A digital forum titled Digital Qazaqstan will take place in Shymkent.

In 2026, the international platform Digital Almaty will transform into the republican forum Digital Qazaqstan — a national platform focused on practical digital and AI-driven transformation of the economy and the development of the country's regions.

The new format of the forum reflects Kazakhstan's strategic course toward building a sustainable digital economy, integrating artificial intelligence into key industries, and strengthening the role of regions in technological development. Digital Qazaqstan is conceived as a republican forum that will sequentially take place in different cities across Kazakhstan, ensuring direct integration of digital solutions and AI technologies into the real sector of the economy, public administration, and the social sphere.

The key theme of the Digital Qazaqstan 2026 forum will be the new industrial era — Industry 5.0: The Power of Interaction. The concept of Industry 5.0 focuses on the harmonious interaction between humans and technology, where artificial intelligence, data, and robotics become tools for enhancing productivity, sustainable development, and human potential.

The forum will bring together representatives of government agencies, business, international corporations, investors, technology companies, startups, and the expert community to discuss and demonstrate practical scenarios for implementing digital and AI solutions in industry, public administration, and regional development.
