00:10Kazakstan 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
00:23Part 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
00:36Connecting with Europe and beyond
00:38Kazakhstan 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
00:57We are opening other supercomputer clusters
01:02We have a supercomputer GPU cluster in US, in Silicon Valley, in Texas
01:06Now opening another supercomputer cluster in Almaty
01:09So this is the important computing infrastructure that will be available for startups, science centers, research and R&D centers, universities, Samruk Kazina holding company and national companies and government bodies
01:27So this is for developing AI agents, AI products and embedding AI into the economy
01:34And embedding AI into the economy
01:36On the top of that we have built several Kazakh large language models
01:40Which will be used by those platforms
01:42And from the digital sovereignty perspective
01:45It's a very important step
01:48We have our Kaz LLM on meta foundational models like LAMA
01:54We have E-Lightning and Dipsik and it's open source
01:58Beyond the first Kazakh large language model
02:01Should we expect any other game changers on the horizon?
02:04LMAI, International AI Center
02:07Is like a big funnel starting from the general public
02:10And going through the kids, students, startups, big techs
02:15And the best solutions will be embedded into the economy sector
02:19It's a big center of competence
02:2220 plus thousand square meters building
02:25Eight floors
02:26On the second and third floor
02:28We will launch two more education
02:30School kids of age of 12 to 18
02:33We'll cover 11 areas
02:35Generative AI, robotics, 3D modeling, filmmaking, music making
02:40So the creative industry also will be covered
02:43On the fourth and fifth floor
02:45We'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

03:16Where people come as individuals
03:17We give them data sets, GPUs
03:21We give large language models
03:23And they graduate as startups
03:25So it will be like the factory of startups

04:37At this year's forum, President Tokaev announced plans to turn digital bridge into an AI bridge
04:59Linking Kazakhstan's technological ambitions with the global AI future
05:03By 2029, Kazakhstan wants to see a hundred new startups every year
05:10And raise AI exports to more than 4 billion euros
05:13Here to assess the effectiveness of the country's AI strategy is a venture investor
05:18Marat Tolubay, CEO of Aktivat Venture Capital
05:21Mr Tolubay, welcome

05:31The venture market in general
05:34In our region, Central Asia and Kazakhstan

05:42For example, in 2024, the startups were invested in all the region
05:49Over 100 million dollars
05:50And of them, 70 million dollars
05:52were invested in Kazakhstan
05:54In Kazakhstan's startups
05:55Now, we're on the market

06:00companies, which only invest in startups

06:14The price of more than 1 billion dollars
06:16But there are a number of other
06:18Kazakhstan's startups
06:19Do Kazakh startups attract any international co-investors
06:26Or are they still largely dependent on domestic capital?
06:29We have a standard scheme
