00:00Kazakhstan is racing to become Central Asia's AI hub.

00:13With nearly all public services already online,

00:16the country plans to go fully digital within three years.

00:19The government has even created a dedicated AI ministry and research university,

00:24part of a broader push to make AI a national growth engine.

00:27Welcome to EastWestConnect.

00:31We're highlighting business and economic developments in Kazakhstan

00:34and the wider Central Asia region, connecting with Europe and beyond.

00:39Kazakhstan unveiled its first and largest supercomputer this summer.

00:42Powered by NVIDIA chips and built for AI research,

00:45it can perform two quintillion calculations per second.

00:48We sat down with Jaslan Madiev, Deputy Prime Minister,

00:51overseeing artificial intelligence and digital development

00:54to explore how the nation is shaping its AI ecosystem.

00:59We are opening other supercomputer clusters.

01:02We have a supercomputer GPU cluster in U.S., in Silicon Valley, in Texas.

01:07Now opening another supercomputer cluster in Almaty.

01:10So this is the important computing infrastructure

01:14that will be available for startups, science centers, research and R&D centers,

01:22universities, Samruk Kazina holding company,

01:26and national companies, and government bodies.

01:28So this is for developing of AI agents, AI products,

01:33and embedding AI into the economy.

01:35On the top of that, we have built several Kazakh large language models,

01:40which will be used by those platforms.

01:43And from the digital sovereignty perspective,

01:46it's a very important step.

01:48We have our Kazakh LLM on meta,

01:52our foundational models like LAMA.

01:55We have E-Lightning and Dipsick, and it's open source.

01:58Beyond the first Kazakh large language model,

02:01should we expect any other game changers on the horizon?

02:04LLM AI, International AI Center,

02:07is like a big funnel,

02:08starting from the general public,

02:10and going through the kids, students, startups, big techs,

02:16and the best solutions will be embedded into the economy sector.

02:20It's a big center of competence,

02:2220 plus thousand square meters building,

02:25eight floors.

02:27On the second and third floor,

02:28we will launch two more education,

02:30school kids of age of 12 to 18.

02:34We'll cover 11 areas,

02:35generative AI, robotics, 3D modeling,

02:40filmmaking, music making,

02:41so the creative industry also will be covered.

02:44On the fourth and fifth floor,

02:46we'll be having tomorrow school,

02:48launching it together with Nicolas Adirac,

02:50a famous entrepreneur from France.

02:53On the sixth floor,

02:55we will have AI campus for startups.

02:58With our acceleration programs,

03:01we are exclusive partner of Google for startups.

03:03We have acceleration program with Draper University,

03:07StarTex from Stanford,

03:09Alchemist B2B accelerator.

03:11We have our own homemade accelerator program,

03:15AIpreneurs,

03:16where people come as individuals,

03:18we give them data sets,

03:20GPUs,

03:22we give large language models,

03:24and they graduate as startups.

03:26So it will be like the factory of startups.

03:29On the seventh floor,

03:30we'll have big tech offices,

03:33R&D labs,

03:34AI centers.

03:35Mr. Deputy Prime Minister,

03:37thank you so much.

03:38My pleasure.

03:41Kazakhstan is positioning itself

03:42as Central Asia's gateway to global tech,

03:45connecting startups,

03:46investors,

03:47and policy makers

03:48under one roof in Astana.

03:52Over 20,000 innovators,

03:54investors,

03:55and startups

03:55gathered in Astana

03:56for the three-day digital bridge forum,

04:01Startups secured tens of thousands of euros

04:03in funding

04:04as Kazakhstan showcased

04:05its growing digital and AI ambitions.

04:08Among the startups

04:20driving this new wave

04:21is Neurobox,

04:22a compact supercomputer

04:23that can replace

04:24entire departments

04:25in finance

04:26and government

04:27with its multimodal

04:28AI agents.

04:30Running fully offline,

04:31it performs

04:31180 trillion

04:33operations per second,

04:35building AI models

04:36without cloud access.

