Over the 8 years since its founding, the Astana Hub technology hub has brought together 2,700 companies, including 560 with foreign participation. This was stated by Magzhan Madiyev, CEO of Astana Hub.
Since 2019, the total revenue of ecosystem participants has reached $6.7 billion, IT services exports amounted to $2.4 billion, and startups have attracted more than $2 billion in investments.
Astana Hub is developing the technology ecosystem in Kazakhstan. The cluster includes 20 regional IT hubs, which have hosted more than 5.2 thousand events.
The hub supports a number of important educational and startup initiatives, including Startup Orda, G-Ton, and Smart City Accelerator. Thanks to this, a new generation of IT specialists is being formed — from schoolchildren to university students.
In 2026, Astana Hub, together with the Akimat of Almaty, launched the Central Eurasian Market Entry acceleration program at Almaty Hub, aimed at supporting startups entering Central Asian markets.
Important applied tasks are solved at Astana Hub. This year, 385 tasks were posted on the platform, and more than 3 thousand proposals were submitted to solve them. This format of interaction between government agencies, business, and IT teams has proven to be the most effective.
The technology hub also invests in promising projects. More than 90 startups have received funding, including Higgsfield, Mirai Tech, Perceptis, PanDev Metrics, Luwo, Admyra, Resti, and Scano.
The press service of the Ministry of AI and Digital Development of Kazakhstan emphasized that in recent years, Astana Hub has turned into a major platform for innovation development. It opens up access to international markets for startups.
