In his Address this year, President
Kassym-Jomart Tokayev announced an initiative that will mark a new stage in the
history of our country's development. This is the Alatau City project. The Head
of State noted that the new city will become the country's business and
innovation center.
The President gave a specific task: within ten
days, a draft Decree on granting the city a special status will be prepared,
and within six months, a separate law "On Alatau City" will be
adopted. The document will provide for the city's management regime, financial
model, guarantees for investors, and socio-economic mechanisms for residents.
This initiative is based on international
experience. Cities with special status in the world have become the main
centers for attracting investment and technology. Shenzhen, Singapore, Dubai
are vivid examples of this. On September 2, an agreement was signed between
Kazakhstan and China in Beijing. This document was signed by the National
Investment Corporation, Caspian Group JSC and the Chinese construction giant company CSCEC International
Construction Corporation Ltd.
Alatau City will be built at the expense of
private investments. We have created a pool of foreign investors. The USA,
South Korea, Singapore, and the Middle East are also interested in this
project. A road show will be held in Seoul in October. Such giant corporations
as Hyundai, Samsung, and Lotte will participate in it. The digital city is the
image of the future.
The new city, which will be built in the Almaty
agglomeration, will be the first fully digital city in Central Asia. It will
introduce Smart City technologies, will enable payments via cryptocurrency, and
will use management systems based on artificial intelligence. These steps will
lay a solid foundation for the development of the new city as a digital
ecosystem.
When the project is launched, thousands of new
jobs will be created, the IT and high-tech industry will gain momentum, and
foreign investment will increase. At the same time, the new city will offer
young people modern opportunities for education and work, and create a new
urban culture.
The initiatives outlined in the Address by
President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev are a historic step that paves the way for a
new stage in the country's development. In particular, the decision to
implement the Alatau City project is an important initiative aimed at
increasing the country's innovative potential and raising the country to new
heights at the international level.
We are grateful for the bold and strategic
steps of the Head of State. These initiatives will make our country a leader in
the digital era, create new jobs, and guide young people to education and
entrepreneurship. We believe that under the confident leadership of our
President, the future of our country will be bright. Alatau City will be a
symbol of the nation's entry into a new era.

Chairman of the Board of Directors of Caspian
