The first Digital Qazaqstan forum will take place on March 27, 2026, in the city of Shymkent, one of Kazakhstan’s key industrial and economic centers. Starting from 2026, Digital Qazaqstan will be held annually in different cities across the country, forming a unified national ecosystem for Kazakhstan’s technological and digital development. Hosting the forum in Shymkent creates opportunities for in-depth discussions on the digitalization of the real sector, the adoption of AI in industry, and the strengthening of ties between regions and the national technology ecosystem.
The theme of Digital Qazaqstan 2026 will be a new industrial era — “Industry 5.0: The Power of Collaboration.” The Industry 5.0 concept focuses on harmonious interaction between humans and technology, where artificial intelligence, data, and robotics serve as tools to enhance human potential, increase economic efficiency, and ensure sustainable development. The forum will bring together representatives of government, business, international corporations, investors, technology companies, startups, and the expert community to discuss practical approaches to implementing digital and AI solutions across key sectors of the economy.
The forum’s business program will include a plenary session, industry-focused panel discussions, roundtables, an exhibition of IT companies and startups, technology competitions and contests, hackathons, as well as the Digital Qazaqstan Awards ceremony, aimed at recognizing the best national and regional practices in digital and technological transformation.
Media accreditation is open until March 9, 2026, 6:30 PM. The registration form is available online. This is a unique opportunity to gain early access to key events, keynote speeches by industry leaders, and exclusive materials on the development of Kazakhstan’s digital economy.
