September 4th marked the dawn of a new era in Almaty's smart city development! On this date, the Smart City Accelerator was launched — a program that not only "accelerates" startups but also reshapes the city's future.

🔍 From a plenty of applicants, 29 startups have been granted a unique opportunity to showcase their revolutionary ideas in three domains:

📗 Transport: Yes, we have solutions to make your city commute faster, smarter, and more eco-friendly!

📘 Ecology with an ESG focus: Our mission is to build a city where you can breathe, live, and flourish.

📙 Creative Industry: Design and technologies that enhance city life for all of us.

9 weeks of intensive work await: world-class experts, hands-on workshops, mentoring sessions, and deep dives into each area. All this is made possible through a partnership with the "MOST" Business Intelligence, Kazakh-German University (DKU), the Akimat of Almaty, and the Almaty Digitalization Department.

And yes, the ecological direction of the accelerator continues the mission of DKU programs such as 🍃 the International Green Business School “Eco-Talk” and 🌏Kazakhstan ClimAccelerator in partnership with EIT Climate-KIC.

Each participant will contribute to transforming Almaty. Wishing them success on this journey! And, of course, stay tuned with us to be the first to know about all the innovations.
