NRK is scaling its IT center network: the 13th digital hub has opened in the Aiyrtau District

The Digital Aimaq project has entered the final stages of implementation in the region. The innovative BotAi CREATIVE IT CENTER, which combines the archaeological heritage of the Botai culture with cutting-edge technologies, has opened in the village of Saumalkol.

The new BotAi CREATIVE IT CENTER boasts a unique concept and operates in collaboration with the Botai Republican Museum-Reserve. The center's infrastructure includes:

• Robotics and UAV control zones;

• GameDev (game development) and media production studios;

• Esports venue and coworking space;

• IT classes for programming training.

According to the instructions of the regional akim, the centers are focused on specific KPIs, the creation of new employment opportunities, and the introduction of AI into the real sector. For the Aiyrtau district, which boasts significant tourism potential, the IT center will become a hub for the digitalization of tourism and security services.

The North Kazakhstan region's experience is already being hailed as a pilot project for the entire country.

As part of the center's opening, several memorandums have already been signed on the implementation of drone technology and the development of digital competencies among the district's civil servants and entrepreneurs.
