Applications are open until March 27, 2026, and can be submitted through the platform at astanahub.com.
The program brings together specialists from different countries who go through the full startup creation cycle—from idea development and team formation to building an MVP, launching pilot projects, and attracting investment. Participants may include developers, engineers, AI specialists, product managers, entrepreneurs, startup founders, and anyone interested in creating technology products. During the selection process, special attention is given to candidates’ ability to build products, rapidly test hypotheses, and demonstrate tangible progress.
“Over the previous cohorts of AI’preneurs, we received more than 960 applications, graduated 79 participants, and supported the creation of 35 startups, which have already raised over $400,000 in investments. These results demonstrate that a strong community of AI entrepreneurs is emerging in the region. Our goal is to bring together talented specialists from different fields so that new ideas can emerge in this environment and teams capable of building globally competitive AI startups can be formed,” said Tanat Uskembayev, Managing Director of Astana Hub.
The program consists of two key stages. The first stage is Founder Lab, which lasts four weeks. During this period, participants develop entrepreneurial skills, take part in intensive challenges and hackathons, meet experienced founders, and form teams for future projects. Afterward, teams move on to the Core Accelerator, a ten-week program during which participants test hypotheses, develop their MVPs, and begin working with their first customers. The program concludes with a Demo Day, where teams present their projects to investors and corporate partners.
As part of AI’preneurs, participants will gain access to the infrastructure of Astana Hub, the AlemPlus technology platform, mentorship support, workshops, and startup tracking. The program also provides opportunities to secure seed funding and expand into international markets through Astana Hub’s global network.
