As technology advances, low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites are becoming a crucial tool in providing global internet access. However, their large-scale deployment presents several challenges, including frequency regulation, orbital security, and competition with traditional geostationary (GEO) satellite systems. Speakers emphasized that NGSO systems can significantly enhance connectivity in remote regions, providing low-latency, high-speed internet, making them indispensable in sectors such as telecommunications, transportation, defense, and emergency response. “The development of low-orbit satellites is not just a technological trend but a fundamental step towards closing the digital divide. Today, we are not only discussing advancements in the telecom industry but also expanding access to education, healthcare, and business opportunities in the world’s most remote regions,” said Vasiliy Leonov, Deputy Chairman of the Board of the Republican Center of Space Communications JSC. One of the key issues discussed was the environmental sustainability of satellite systems. Currently, thousands of operational satellites are in orbit, and their numbers are expected to grow. Experts warn that without a well-thought-out disposal system and proper deorbiting strategies, the risk of space debris accumulation increases, which could jeopardize the operation of other satellites. “We are at a critical juncture: if we do not take measures to control satellite constellations, orbits could turn into chaos, where collisions become a reality,” emphasized Lokman Kuzu, Executive Vice President of Turkish Aerospace Industry. The discussion also touched upon regulatory frameworks and international cooperation. With increasing competition between key players, including SpaceX, Spacesail, Amazon Kuiper, as well as Chinese and European projects, coordinating orbital and frequency usage is becoming increasingly complex. “We must acknowledge that dozens of operators are currently active in space, and the frequency spectrum is limited. It is essential for governments and international organizations to establish unified rules that allow satellite systems to coexist without mutual interference,” stated Dmitriy Vetlugin, Director of Market Access & Sales, Central Asia at Eutelsat OneWeb. Another significant aspect of the discussion was the commercialization of satellite internet. NGSO systems are unlocking new market opportunities in developing countries and offering solutions for aviation, maritime transport, agriculture, and corporate sectors. “We are moving towards a future where satellite internet will become as accessible as mobile connectivity. The key question is not only how to make it possible but also how to ensure its commercial sustainability,” noted Jie Wan, Vice President of Marketing & Service at Spacesail. Concluding the discussion, forum participants agreed that the future lies in the integration of GEO and NGSO systems. In the coming years, we will witness the development of hybrid solutions, where geostationary satellites will provide high bandwidth capacity, while low-orbit networks will ensure low latency and real-time responsiveness. “We are not talking about replacing one technology with another—the future of satellite communications lies in their complementarity,” concluded Dauren Shaikhin, Chief Corporate Affairs Officer and Board Member of Kcell JSC. The discussion featured prominent experts, including Vasiliy Leonov, Deputy Chairman of the Board of Republican Center of Space Communications JSC (Kazakhstan), Lokman Kuzu, Executive Vice President of Turkish Aerospace Industry (Turkey), Jie Wan, Vice President of Marketing & Service at Spacesail (China), Dmitriy Vetlugin, Director of Market Access & Sales at Eutelsat OneWeb (Central Asia), and Dauren Shaikhin, Chief Corporate Affairs Officer and Board Member at Kcell JSC (Kazakhstan).

One of the first to benefit from the service is the village of Sarybay Bi in the Almaty region. Today, the Minister of Digital Development, Innovations, and Aerospace Industry, Zhaslan Madiyev, personally evaluated the advantages of this new approach to internet access for rural settlements and spoke with the residents of Sarybay Bi. Previously, the residents of Sarybay Bi relied on outdated ADSL technology, which is limited in speed and connection quality. The new approach to building network infrastructure allows for data transmission at speeds of 200-300 Mbps, coverage of large areas, and stable connectivity even with an increasing number of users. A total of 105 homes in the village have already been connected to the new technology and have appreciated its benefits and capabilities. Currently, residents are actively submitting applications for connection. “In my opinion, the main advantage of this technology is stable, high-speed internet without the need for the costly installation of fiber optic networks. This new approach to the digitalization of Kazakhstan’s rural areas has demonstrated its viability and potential on the example of Sarybay Bi. Now, the residents of this village and, I hope, other similar settlements will have the opportunity to use all modern services and online platforms,” said Zhaslan Madiyev, Minister of Digital Development, Innovations, and Aerospace Industry of Kazakhstan. Kazakhtelecom, through its newly established subsidiary "Auyltelecom," plans to implement this solution in other villages across the country based on the results of successful trials. The new technology has already been deployed in 7 villages, covering over 200 households. By 2025, the plan is to connect more than 100 villages, providing modern internet access to over 10,000 rural residents. “We have directed one of our subsidiary organizations to focus on providing high-speed internet in rural areas. Auyltelecom is now working to identify the most optimal technologies and offer village residents access to high-quality internet. Testing in Sarybay Bi has shown that modern wireless technologies, such as FWA, can effectively solve the challenges of high-speed internet access in rural areas,” noted Bagdat Mussin, Chairman of the Board of Kazakhtelecom JSC. Several residents shared their opinions about the new communication technology with the Minister of Digital Development during his working visit to Sarybay Bi. In situations where traditional fiber optic networks are difficult and costly to implement in remote regions, FWA technology provides internet access with minimal infrastructure costs.   Press Service of the Ministry of Digital Development, Innovations,  and Aerospace Industry of Kazakhstan2025-01-17T11:42:21/uploads/2025/1/17/1b6e726f0624cfa7d795c05a0866ec9f_original.459481.jpegbolee-100-sel-poluchat-dostup-k-internetu-po-tehnologii-fwaFalse[mdai] 918834As part of the official visit of the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan to the United Arab Emirates, Zhaslan Madiyev, Minister of Digital Development, Innovation, and Aerospace Industry of Kazakhstan, held a series of meetings dedicated to the development of the digital sector and artificial intelligence (AI).

