The flagship project focuses on developing technologies across key sectors — science, industry, the creative economy, and public services. It will contribute to building a national AI ecosystem, attracting investment, supporting startups, and fostering research activities. The Center is expected to increase exports of Kazakhstani AI solutions to $5 billion by 2029, stimulate a new wave of technological and economic growth through the development of artificial intelligence, and position Astana as the leading AI technology hub in Central Asia. As part of the initiative, the Center plans to engage around 10,000 talents annually across various industries, train at least 1,000 specialists, launch about 100 startups, and implement approximately 10 scientific research projects each year.
The facility brings together a public innovation space, the Tomorrow School of Artificial Intelligence, the TUMO Center for Creative Technologies, a startup campus, research laboratories, and an AI-driven Government zone dedicated to developing GovTech solutions.
During his visit, President Tokayev reviewed presentations of domestic AI projects. Among them was Mirai Tech, a deep-tech startup developing a portable AI-powered biomechanics lab — smart sensor insoles and wearable devices designed to prevent injuries and accelerate rehabilitation for athletes and patients. AltBridge provides monitoring of investment portfolios in public markets with detailed reports for each sector. Defect AI helps doctors reduce time spent on routine documentation so they can focus more on patients.
President Tokayev also met with the winners of the International Olympiad in Artificial Intelligence held in Beijing. Kazakh school students earned 3 gold, 1 silver, and 3 bronze medals. This year, the IOAI brought together over 280 young researchers and developers from more than 60 countries. In the unofficial team ranking, Kazakhstan placed 4th in the world, ahead of countries such as China and the United States.
