Yes, formally. Network School signed a five-year memorandum of understanding with Kazakhstan's Ministry of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Development; it was signed by Balaji Srinivasan and Zhaslan Madiyev, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of AI and Digital Development. The memorandum covers AI education, research, technology entrepreneurship and international talent programmes, and commits both sides to organising conferences, forums and hackathons. Its partners in Kazakhstan include alem.ai, Astana Hub, the Astana International Financial Centre (AIFC), Superteam Kazakhstan, the Alatau City Authority and the Aqmola region. A memorandum is a framework for cooperation. It doesn't guarantee you anything as a member, so confirm any promise about visas or company setup for your own case.
