AI’preneurs is Astana Hub’s flagship acceleration program, launched in 2024. It is the first platform in Kazakhstan dedicated to developing AI-focused startups. Over the course of three months, participants move from idea development and team formation to bringing a product to market. At every stage, they are guided by experts and trackers.
“Collaboration with the TON Foundation expands the opportunities available to AI’preneurs participants. The program gains access to international-level expertise, and teams receive new tools to build products at the intersection of artificial intelligence and decentralized technologies,” said Yerbol Akhmetov, Director of Business Programs Office at Astana Hub.
As part of the partnership, program participants will take part in workshops led by the TON team, focused on the practical application of TON ecosystem tools, as well as masterclasses on creating and developing Telegram Mini Apps.
The partnership will enable participants to work on products combining AI and Web3, test their solutions in real-world environments, and experiment with TON ecosystem tools hands-on.
