Aptly occurring during the 25th anniversary of its name change to Astana – the City of the Future, the event is being attended by H.E. The President of Kazakhstan, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, alongside many other esteemed guests, including Minister of Digital Development, Bagdat Mussin; and mayors of major cities in Europe and Central Asia. Over the two days, participants at the forum will visit Astana International Financial Center, IT and startup center Astana Hub in Technology Park, the National Museum of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Project Institute of City Construction, and Astana Opera to hold conversations around the challenges and opportunities of smart cities in the region.
