The future of global innovation should be inextricably linked to the contributions of Kazakh scientists. Innovations have emerged as a catalyst for societal and economic progress in Kazakhstan, positioning technology as a core element of the nation’s identity. Cities such as Almaty and Astana are already recognized as hubs for startups, fintech centers, and special economic zones, which foster an environment conducive to business efficiency.
At the heart of these advancements lies the importance of education, training, and scientific inquiry, particularly in fundamental research. The cultivation of young scientists is essential for national development and international competitiveness. Therefore, it is imperative to promote education, training, science, and research. The leadership and professional skills of young individuals must be nurtured through advanced training scholarships, research funding, and various initiatives. Supporting promising research projects is vital, as financial assistance is especially crucial at the inception of a scientific career.
In addition to science and technology, art and culture hold significant value in our lives. Kazakhstan boasts a rich heritage encompassing literature, music, art, and creativity. This cultural legacy should not only resonate with Kazakhs but also be showcased to the global community, highlighting the diversity of Kazakhstan. The nation is home to a myriad of artistic talents, including musicians, writers, visual artists, and intellectuals, whose voices deserve to be amplified. Elevating these talents and fostering their development is a central mission of this foundation.
A primary focus of the foundation is the promotion of young artists. Enhancing educational opportunities for artists aspiring to engage internationally with Kazakh art is essential. To this end, we provide support for student exhibition projects and the production of intricate works of art. Collaborating with universities and academies, we aim to advance training programs, procure adequate technical equipment, and facilitate effective marketing strategies.
To comprehensively address and represent the fields of art, culture, science, healthcare, education, and technology, the board of this non-profit foundation will comprise individuals with expertise, networks, and reputations in these areas. This collective will work to support Kazakh talents on their journeys to become ambassadors of Kazakh culture, science, and technology. The board will extend support to scientists, artists, and other talented individuals, regardless of age, as well as to other non-profit organizations. The foundation will be incorporated in the United States and will operate in Kazakhstan, the CIS (excluding Russia and Belarus), and globally (including the USA, EU, and other countries).
