An Opening Day of the joint Astana Hub and Google for Startups program was held at Astana Hub for the 15 best startups from Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan, and Mongolia.

The meeting traditionally began with a tour of the technopark, where Magzhan Madiev, CEO of Astana Hub, spoke about the hub's activities and current performance metrics, as well as the support measures available for startups. Trackers and participants from the first and second cohorts also took part in the Opening Day, sharing their impressions, discoveries, and achievements.

As a result of four selection stages, 15 top startups were chosen to participate in the prestigious accelerator: ApartX, Bilimber, BILLZ, Cody, EZapp, Garderob, Kid Security, Kwaaka, Let's Codify, Proportunity.kz, ProsperPay, Squares, TASS VISION, TrustContract, and Voiceloft.

The third cohort of the Silkway Accelerator program is also being conducted in an offline format in Astana and will last for three months. In addition to mentoring, participants received free accommodation near Astana Hub.
