The start of the new stream is scheduled for June. In the first stage, the program will cover six cities of Kazakhstan: Aktau, Kostanay, Petropavlovsk, Kokshetau, Aktobe and Taldykorgan. The program is aimed at participants over the age of 16 and is completely free.
Startup Orda offers an intensive offline program based on regional hubs, where participants will be able to go from an idea to creating a minimally viable product (MVP). The program includes practical workshops, work with experienced trackers and experts, business model development and systematic hypothesis testing.
"The uniqueness of Startup Orda is that we don't wait for ready—made entrepreneurs - we create them from scratch. This is not just training, but an environment where the founder's mindset is formed in a short time: through practice, mistakes and constant work with trackers. At the same time, the best startups of the first stream of 2026 will have the opportunity to participate in Startup Alley on the Digital Bridge international platform, as well as access to the semi-finals of the Astana Hub Battle," said Dian Aybashpanov, Director of the Astana Hub Regional Development Office.
The effectiveness of the program is also confirmed by the stories of its graduates. Thus, the Cortex AI startup from Kyzylorda took the second place at the Digital Qazaqstan Battle 2026 and received a prize of 5 million tenge. The project is an AI clinical decision support system that predicts the risk of rejection of a transplanted kidney.
Another example is EpiQ AI from Kostanay. A project by Diana Mailyhanova, a graduate of Startup Orda 2025, helps laboratories plan and control purchases, analyze reagent consumption, and predict the need for materials. The team is currently at the stage of signing a pilot implementation agreement with three laboratories in Kostanay region.
Startup Orda has already confirmed its relevance among start-up entrepreneurs. According to the results of the previous stream, 752 applications were submitted from all over the country, and 205 startups reached the final stage of the program.
Today, Startup Orda is shaping a new generation of technology entrepreneurs and strengthening Kazakhstan's position as a fast-growing innovation hub in Central Asia.
Applications are already open. You can apply until May 25 inclusive.
