Applications are now open for the new cohort of the AlchemistX & Silicon Valley Residency Program

Astana Hub, together with IT Park Uzbekistan, Silkroad Innovation Hub, and Alchemist Accelerator, supported by the ministries of digitalization and venture funds of Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, announces the launch of the second cohort of the AlchemistX & Silicon Valley Residency Program. The program provides startups from Central Eurasia with the opportunity to accelerate their entry into the US market and establish partnerships with leading players in the global technology industry.

Applications are accepted until July 11, 2025 here.

Participants will enjoy a four-month immersion into the ecosystem of one of the world's leading innovation hubs: individual mentoring from venture partners, participation in specialized events, practical sessions on entering the US market, and a final Demo Day in front of investors.

Participation in the program requires founders' physical presence in the US, proficiency in English at a working level, and registration of the startup in Kazakhstan or Uzbekistan, including residency in Astana Hub, IFCA, or IT Park Uzbekistan. This year, startups from Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan can participate in the AlchemistX program, while the Silicon Valley Residency is also open to projects from other Central Eurasian countries that have passed the competitive selection process.
