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 the 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,

01:52foundational models like LAMA.

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

01:58Beyond the first Kazakh large language model,

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

02:04I-LM 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 Adirak,

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.

04:08The goal was one,

04:09creating a collaborative collaborative environment

04:12where there are opportunities,

04:13education,

04:15business,

04:15government,

04:17big tech companies,

04:18venture.

04:19Among 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

04:32180 trillion operations

04:34per second,

04:35building AI models

04:36without cloud access.

04:38In this year's forum,

04:55President Tokayev

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 4 billion euros.

05:14Here to assess

05:15the effectiveness

05:15of the country's AI strategy

05:17is a venture investor,

05:19Marat Tolubay,

05:20CEO of Aktivat Venture Capital.

05:23Mr. Tolubay, welcome.

05:25So my first question is,

05:26what would convince investors

05:28watching us today

05:29to take a closer look

05:30at Kazakhstan's AI ecosystem?

05:32The venture market

05:33in the whole region,

05:35Central Asia and Kavkaz

05:36in the past few years

05:36is a very large time

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

05:49in the region

05:49more than 100 million dollars

05:50and of them

05:5170 million dollars

05:52are invested

05:53in Kazakhstan

05:54in the start-up.

05:56Now we have

05:57on the market

05:58about 20-25

06:00специализированных

06:01fonds,

06:02companies,

06:02which are only

06:03in start-ups.

06:04There are about 1500

06:06start-ups

06:07and this market

06:08is developing

06:09very powerful.

06:10Kazakhstan's start-up

06:11Hicksfield

06:12became the first

06:13one-on-one.

06:13He received more

06:14than 1 billion dollars

06:15in the USA.

06:16But there are a number

06:17of other

06:18start-ups

06:18that are

06:20coming to the international market.

06:21Do Kazakh

06:22start-ups

06:23attract any

06:25international

06:26co-investors

06:26or are they still

06:27largely dependent

06:28on domestic capital?

06:29We have a standard

06:30scheme that

06:30start-up,

06:31who showed

06:32good results

06:33on the local

06:34market,

06:34he gets

06:35investment

06:36from kazakhs.

06:36investors

06:37and goes

06:38on the international

06:38market.

06:40But we have

06:41a number of

06:41start-ups,

06:42who already

06:43got investment

06:44from foreign

06:45investors.

06:46The same

06:47Hicksfield,

06:47I'll mention

06:48Leaping.ai,

06:50Alma,

06:51this are

06:52start-ups,

06:52which got

06:53American investment

06:54from the

06:54market.

06:55And from

06:56our

06:56portfolio

06:57start-up

06:58Garderob,

06:59he got

06:59investment

07:00from the

07:00European

07:01fund.

07:02The main

07:02advantage of

07:03the

07:03kazakhs

07:04start-ups

07:05in the

07:06world,

07:06and

07:06start-ups

07:08with

07:08artificial intelligence,

07:09that

07:09kazakhs

07:10start-ups

07:10are

07:10not

07:11They are absolutely недооценен.

07:12На стадии пресид казахстанские стартапы стоят 1,2 млн долларов США

07:18и поднимают раунды 200-300 тыс долларов,

07:22в то время как европейские, допустим, стоят уже 5 и более миллионов,

07:27американские вообще 7-8 млн долларов,

07:30и соответственно они поднимают там 500 тыс., 1 млн и так далее.

07:34У нас в Казахстане очень талантливые ребята,

07:38которые могут делать точно такие же стартапы,

07:41но они стоят дешевле,

07:43и сейчас выгодно в них вкладывать деньги до того,

07:46как они превратились в виде народов.

07:48Thank you so much for your insights.

07:53That's all for now.

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