Speaker Talk with Almaty Hub

Join us for a focused session on how startups in Central Asia - like Higgsfiled - can accelerate product development and go-to-market using ByteDance’s latest AI models and ecosystem.

We’ll break down how our models are already operating at global frontier standards, while remaining highly cost effective compared to alternatives. More importantly, this isn’t just about models - we’ll show how our full-stack ecosystem supports startups end-to-end: from building and iteration, to GTM execution and growth at scale.

What you’ll get:

• Practical insights on leveraging ByteDance models to reduce build time and cost
• Real strategies for scaling faster with limited resources
• Access to our startup support programs and ecosystem partnerships
• Free credit sign-up links available on-site for immediate testing and integration
• Introduction to V-Start Global Incubator, and how it provides structured support, resources, and global exposure for early-stage teams

We’ll also walk through our broader startup program and how we partner with founders to drive real growth - not just experimentation.

Speakers:

• Jinghao Lu — Head of Byteplus V-Start Startup Program
• Aria Sailike — Byteplus AI GTM Strategist
