Digital Bridge international forum to be held in Astana

Astana is preparing for the main event in the field of IT technologies in the region.  The Digital Bridge forum will be held in the Kazakh capital on October 12-13, traditionally with the participation of Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev. The event is expected to bring together the best international and domestic industry experts, venture capitalists, leaders of global IT companies and talented startup developers. The latter will have a unique opportunity to declare themselves, meet representatives of large and medium-sized businesses and state corporations as well as discuss potential cooperation at a special Pitching Zone. The Digital Bridge forum is organized by the Kazakh Ministry of Digital Development, Innovations and Aerospace Industry, the Astana mayor’s office and the Astana Hub International Technopark.

“This year, the main theme of the forum is the right balance between artificial and human intelligence. As last year, at least 20,000 visitors are expected to attend the event, including President Tokayev, members of the government, national companies, venture capitalists, startup developers and IT companies. The exhibition will feature more than 200 projects. It will be very interesting to get acquainted with them, get some inspiration as well as attend panel discussions and masterclasses with the participation of speakers from over 25 countries. For the first time in Kazakhstan, the Google for Startups forum, featuring top managers of the world’s leading companies, will be held as part of the Digital Bridge forum,” said Magzhan Madiyev, CEO of Astana Hub International Technopark of IT startups.
