Kazakhstan’s Startup Oasis: A Talented Tech Pool Takes On Silicon Valley

Kazakhstan is largest landlocked country in the world and the largest economy in Central Asia, accounting for over 61% of the region’s GDP and boasting the highest GDP per capita. Rich with nomadic history and a fusion of traditional and modern architecture, Kazakhstan stands as a cornerstone of economic development and political stability in the region, offering a friendly, safe environment that fosters innovation and provides an ideal foundation for IT companies to grow and thrive.


The country showcases its rapidly-evolving IT ecosystem with the largest International Tech Hub in Central Asia, Astana Hub, leading the charge. Amidst the country’s steppe and arid land, Astana Hub is working to create an oasis for IT startups in Astana that will propel the country to the national stage.

Astana Hub is working on bringing the country’s brightest talents and technology specialists abroad to build a strong presence in Silicon Valley.

"Astana Hub’s mission is to elevate Kazakhstan’s tech sector to a global stage, creating real opportunities for innovation and economic growth.
