Almost 30 AI startups presented at Opening Day in Astana
Projects cover key areas of urban life
The presentation of projects by participants of the third cohort of the Astana Innovations Accelerator took place at the Alem.AI International Center in Astana. 29 startups participated, reported the press service of the Ministry of Industry and Digital Development of Kazakhstan.
The projects cover key areas of urban life – transport and mobility, public safety, healthcare, education, ecology, tourism, urban infrastructure, business services, and assistive technologies.
Thanks to the Astana Innovations Accelerator, developers can test their solutions, work with experts, and find investors. For example, the accelerator included developers of ParkKing (a service for finding free parking spaces in real-time), TrafficData (a platform for analyzing traffic flows and digitizing road infrastructure), and other AI solutions.
Maksat Koshumbayev, Regional Director of Presight AI in Kazakhstan, stated that accelerator participants will gain access to Presight's international expertise. The R&D LabPresight – a platform for testing advanced AI solutions – will also be in demand, he added.
The best teams will showcase their developments in partner acceleration programs in China, the USA, and the UAE. This will open up access to new markets for them.
