Applications are open until October 8, 2025 on the astanahub.com platform.
Industrial AI Acceleration 2025 covers a wide range of sectors: energy, mining and metallurgy, oil and gas, machinery and engineering, construction and infrastructure, transport and logistics, telecommunications, and banking.
The program opens the door for startups and IT companies to collaborate with major enterprises. Participants receive concrete requests from companies ready to adopt new technologies. Teams will gain tools for effective negotiations, master complex B2B sales, test and pilot their solutions on industrial sites, and receive support from mentors and industry experts. The most promising projects will also receive assistance in scaling, attracting investment, and expert guidance.
“When technology meets real business challenges, everyone wins. For startups, it is an opportunity to grow; for enterprises, it means ready-made solutions that improve efficiency and competitiveness. Last year, the program proved its effectiveness: we reviewed 120 solutions from eight countries, 35 projects passed the final selection, 22 received pilot passports, and 11 have already been launched at enterprises. In 2025, we are scaling up so that even more teams can move from idea to implementation, while the industrial sector gains access to the most relevant digital and AI-driven solutions,” noted Anarbek Utegulov, Director of the Industry 4.0 Office at Astana Hub.
Industrial AI Acceleration 2025 will run until the end of December 2025 and will follow a phased approach: enterprises define their challenges, teams submit applications, selected teams undergo training and preparation, pilot projects are launched, and results are presented. The first pilots are expected to begin in November 2025.
More information about the program and the application process is available on the Astana Hub platform.
