Kazakhstani startups are presenting their innovative developments at the Startup Alley of the international digital forum Digital Qazaqstan 2026. Participation in such events opens new opportunities for startups to scale, attract investment, and enter international markets.
The Startup Alley is the forum's key platform where young companies have the opportunity to present their ideas to thousands of participants, including investors, experts, and business representatives. Among the projects on display are Astana Hub members developing solutions in EdTech, MedTech, cybersecurity, industrial technologies, digital media, and business process automation.
"Digital Qazaqstan is the key platform for developing the country's technology and startup ecosystem, bringing together the state, corporations, and technology companies around the practical challenges of large-scale AI transformation. At the forum, we plan to showcase our flagship development — the largest ASR model for Turkic languages, built to account for the specifics of natural speech and regional linguistic contexts. This technology, developed in strategic partnership with Astana Hub, already enables companies today to build high-quality, scalable customer engagement in the national language, drawing on domestic AI solutions," noted Daniyar Omurzakov, Managing Partner for the Central Asia macroregion of Cybernet AI.
Cybernet AI is developing a secure platform for creating voice AI agents and automating customer communications, targeting large corporate segments including banks, fintech, and telecoms. The company's solutions handle both inbound and outbound calls, conduct full-scale dialogues with customers, and efficiently resolve tasks within a single interaction — from sales to customer support and debt collection. The platform is built on proprietary speech recognition technology adapted for Turkic languages and real-world communication scenarios. Today, Cybernet AI works with more than 80 companies across various countries, and the startup's revenue for 2025 exceeded $5 million.
