We aim to scale this program further to attract even more talent. I am confident that the projects born out of AI’preneurs will drive global success and make significant contributions to technological advancements,” said Magzhan Madiyev, CEO of Astana Hub.

AI’preneurs has not only showcased the high caliber of tech specialists in Kazakhstan but also highlighted the country’s potential in developing AI solutions. Through the program, teams received access to mentorship, the infrastructure of the Astana Hub tech park, and international networks, enabling a strong start. Key contributors to the acceleration process were leading trackers Yevgeny Frolov and Nikolay Tyan, who worked closely with the startups, offering hands-on guidance and weekly board meetings to refine hypotheses.
