This partnership sees Presight as a key venture partner and accelerator of Astana Hub, alongside Google, and Binance, extending our drive to bring innovative technologies into our portfolio.

Presight will work alongside Astana Hub to introduce a series of programs and access to industry experts to elevate startups’ ideas and scale up their businesses.

Our deep expertise in big data analytics that are powered by AI will help startups from Astana Hub position themselves to create real-world impact. Our venture support will catalyze innovation and bring ground-breaking research to new markets, especially in CIS countries.”

Magzhan Madiyev said: “In light of this new agreement with Presight, our startups will have access to a new source of venture financing.
