Kazakhstan, especially His Excellency the President’s vision of 2026 as the

the ambition of the country, the know-how, the talent here is world-class. You’re
building a new capacity for technology; you’re supporting the dreams of
technology companies and startups that can start really building things that
are cutting edge. It’s a momentous opportunity, launching it in 2027 puts
Kazakhstan as one of the top 10 countries in the world,» Hovaghimian said.
