Kazakhstan has created a technological ecosystem that generates startups valued at $1 billion and even $10 billion at rates comparable to leading global technological ecosystems, including those in the United States and China.
Speaking at the international forum Digital Almaty 2025, Yoram Wijnhaarde emphasized the importance of new ecosystems and the opportunities they open up for the global market. The United States and Europe remain leaders in the number of startups, while Asian countries are demonstrating high growth rates. Kazakhstan already accounts for 15-20% of all global venture capital invested in Central Asia.
As part of the work by Dealroom.co, 101 startups in Kazakhstan have already been analyzed, marking the beginning of regional study. Wijnhaarde expressed confidence that over the next year, thanks to strengthened cooperation with the international technology park Astana Hub, the database will significantly expand, allowing for a more accurate assessment of the opportunities and trends in Kazakhstan's startup ecosystem.
The integration of Kazakhstan's ecosystem into the Dealroom.co platform is of strategic importance, opening access to international investments and partnerships. This will help Kazakh startups attract capital, accelerate their entry into global markets, and strengthen the country's position on the world map of innovations.
