Almaty Will Become the IT Hub of the World: Kazakhstan Will Host GITEX Forum in May 2026
On May 4–5, Almaty will host a major technological event — GITEX AI Central Asia & Caucasus. The world’s largest network of IT events has chosen Kazakhstan as a new venue, confirming the city’s status as the leading business and innovation hub of the region.
Hosting a forum of this scale is a strategic step for Kazakhstan. Today, Almaty concentrates 50% of the country’s venture capital and is home to more than 1,500 startups. GITEX will serve as a bridge between local talent and global markets, including investors from the UAE, Germany, Singapore, and Türkiye.
Key focus areas of the event:
• Artificial Intelligence: implementation of neural networks in industry and public administration.
• Digital Infrastructure: development of cloud technologies and data centers.
• Fintech and Startups: attracting direct investment into new projects.
What are the benefits for participants?
For IT professionals and businesses, this is a unique opportunity to gain direct access to international experts and venture funds. The forum will shorten the path from idea to implementation by providing a platform for networking with industry leaders. According to the organizers, the goal of the event is not just to gather experts, but to create real tools for boosting productivity and exporting technologies.
Almaty is becoming a regional “anchor” connecting Central Asia and the Caucasus to the global digital ecosystem.
