The Ministry of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Development has initiated efforts to establish lasting conditions for the growth of technology entrepreneurship in the country.

As part of its digital economic transformation strategy, the Ministry is developing a post-2028 support framework for Astana Hub participants, with a planning horizon extending to 2045.

The initiative aims to create a predictable and competitive business environment that will strengthen Kazakhstan's position as a leading regional IT hub. The long-term vision for sector development through 2045 takes into account global AI trends, the scalability of export potential, and the need to attract high-technology investment.

Astana Hub has demonstrated its effectiveness as a driver of the digital economy. Accordingly, the Ministry's objective is not merely to sustain existing momentum, but to achieve a qualitative leap - building conditions under which every IT company operating in Kazakhstan can plan with decades-long confidence.

To date, the Astana Hub ecosystem has recorded steady growth: 2,268 companies are registered within the hub, 35,000 highly skilled jobs have been created, 438 billion tenge in investment has been attracted, and the export volume of Kazakhstani IT solutions has reached USD 1.9 billion.

The Ministry of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Development is currently conducting systematic analytical and advisory work alongside expert community representatives and relevant government agencies, focused on reviewing and adapting existing support mechanisms. Priority is placed on cultivating a distinctive environment for innovators, developing human capital, and advancing AI-driven solutions.

The development of a long-term strategy for Astana Hub represents a priority direction of state policy, aimed at positioning Kazakhstan among the world's most attractive jurisdictions for technology business.
