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

Tokayev, members of the government, national companies, venture capitalists,
startup developers and IT companies. The exhibition will feature more than 200
