These Kazakh startups are gearing up to dive into corporate innovation waters and beyond

“If the government is for us, who can be against us?” Such is probably the case for the thriving startup ecosystem in Kazakhstan, what with the national government at the forefront of its growth. The mission has always been to give Kazakh startups a fighting chance to develop their products and launch internationally. To this end, several programmes have been set up to connect the local startups with global corporations that are ready to accelerate their innovation.

In 2017, Smart Zholy joined the throng of Kazakh programmes established to open doors for the local startups or tech groups. It was initiated by the Foundation of the First President and is carried out in partnership with e27’s Echelon Asia Summit. Since its inception, Smart Zholy has been tireless in its efforts to fulfill its mission, ushering promising Kazakh startups to its neighboring region, Southeast Asia. Their efforts have surely paid off, as some of these tech solutions have already attracted investors and private companies from Singapore over the years.

They’ve already implemented their solutions in 8 companies across several industries.
6. CMC Tech – Remote decoding of ECG. This solution utilises AI to optimise the ECG process. First, an ECG device obtains a digital signal, then Machine Learning Technology calculates the perimeters and provides preliminary interpretation. The results can be validated remotely through the cloud based platform.
7. Magic.Ai – An upcoming IT solution developed by an IT team. Their key feature is identifying the quality of fruits and vegetables. Machine Learning Technologies are utilised to aid the identification. 
8. Microsec – Cybersecurity across all devices. In this technological age, cybersecurity has become a key concern. Businesses thrive on data but must also ensure that it is secure. Microsec thrives on IoT solutions, ensuring a safe and secure system for businesses.

Moving beyond collaboration

Apart from opportunities to co-create solutions with matching corporates, these twelve startups are also taking a deep dive into the trends, challenges, and opportunities in the Southeast Asia ecosystem. This is accomplished by participating in a private four-part webinar series organised by e27 and paneled by seasoned subject experts in the industry.

Coming out on the other side, not only do these innovators have the best digital solutions ready, they also have the proper skills and mindset to launch their innovation in Southeast Asia.
