In 2025, Kazakhstan will launch a program to support the
commercialization of startups. This initiative will foster the development of
unique products and innovative technologies in the country. One such
enterprise, a refined selenium production facility, began operations in 2023.
Its technology enables the production of high-purity selenium with a content
exceeding 99.5%. Plans for the coming years include expanding production
capacity and introducing new methods for processing selenium-containing
materials. Kazakhstan is also actively holding competitions to commercialize
the results of scientific and technological activities. As a result, the export
of scientific products has exceeded 570 million tenge. Additionally, the
announced competition for 2025-2027 under the Zhas Galym program will ensure
the further development of the country’s scientific potential. Notably, since
2021, young scientists have implemented over 2,000 projects, nearly a third of
which focus on advancing engineering knowledge and academic research in
technology.
