Digital card of business presented in the MNE 14.10.2025
The digital card of business was presented at the Ministry of National Economy at a meeting chaired by Deputy Prime Minister – Minister of National Economy Serik Zhumangarin.The digital card of business, developed by NCE «Atameken», is a modern information and analytical platform with dashboards, predictive models, and transparent statistics. It will allow for the formation of an up-to-date picture of entrepreneurship development, assess the effectiveness of support measures, analyze investment activity, and provide state bodies with the necessary tools for making informed decisions.According to the chairman of the presidium of NCE «Atameken» Raimbek Batalov, the new system will be integrated with state and departmental databases, which will ensure an objective analysis of the state of entrepreneurship in the country. The project is being implemented within the framework of the National Development Plan until 2029 and is fully funded by NCE «Atameken».For business, the DCB provides access to data on state support measures, regional priorities and their specialization, the implementation of investment projects, mandatory requirements by type of activity, as well as on product demand. Such information will help entrepreneurs plan their development, find new niches, and build effective strategies.For the state, the digital card will become a tool for monitoring priority industries and the implementation of investment projects, a system for analyzing supply and demand, a source for an objective assessment of the business climate and the effectiveness of state support, as well as a means of controlling the counter-obligations of business.Today, small and medium-sized businesses provide about 40% of GDP and almost half of the country's employment, and the DCB should contribute to the further growth of these indicators through accurate analytics and systemic interaction between the state and entrepreneurs.Currently, NCE «Atameken», together with state bodies, is working on the implementation of the Digital Card of Business on the QazTech platform.
