Kazakhstan's President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev held a meeting with NVIDIA Vice President for Global AI Infrastructure Development Nicolo Martin Caprezza, as well as with Firebird AI co-founders Razmig Hovakimyan and Alexander Esayan. The parties discussed prospects for cooperation in the design, construction, and operation of artificial intelligence infrastructure.
Tokayev noted that Kazakhstan plans to become a fully digital country within the next three years. The launch of supercomputer clusters based on NVIDIA technologies is considered an important step towards strengthening technological sovereignty. The President spoke about the “Valley of Data Centers” project in Ekibastuz, which provides for the creation of a large computing infrastructure with affordable electricity, a developed telecommunications network, and tax incentives.
Representatives of Nvidia and Firebird AI reported that they are implementing a similar project in Armenia. Following the meeting, the parties agreed to explore opportunities for joint work on the development of a regional artificial intelligence ecosystem.
