00:01I'm Asim Bolajan, I'm a Chapter Director of Women in Tech Kazakhstan.

00:16When we started the Digital Kazakhstan program, I decided to be involved more in IT.

00:22And from 2015, in all this community, I was only one woman in room.

00:29If you are in this minority, it is your personal story.

00:33So that's why I decided to, we need to do something to support and to involve in tech in IT more women.

00:43My name is Renata Yulubaeva. I'm a CEO of Alfa Rabi Innovation Hub Dubai.

00:47At the same time, I'm an Astana City Lead for Women in Tech Kazakhstan Chapter.

00:52And I'm also supporting Female Founders 3.

00:54Actually, I'm in the technology and IT sphere for more than eight years now, I believe.

00:59I came from the international relations sphere.

01:01And I've always been a lot of competing with all of the men, not just because of a woman,

01:07but I'm just, was a very newcomer in the industry.

01:10My name is Agirim Nurgaliyeva. I'm a mom of two and I'm a surreal entrepreneur.

01:19For the last 12 years, I'm performing with small businesses like beauty salons.

01:24And for nowadays, I'm building my second startup.

01:26For the last five years, I'm dealing with this IT industry with no technical background.

01:31And it is a very awesome experience to develop and be the part of such a great industry

01:38because the industry is new, the ecosystem is new, and you have a chance to be the part of the big story.

01:48What I see during years in Kazakhstan, we do improve all of the business processes

01:55and we do improve our technology development.

01:57And it's also improved for women.

01:59For women, it's a big challenge because we are in male-dominated country, in male-dominated region in general.

02:05One year ago, we launched the chapter Women in Tech here in Kazakhstan

02:09because we need to be part of some global community

02:12because Women in Tech globally has 65 chapters over the world.

02:16The first obstacle that I met was actually in my mind.

02:19I was really disrupted and was thinking that if you don't have a technical background, there is nothing to do.

02:27This is a main mistake that most of girls are having right now.

02:31Ecosystems like Astana Hub and Women in Tech are helping the girls and people around to change this mindset

02:40because if you have no technical background, even though you can do the startup,

02:44because you can have lots of experts in different acceleration programs and you don't have to pay for that.

02:50In general, in STEM, in Kazakhstan, we have about the 25-30% of presence of women in technologies.

03:00And it is quite good, yes, because in average, it is global statistics and we are good at it.

03:05But we need to pay attention on female founders.

03:10We have not so many female co-founded and founded startups.

03:13We have not so many women in venture industry as a venture capitalist in general.

03:18So that's why recently we've announced our first female venture fund and we would like to involve more women as investors.

03:27Because mostly in VCs, in the decision maker, there are also men on the other side who are making decisions.

03:33In Women in Tech, Kazakhstan, for the female founders, we are trying to build one more platform,

03:37one more space for negotiations, for fundraising, business development to support those female.

03:42Because it's not very easy.

03:43You come from work, you have a second shift, you have children, you have stuff to do, cleaning, cooking, a lot of things.

03:49And especially in Kazakhstan, we are a very traditional country.

03:52You have to have a lot of negotiations with your relatives, with your husband's relatives.

03:56At the same time, going back to work, you're a boss, you're a leader, you're a C-level decision maker.

04:01So it's very hard. It's even very hard to do mentally.

04:04My personal advice will be start today, don't wait the ideal moment, whatever you want.

04:09Just test your ideas, test your hypothesis.

04:12And this is my main point to show the women that even with no technical background, even with children,

04:19even in Central Asia, you can build everything you want.

04:22Just it is the problem of communication of knowledge and the ecosystem that we have.

04:28So that's why it is very important to make this background and accelerate not only the startups,

04:36but also the female venture capitalist community.

04:39In three years, we can build a more strong technological community of female startups, I'm sure.

04:47So our VC and our platform from Kazakhstan will quickly develop into the central hub VC, I think.

04:55Thank you.

04:56Thank you.
