Kazakhstan Makes Global Waves with Breakthrough Tech at Minsk Expo

Kazakhstan has unveiled a series of groundbreaking technological innovations at the international INNOPROM.Belarus exhibition held in Minsk, with several of the showcased projects developed by students and researchers from Nazarbayev University.

Leading the Kazakhstani delegation, Prime Minister Olzhas Bektenov presented the startups, highlighting their alignment with the President’s strategic agenda to digitize key sectors such as education, industry, sports, and healthcare, The Caspian Post reports via Kazakh media.

Among the standout innovations was Mirai Tech, an AI-powered platform for diagnosing and preventing sports injuries. The system uses sensors embedded in athletic equipment to capture over 20,000 motion parameters. These are then analyzed by AI algorithms to predict injury risks and provide tailored recommendations.

"In just two minutes, the system gathers massive amounts of data and identifies hidden risks," said Azamat Yeszhanov, Chief Operating Officer at Mirai Tech LLP.

Another highlight was Game of Drones, a remote-control platform enabling internet-based operation of drones and heavy machinery. With potential applications in agriculture, gaming, and remote operator training, the platform is unique on the global market. Its founder, Abylaikhan Zhakhanov, emphasized that no similar product currently exists worldwide.

The Railcar Management Platform, already in use across Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan, and Russia, was also featured. The system digitally manages more than 100,000 railcars, integrates logistics processes, and leverages AI for optimized planning and routing.

Kazakhstan also introduced Artisan Education, an AI-enabled Learning Management System (LMS) designed especially for schools and colleges in rural areas. The platform aims to ensure equal access to education and provides intelligent tools to support student learning.

In the realm of sustainability, Kazakhstan received international acclaim for its Energy-Saving Technology, which ranked among the top six global green innovations out of 600 international entries.

Zhanat Zhussupov, head of the project, credited Kazakhstan’s effective regulatory environment for notable improvements in production efficiency, including reduced metal melting times-from 45 to 26 minutes in Serbia, and from 120 to 65 minutes in China.

The exhibition appearance follows the Head of State’s recent visit to a digital technology showcase in Astana, underscoring the government’s continued commitment to fostering innovation and technological development.
