Evidence snapshot for Astana
Astana is home to Astana Hub, Kazakhstan's government-backed international technopark for IT startups, which by end-2024 had grown to 1,600 registered resident companies (including 425+ with foreign participation) that generated $1.3 billion in total revenue, $481.5 million in IT-service exports, and attracted $177 million in investment, while creating 28,000 new tech-sector jobs since inception. The city also hosts courts that participated in Kazakhstan's AI case-outcome analytics pilot, where settlement rates reportedly exceeded the national average once parties could access precedent before hearings. Additionally, Astana is the location where Nazarbayev University's NURIS Innovation Cluster is partnering with UNICEF to develop open-source AI resources for education.
