The international innovation cluster Astana Hub, together with IT Park Uzbekistan, is launching the MARKET ENTRY program for Uzbek technology companies ready to scale their business in Kazakhstan.
Applications are open until September 20 via the link.
As part of the program, participants will undergo acceleration, adapt their products and business models to Kazakhstan’s legal and tax framework, meet potential clients and local partners, test their solutions with a new audience, and prepare for pilot project launches. A key element of the program will be support in company registration at Astana Hub, along with access to tax incentives and government subsidies.
“Our partnership with Uzbekistan is developing in a systematic way and has already proven its effectiveness. Together with IT Park Uzbekistan, we launched the Digital Startups Scale Up Program in Dubai and brought regional startups into international programs, including the AlchemistX & Silicon Valley Residency Program. The next step is Hero Training, joint projects in China following the Digital Bridge forum, and the participation of our teams at the world’s largest platforms such as TechCrunch Disrupt and GITEX. We are confident that by joining forces, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan are building a competitive and innovative space in Central Asia that is open to global cooperation,” noted Tanat Uskembayev, Managing Director of Astana Hub.
The program will launch on October 6 and run through November 30. The official opening will take place on October 3 during the international tech forum Digital Bridge, and the final stage will be Demo Day on December 5, where startups will present their projects to investors and venture funds.
Participants will receive a full support package, including work with trackers, mentoring sessions, expert consultations in key areas, office space and co-living in Astana for two team members, as well as broad networking opportunities at Astana Hub, including participation in exhibitions, forums, and industry events.
