Contest participants were offered technical tasks in three areas. At the time of the qualifying round, the ministry had received five applications: two for developing the Deftech web portal and three to create a software product for conducting a competitive selection process among conscripts to receive a grant to study at a university.

"By the end of the year, we intend to hold a hackathon on a program that will allow conscripts to evaluate the quality of food, the complete coverage of the clothing provision, and other parameters. Next year we will hold three to five more such contests. Now the ministry is preparing "homework", determining the needs for such solutions. We will inform the market by publishing the technical specifications on the website," - Deputy Defense Minister Darkhan Akhmediyev shared his plans.

Five projects were considered at the Defense Tech 2.0 Hackathon: Intelligent Data Solutions, 21 Tech, Platonus, Zhanat Abkenov, and Samal Kabzhanova.

"Our site is adapted for all types of devices. Functionality can also be changed or added. The website was created in Kazakh, Russian, and English. Technical support 24/7 and annual maintenance. The site will be launched within two days", - Zhanat presented the solution.
