Participation in the module provides executors with the opportunity to implement their own scientific and technological developments, establish potential collaborations with major public and corporate clients, and contribute to the development of Kazakhstan’s technological future.

The solution submission process consists of four steps: go to the “Technological Challenges” section on the Astana Hub portal, review the available tasks, log into your personal account, and submit your solution. Each challenge remains open for responses for up to 14 calendar days from the date of publication.

The “Technological Challenges” module was created to simplify interaction between business, science, and government, support the implementation of applied technological solutions, and stimulate innovation in Kazakhstan.
