Kazakhstan launches digital platform for creative industries

Kazakhstan has launched Qazaq Creative, a new digital platform connecting professionals across the country’s creative industries. More than 700 users from all regions of the country have already joined the platform. It serves as a one-stop hub where creators can showcase their portfolios and projects. The platform also provides information on government support, grants, investment opportunities, educational and accelerator programs. According to the Creative Industries Development Fund, Qazaq Creative will help creators attract funding and promote their ideas. For example, emerging musicians can receive support to produce and release their original music.

«First, creators can come to us, and we can advise them on where to do their post-production. Second, they can receive funding to help complete their projects. And if they don’t have a way to release their music but want it available across all major streaming platforms, the Fund has its own record label that can help with distribution,» said Almas Sagynuly, Deputy Chairman of the Creative Industries Development Fund.