04:38In the closed corner,

04:39there are several neurons

04:40that don't turn to the internet.

04:41You can scan your data

04:43your data,

04:44your documents,

04:44your Excel tablids,

04:46your financial indicators,

04:48which then,

04:49you can then

04:50pull out your documents

04:51and analytics

04:51or do that

04:52or do that.

04:53At this year's forum,

04:55President Tokaev

04:56announced plans

04:57to turn digital bridge

04:58into an AI bridge,

04:59linking Kazakhstan's

05:00technological ambitions

05:01with the global AI future.

05:03By 2029,

05:07Kazakhstan wants to see

05:08100 new startups

05:09every year

05:10and raise AI exports

05:12to more than

05:124 billion euros.

05:14Here to assess

05:15the effectiveness

05:15of the country's

05:16AI strategy

05:17is a venture investor,

05:19Marat Tolubay,

05:20CEO of Aktivat Venture Capital.

05:23Mr. Tolubay,

05:24welcome.

05:25So my first question is,

05:26what would convince

05:27investors watching us today

05:29to take a closer look

05:30at Kazakhstan's

05:31AI ecosystem?

05:32The venture market

05:33in the whole region,

05:35Central Asia and Kavkaz,

05:36is growing up

05:36in recent years

05:37with very large

05:38and Kazakhstan

05:40is the leader

05:41in this market.

05:43For example,

05:43in 2024

05:44in the start-up

05:47in all the region

05:49were invested in

05:49over 100 million dollars,

05:50and of them

05:5170 million dollars

05:52were invested

05:53in Kazakhstan

05:54in Kazakhstan,

05:54in the start-up.

05:56Now,

05:56we have

05:57on the market

05:58about

05:5820-25

06:00специализированных

06:01fonds,

06:02companies,

06:02which are only

06:03in start-ups.

06:04There are

06:05about 1500

06:06start-ups

06:07in the start-ups.

06:07This market

06:08is growing up

06:09very strong.

06:10Kazakhstan's

06:11start-up

06:11Hicksfield

06:12became the first

06:13one-on-one.

06:13He received more

06:14than 1 million dollars

06:15in the US.

06:15But there are

06:17a number of

06:17other

06:18start-ups

06:18who came to

06:20the international market.

06:21Do Kazakh

06:22start-ups

06:23attract

06:24any international

06:26co-investors,

06:27or are they

06:27still largely

06:27dependent

06:28on domestic capital?

06:29We have a standard

06:30scheme that

06:31start-up,

06:31who showed

06:32good results

06:33on the

06:33local market,

06:34will get

06:35investments

06:36from kazakhs.

06:36investors

06:37and go to

06:38international market.

06:40But there are

06:41a number of

06:41start-ups,

06:42which have

06:43already received

06:43investments

06:44from foreign investors.

06:46Hicksfield

06:47again,

06:48Leaping.ai,

06:50Alma,

06:51this are

06:52start-ups,

06:52which have

06:53received

06:53American investments.

06:54And

06:55from our

06:56portfolio

06:57start-up

06:58Garderob,

06:58he got

06:59investment from

07:00European

07:01fund.

07:01The

07:02main

07:02advantage of

07:03kazakhs

07:04in the

07:04world,

07:05is that

07:06and

07:07start-ups

07:08with

07:08artificial intelligence

07:09are

07:09now

07:09The start-up is now very low-economic.

07:12At the stage of the pre-seed, the start-up is worth 1-2 million dollars in the US,

07:18and they raise around 200-300 thousand dollars.

07:22At the same time, the European, for example,

07:24are already 5 and more million dollars,

07:27the American is actually 7-8 million dollars.

07:30And, so, they raise around 500 thousand, 1 million and so on.

07:34We have in Kazakhstan very talented people,

07:37who can do exactly the same start-up,

07:40but they are more expensive,

07:43and now it's more profitable to invest in them

07:45until they turn into people.

07:48Thank you so much for your insights.

07:52That's all for now.

07:54See you in the next episode of EastWestConnect.
