The AI'preneurs acceleration program, aimed at developing startups in the field of artificial intelligence, received 250 applications, from which 50 talented specialists—developers, engineers, managers, and entrepreneurs—were selected to participate. The participants created 21 startups, 9 of which successfully completed the acceleration program, and the top 7 teams received funding under the Seed Money program.

AI’preneurs is an acceleration program by Astana Hub, where top specialists from various fields come together to form a team and develop an AI startup.
