Can Kazakhstan’s Silicon Valley Effort Succeed?
The country is making a big effort to develop its IT sector.

In early June 2015, Kazakhstan news agency Today.kz announced that information technology giants, General Electric, Samsung, and Microsoft would be among six
high-tech companies joining Kazakhstan’s much anticipated Science Park Astana
Business Campus at Nazarbayev University.

The center at Nazarbayev University is meant to serve as an “intellectual innovation
cluster.” Ninety companies are expected to participate, although memorandums have
to date only been signed with six technology giants: General Electric, Microsoft, Intel, Hewlett Packard, Samsung, and Huawei. The center is another step forward in the development of Kazakhstan’s technology sector, and reflects a commitment to
developing its non-energy sectors and becoming a leader in research and ideas.
