Kazakhstan may soon be
home to an international technology hub. Prime Minister Olzhas Bektenov
discussed plans for its establishment with Balaji Srinivasan, founder of the international
Network School community. The project will be implemented in the Akmola Region,
with future expansion into Alatau City. It will combine IT training, startup
development, technology entrepreneurship, and AI initiatives. The new hub is
expected to attract software developers, engineers, researchers, and
entrepreneurs from around the world. The meeting also covered other
initiatives, including Network School’s participation in the AI Film Festival.
Following the talks, Bektenov instructed the relevant government agencies to
support the implementation of the joint projects.
