00:13I'm Asym Bolodzjan.

00:14I'm a Chapter Director of Women in Tech Kazachstan.

00:16When we started the Digital Kazachstan program,

00:20I decided to be involved more in IT.

00:22And from 2015, in all this community,

00:27I 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 we need to do something

00:36to support and to involve in tech in IT more women.

00:44My name is Renata Yudubaeva.

00:45I'm a CEO of Alfa Rabi Innovation Hub Dubai.

00:48At the same time, I'm an Astana city lead

00:50for Women in Tech Kazachstan chapter.

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

00:54Actually, I'm in the technology and IT sphere

00:57for more than eight years now, I believe.

00:59I came from the international relations sphere.

01:02And I've always been a lot of competing with all of the men.

01:06Not just because of a woman, but I'm just

01:08was a very newcomer in the industry.

01:10My name is Adirim Nurkaliyeva.

01:16I'm a mom of two, and I'm a surreal entrepreneur.

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

01:22like beauty salons.

01:23And for nowadays, I'm building my second startup.

01:26For the last five years, I'm dealing with this IT industry

01:29with no technical background.

01:31And it is a very awesome experience to develop

01:35and be the part of such a great industry

01:38because the industry is new, the ecosystem is new.

01:41And you have a chance to be the part of the big story.

01:49What I see during years in Kazakhstan,

01:52we 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

02:01because we are in male-dominated country,

02:03in male-dominated region in general.

02:05One year ago, we launched the chapter

02:07Women 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.

02:20I was really disrupted and was thinking that

02:23if you don't have a technical background,

02:25there is nothing to do.

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

02:31Ecosystems like Astana Hub and Women in Trek

02:34are helping the girls and people around

02:38to change this mindset

02:40because if you have no technical background,

02:42even though you can do the startup,

02:44because you can have lots of experts

02:46in different acceleration programs

02:48and you don't have to pay for that.

02:50In general, in STEM in Kazakhstan,

02:52we have about the 25-30% of presence of women in technologies.

02:59And it is quite good, yes,

03:01because in average it is global statistics

03:03and we are good at it.

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

03:09We have not so many female co-founded and founded startups.

03:13We have not so many women in venture industry

03:16as a venture capitalist in general.

03:18So that's why recently we've announced our first female venture fund

03:23and we would like to involve more women as investors.

03:27Because mostly in VCs, in the decision maker,

03:30there are also men on the other side who are making decisions.

03:32In Women in Kazakhstan, for the female founders,

03:35we are trying to build one more platform,

03:37one more space for negotiations, for fundraising,

03:41business development to support those females.

03:43Because it's not very easy.

03:44You come from work, you have a second shift,

03:46you have children, you have stuff to do,

03:48cleaning, cooking, a lot of things.

03:50And especially in Kazakhstan,

03:51we are a very traditional country.

03:53You have to have a lot of negotiations with your relatives,

03:55with your husband's relatives.

03:57At the same time, going back to work,

03:59you're a boss, you're a leader,

04:00you're a C-level decision maker.

04:02So it's very hard.

04:03It's even very hard to do mentally.

04:05My personal advice will be start today.

04:07Don't wait the ideal moment.

04:09Whatever you want, just test your ideas,

04:12test your hypothesis.

04:13And this is my main point to show the women

04:17that even with no technical background,

04:19even with children, even in Central Asia,

04:21you can build everything you want.

04:23Just it is the problem of communication,

04:26of knowledge and the ecosystem that we have.

04:30So that's why it is very important to make this background

04:35and accelerate not only the startups,

04:37but also the female venture capitalist community.

04:40In three years,

04:41we can build a more strong technological community

04:45of female startups, I'm sure.

04:48So our VC and our platform from Kazakhstan

04:51will quickly develop into the central hub VC, I think.

04:55I think.

04:56.

04:57.

04:58.

04:59.
