In 2025, 225 startups from 20 countries competed for the chance to enter Silicon Valley. Out of these, 134 projects passed the screening stage, and only 24 made it to the final list. As a result, 10 startups from Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan were accepted into the AlchemistX program, while another 14 projects, including teams from Qatar, the US, Singapore, Georgia, and Mongolia, joined the Silicon Valley Residency.
AlchemistX: Sales Doctor (Uzbekistan), Zaiyo AI (Kazakhstan), QazTWIN (Kazakhstan), Lydya (Uzbekistan), jobster.hr (Uzbekistan), SAT MAKON (Uzbekistan), DD Business (Kazakhstan), Growy Me (Uzbekistan), Aleem (Kazakhstan), One Health (Kazakhstan).
Silicon Valley Residency: Emma Aero (Qatar), Algebras AI (USA), AidMi (Singapore), Ucode (Uzbekistan), CashFlow (Georgia), Zbekwear (Uzbekistan), RFxAI (Qatar/USA), HANDYMATY (USA), StarMake (Kazakhstan), Cyberlabs (Kazakhstan), EasyBox (Kazakhstan), SEM TECHNOLOGIES LLC (Mongolia), Ember AI (Mongolia), Tilmoch (Uzbekistan).
“AlchemistX & Silicon Valley Residency represent a strategic corridor linking Central Eurasia with Silicon Valley. The best startups in the region have gained the opportunity to operate within one of the world’s most competitive innovation ecosystems. The true value of the program lies in tangible results—contracts, investments, and partnerships. The 2024 outcomes proved this: in just four months, 22 startups collectively generated $380,000 in revenue and attracted $1.4 million in investment. These results confirm that our teams have everything necessary to compete successfully on the global stage and make a meaningful contribution to the region’s development,” said Zhaslan Madiev, Minister of Digitalization of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
The participants will undergo a four-month immersion in Silicon Valley’s ecosystem: one-on-one mentoring from venture partners, participation in industry events, practical sessions on entering the US market, and a final Demo Day before investors. Teams will also be able to register businesses in the United States, sign their first contracts, and integrate into the international Silkroad Innovation Hub community.
“Silkroad Innovation Hub was created as a bridge between Central Eurasia and Silicon Valley, and today we see this mission coming to life. Over the past years, our programs have opened doors to the US market for hundreds of startups, helping them secure their first clients and attract investment. Participation in AlchemistX and Silicon Valley Residency confirms that our projects are globally competitive. We will continue to provide infrastructure and opportunities that turn ideas into international businesses,” emphasized Asset Abdualiyev, CEO and Founder of Silkroad Innovation Hub.
The program is being implemented by Astana Hub in cooperation with IT Park Uzbekistan, Silkroad Innovation Hub, and Alchemist Accelerator, with the support of the Ministry of Digital Development, Innovation and Aerospace Industry of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the Ministry of Digital Technologies of the Republic of Uzbekistan, as well as venture funds from both countries.
The entry of startups from Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan into Silicon Valley strengthens the region’s position on the global technology map and opens new prospects for integration into the international innovation ecosystem.
