Innovative IT projects in 10 regions of the country have received support.

The International Technology Park for IT Startups Astana Hub has completed the Startup Orda program for the development of regional IT entrepreneurs.

The final event of the program was the Demo Day project competition, which awarded monetary grants with a total prize fund of 5 million tenge. Over the course of two months, the startup incubator operated in 10 cities: Aktobe, Aktau, Kostanay, Uralsk, Pavlodar, Taraz, Kyzylorda, Petropavlovsk, Taldykorgan, and Semey.

More than 7,000 applications were submitted nationwide to participate in Startup Orda. During the program, 285 events were organized, with active participation from approximately 10,000 individuals interested in the development of IT in the regions.

200 teams reached the Demo Day finals, where they presented their IT ideas.

100 of them were recognized as the best, based on the potential for future project performance, the impact of their ideas, or their positive effect on addressing problems in their regions of operation.

In addition to monetary prizes, the winners gained access to educational programs at the capital's technology park and the opportunity to continue their development in the field of startups and innovations.

Among the notable projects is QarapaiymEmdeu from Aktau. Its full-fledged humanoid therapeutic robot, SenimPlus, combines artificial intelligence and mechanics, designed to relieve the workload of general practitioners and identify sick patients.

The startup Qauipsiz from Taraz addressed the issue of safety. It features a compact sensor device that promptly alerts users via phone call in the event of gas leaks or fire.

Activists from Taldykorgan, with the project See The Future, focused on assisting people with visual impairments. The young team's finished product involves creating a device ecosystem consisting of a neural network, a camera with a Lidar sensor (Real Sense), headphones, and a mobile application.

Participants received additional consultations on marketing, intellectual property protection, and government support measures for startups.
