Recently, Marcus who is well-known in the financial industry has officially joined Getty Group as the Chief Marketing Director.

Getty Group was established in 2014 at the island country of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. It has then embarked a subversive reformation in the financial industry. Since its establishment, Getty has integrated technology into the financial industry and successfully developed the oil price monitoring system ExypnOS 1.0 in 2015. The group also won the Excellent Brand of Worldwide Excellence Award 2018/19 for successfully developing the system. They have attributed their achievement to the excellent talents and teamwork.

Recruiting talents to build a high-quality financial technology platform

Getty Group, which focuses on talents, is committed to creating an excellent mechanism and a high-standard platform to attract outstanding talents. After deciding to enter the Asian market, Getty has been searching extensively but has not been able to find a talent who can take on the important role of the Asian regional director. It was not until the appearance of Marcus.

Marcus’s portfolio is very interesting. He was graduated from the Department of Marketing and Finance at the University of Melbourne, Australia, and has unique insights over the global markets and finance. In addition to the financial market, Marcus also has a strong interest in marketing, hence after graduation, he joined the insurance and real estate agency industries with organizational marketing as the development direction.

Although Marcus has a lot of experiences in leading the team and operations, as the era is evolving rapidly, the 90s and 00s have entered the trail. Marcus has gradually realized that the market has changed, the method that he has been using will soon reach the bottleneck. He then decided to go overseas to explore and get more inspiration from different field and industry.  Coincidentally, Marcus was hired as a senior financial consultant for an international financial technology company, specifically responsible for business in the Asia-Pacific region, especially the Chinese market.

During the years in the Chinese market, Marcus broadened his horizons and witnessed the progress and popularization of China’s financial technology, as well as the bottlenecks and difficulties in the development of traditional finance. The experience of the past few years has made him more certain that the future will be an era dominated by financial technology, and the sharing model will be able to drive the development of financial technology towards globalization. Therefore, he resolutely set off the traditional financial technology company with high pays and turned to the digital finance industry, financial technology and blockchain fields, and participated in marketing efforts to drive the transformation of traditional finance into digital finance.

Artificial intelligence and data analysis create precise investment strategies

In terms of investment philosophy, Marcus is a value investor. “I hope to practice the long-term investment philosophy, based on in-depth fundamental research, and strive to select high-quality investment projects that can create long-term value through the comparison of the industrial characteristics of various economies. I believe that through the assistance of data analysis and artificial intelligence, the investment can become easier and able to earn a return on investment on a regular basis.”

“I mainly resist potential market risks by adjusting the combination of industries and style structures; of course, with the support of our company’s artificial intelligence system, our investment judgments will become more precise and accurate, and this is why I joined Getty Group because I believe in the future of financial technology and the bottomless development possibilities in it,” Marcus said.

Central Asian Innovation Hubs Set Global Goals: New International Offices, $10 Billion in Tech Exports, and Over 8 Unicorns by 2030

Published

on

This year, the largest technology parks in Central Asia—Astana Hub and IT Park Uzbekistan—will open new international hubs in China and the United Arab Emirates as part of their joint initiative under the Central Asian Innovation Hubs brand. They will also expand participation in major global tech forums and aim to generate more than $10 billion in tech exports and create over eight unicorns by 2030.

These ambitious plans were announced by the CEOs of Astana Hub and IT Park Uzbekistan during the visit of the President of Kazakhstan, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, and the President of Uzbekistan, Shavkat Mirziyoyev, to the AlmatyFair.ai exhibition. The two leaders were introduced to the activities of Central Asian Innovation Hubs—a strategic alliance of the region’s top tech parks aimed at accelerating the development of Central Asia’s startup ecosystem.

“We’re committed to strengthening our partnership with IT Park Uzbekistan under the unified Central Asian Innovation Hubs brand to ensure dynamic global positioning of Central Asia’s innovation potential. This year, we plan to launch joint hubs in China and the UAE and participate in the world’s largest tech platforms, including the Eurasia Blockchain Summit in Turkey, GITEX Europe in Germany, London Tech Week in the UK, TechCrunch Disrupt in the US, Biban in Saudi Arabia, and Web Summit in Portugal. These efforts will significantly expand the international reach of Central Asian startups, attract strategic partners, and elevate the innovation brand of the region,” said Magzhan Madiyev, CEO of Astana Hub.

In 2024, Central Asian Innovation Hubs—initiated by Astana Hub and IT Park Uzbekistan—showcased more than 40 regional startups at global forums, including the INMerge Innovation Summit, Web Summit 2024, and TechCrunch Disrupt 2024. These appearances helped raise the region’s profile and opened new international opportunities for Central Asian founders.

“Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan have already achieved significant progress in the tech sector. IT Park Uzbekistan is confidently transforming the country into a regional hub for service delivery and IT outsourcing, while Astana Hub is building a strong startup ecosystem that fosters innovation. By joining forces and leveraging each other’s strengths and experiences, we can reach new heights even faster. A new generation of innovators and entrepreneurs is emerging in our countries—ambitious, bold, and thinking beyond convention. They are already shaping the future. Our strategic goal is not just to support this movement but to create a resilient and dynamic ecosystem where every talented individual has access to global expertise, resources, and international opportunities for scaling. Central Asian Innovation Hubs are more than just startup platforms. They are growth engines shaping the future of Central Asia as a region open to global investment, technological advancement, and the full realization of human potential,” said Abdulahad Kuchkarov, CEO of IT Park Uzbekistan.

Another major milestone in regional collaboration was the signing of a memorandum of understanding at the AlmatyFair.ai exhibition in Almaty between Astana Hub, IT Park Uzbekistan, and Growth Vision Pro Ltd. The agreement outlines joint efforts to promote Central Asian startups in the Chinese market through the establishment of a new international hub in Shanghai. The parties will collaborate on ecosystem development, investment attraction, and international expansion, as well as launch joint acceleration programs and support resident startups from both countries entering China.

From March 28 to 30, Almaty hosted AlmatyFair.ai, one of the largest AI exhibitions in the region, bringing together leading tech companies, startups, and AI experts. The event was organized by the Ministry of Digital Development, Innovations and Aerospace Industry of Kazakhstan and the Akimat of Almaty. Kaspi.kz served as the general sponsor, with Freedom Bank and Halyk Bank as official partners.
