The founder and CEO of NVIDIA, Jensen Huang, will come to Kazakhstan for the first time as a special guest of the AI Month event in Astana. This was reported by Kapital.kz business information agency, referring to the press service of the Ministry of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Development. According to the Ministry, Jensen Huang is coming to Kazakhstan at the invitation of Deputy Prime Minister of the Republic of Kazakhstan - Minister of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Development Zhaslan Madiyev. The visit of the distinguished guest will take place within the framework of "AI Month", a series of events in the field of artificial intelligence, which will be supported by Astana Hub and will bring together AI experts, developers, startups, researchers and representatives of the technology industry. "Today, the competitiveness of countries is measured not only by the use of technologies, but also by the ability to make their own decisions and train world-class specialists. We intend to turn Kazakhstan into a center of attraction for AI-talents in Central Eurasia - a place where advanced ideas get expert support, strong partnerships are formed, and the way to enter the global market is opened. Exchange ideas with industry leaders like Jensen
will give developers a great impetus to understand the scope of opportunities and turn their technological ambitions into a real product", - noted Deputy Prime Minister of the Republic of Kazakhstan - Minister of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Development Zhaslan Madiyev. AI Month event kicks off on September 23 with the HackAlem AI competition, one of the world's largest AI hackathons, where participants can use NVIDIA's technological resources to create and test their own AI solutions. In addition, a meeting of the Council for the Development of Artificial Intelligence is planned in the "AI Month" program. Rev.

And on October 2-3, the international technological forum "AI & Digital Bridge 2026" and a number of other events dedicated to artificial intelligence and digital technologies will be held. The relationship between Kazakhstan's technological ecosystem and the global AI industry is not limited to the AI Month program. A clear example of this is the $5.4 billion Higgsfield platform for creating video and images using artificial intelligence. This company, which is a participant of Astana Hub, has its own platform
form generates more than six million videos and images every day using NVIDIA's computing infrastructure and AI software. In addition, Higgsfield has established close ties with Kazakhstan and Astana's technology community, and actively cooperates with Astana Hub to support the technology ecosystem in the region. As part of the Year of Digitization and Artificial Intelligence, Kazakhstan is systematically developing the national AI-ecosystem. This large-scale work covers all directions from training specialists and supporting technological entrepreneurship to the development of AI-solutions and the creation of the necessary infrastructure for their introduction into production.
