Kazakhstan’s Astana hub fuels tech start-ups and export boom
In this episode of East-West Connect, we explore Kazakhstan’s tech boom at the Astana hub, highlighting AI startups like Arlan Biotech and Autism Spectrum that are driving innovation.
Kazakhstan’s IT sector is growing rapidly, with the Astana Hub playing a key role. Supporting more than 1,500 companies, the hub is a hotbed of innovation.
Arlan Biotech is one of the start-ups supported. It uses AI to speed up antibody discovery and aims to revolutionise drug development. Autism Spectrum is another; it is developing an app to help diagnose and support children with autism and is already testing the app in hospitals.
Encouraged by programmes such as Google for Startups, IT exports exceed $700 million, according to Minister Zhaslan Madiyev. Residents of the Astana Hub export to nearly 90 countries, driving Kazakhstan’s economic diversification.
