Three innovative startups from Kazakhstan—Parqour, Aidentis, and TrustExam.ai—have been accepted into the prestigious StartX Summer Boot Camp, a program affiliated with Stanford University. Chosen from over 240 international applicants, their selection marks a milestone for Kazakhstan’s growing startup ecosystem, DKnews.kz reports.
This achievement was made possible through the Platinum Agreement signed on September 16, 2022, between StartX and Astana Business Campus (ABC), a subsidiary of the Nazarbayev University Social Development Fund. As StartX’s official partner in Central Asia, the ABC team played a key role in organizing the regional selection process, offering mentoring, strategic guidance, and analytical support to help local startups meet the accelerator’s high standards.
