Mikhail Lomtadze, head and co-founder of Kaspi.kz: “When you create a technology, the first thing you should always ask yourself is not “What cool technology have I made?”, but “How will this technology change the lives of other people?” Technologies should be created not for the sake of technology, but for the sake of people. And the values ​​of the person himself are also very important - the ability to distinguish between what is good and what is bad, and to use technology to improve the lives of others. The future of the country depends on the success of young talented guys. We really want to support those who are constantly learning, developing, becoming an example for others, and meeting equally talented guys from all over the world. This is the future."

Ulugbek Osmanov and Zhanibek Kasymkhan, bronze medalists of IOAI 2026 Bagdat Musin, President of the Sports Programming Federation of Kazakhstan: “Today, technology giants such as Kaspi think not only about themselves. The company has created a large fintech and e-commerce platform, but it needs to be further developed

the entire market, the entire industry. Therefore, business participation and support of such events is a responsibility to society. Thanks to this, the industry is developing, new startups and new ideas are emerging - not only in Kazakhstan, but throughout the world, including thanks to Kazakh schoolchildren and youth.” IOAI 2026 has become not only a competition, but also a meeting place for talented schoolchildren, scientists, developers and experts from different countries. Here they discussed new research, exchanged knowledge and ideas, and made professional connections. For young participants, this is an opportunity to become part of an international community of people passionate about technology and its future. Anuar Aimoldin, member of the IOAI International Scientific Committee: “I think that companies that think about tomorrow participate in these types of events because they are closest to research. This is, firstly, an opportunity to appear on the radar of the strongest talents from around the world, and secondly, to contribute to the development of global artificial intelligence.” It was possible to hold an international Olympiad of this scale in Kazakhstan in a very short time. The preparation took only four months. Elena Marinova, co-founder and p

Chairman of the International Council of IOAI: “As soon as the decision was made to hold the Olympics in Kazakhstan, local companies immediately began to provide support. The response was incredibly fast. Kazakhstan managed to organize this Olympics in just four months. It's really impressive."
