Kazakhstan to launch second supercomputer cluster in Astana
New computing hub and AI research centers unveiled at Digital Bridge 2025 as country accelerates digital transformation
ASTANA, Kazakhstan (MNTV) — Kazakhstan announced new steps to accelerate its artificial intelligence strategy, unveiling an international AI research hub, a second supercomputer cluster, and a wider innovation ecosystem aimed at connecting the country with global technology networks.
According to the state-run Kazinform News Agency, the announcements came during the Digital Bridge 2025 International Tech Forum in Astana, where policymakers, researchers, and industry leaders gathered to map out the country’s digital transformation.
Central to the rollout is Alem.ai, an International Artificial Intelligence Center described as a “factory of ideas and innovation.” The hub is expected to operate as both a research platform and a commercial incubator, linking universities with technology firms and ensuring ethical development of AI.
Officials say the new facility will serve as a global meeting point where advanced technologies can be tested and adapted across different industries.
The forum also marked the creation of Kazakhstan’s first AI Research Center, designed to coordinate long-term studies and training programs in machine learning, data science, and human capital development.
Organizers highlighted that the initiative reflects growing demand for skilled experts in the region as AI becomes a core driver of economic competitiveness.
In addition, a second national supercomputer cluster is planned in Astana, expanding computing capacity for AI research, simulations, and big data analysis. Experts note that the investment places Kazakhstan among a small group of countries in Central Asia pursuing large-scale computational infrastructure to support future industries.
Kazakhstan has positioned digitalization as a pillar of its economic policy, with initiatives ranging from e-government platforms to fintech innovation.
Observers say the latest AI-focused projects signal an ambition not only to modernize domestic systems but also to place the country within broader global conversations on technology, ethics, and governance.