Также министр поделился личным опытом пересечения с уважаемым космонавтом и рассказал интересный факт о себе: «В детстве мы с Токтаром Аубакировым жили в одном дворе. Когда мы с друзьями играли в футбол, увидев его толпой подбегали поздороваться с нашим национальным героем. Приходя домой к родителям, я всегда говорил, что хочу стать космонавтом как Токтар Аубакиров. Придя в министерство, я оказался в космической отрасли и можно сказать – мечта сбылась». Сегодня, 2 октября 2024 года исполняется 33 года со дня полета в космос первого казахского космонавта Токтара Аубакирова. В составе экипажа он провел неделю на орбитальной станции “Мир” и возвратился 10 октября. За это время осуществил проведение пяти научных экспериментов. За это время, в рамках научной программы на Орбитальном комплексе «Мир» в 1991 году, им было проведено пять космических экспериментов с участием пяти институтов Академии наук КазССР в области космической медицины и биотехнологии, материаловедения, дистанционного зондирования. Во время полета также проводились съемки песчаных бурь Аральского моря и медико-биологические исследования. Специализированные продукты питания и космическая биотехнология подверглись внимательному наблюдению. Было исследовано поведение металлических расплавов в условиях микрогравитации. Все собранные образцы вернулись на Землю, где были тщательно изучены учеными. Таким образом, Казахстан за последние десятилетия добился значительных успехов в области космической деятельности. С момента полета Токтара Аубакирова в 1991 году, страна активно развивает свои возможности в космосе, играя важную роль в международной космической арене. Примером этому является наличие космодрома «Байконур» — крупнейшего космодрома мира. Он является важным стратегическим объектом не только для Казахстана, но и для международных космических программ. Также, Казахстан работает над созданием собственной космической индустрии, в рамках которой реализуются проекты по созданию и запуску своих спутников Дистанционного зондирования Земли и связи, космической техники и технологий. На международной арене Казахстан активно сотрудничает с различными странами и космическими агентствами, такими как Роскосмос, NASA и Европейское космическое агентство (ESA). Байконур продолжает быть важной площадкой для запусков космических миссий, включая миссии на Международную космическую станцию (МКС). В настоящее время Министерством прорабатывается реализация 6-ой научной программы космических исследований и экспериментов на МКС, а также ведутся переговоры с соответсвующими странами по осуществлению полетов 4-го казахстанского космонавта. Эти достижения подтверждают стремление Казахстана стать активным игроком в мировой космической отрасли, и его дальнейшее развитие в этой сфере может открыть новые возможности для науки, технологий и экономики страны.   Пресс-служба МЦРИАП РК2024-10-02T17:00:11/uploads/2024/10/2/d4a586cd06e65d576f1a6a66649fb2d1_original.704391.jpeghotel-stat-kosmonavtom-zhaslan-madiev-pozdravil-toktara-aubakirova-s-dnem-pervogo-poleta-v-kosmosFalse[mdai] 856694Thirty-three years ago, on October 2, 1991, Kazakhstan took a historic step into space.

This year's ministerial conference is dedicated to digital inclusion and transformation at the global level. Our digital government is doing everything possible to ensure that every public service is available to all residents of the country — from villages to megacities. This significantly improves the quality of life of our citizens. For their convenience, we have integrated public services into popular digital platforms that they use in their daily lives», the chairman of the conference summed up Zhaslan Madiyev. On the opening day, ESCAP also launched its Asia-Pacific Digital Transformation Report 2024 which considers how digital transformations will structurally and irreversibly affect the trajectory of climate change. It presents 27 illustrative case studies demonstrating the power of digital applications for smarter climate actions – across infrastructure, governance, mobility, industry and trade, disaster risk reduction, agriculture and biodiversity ecosystems.  The report reveals that as the use of more advanced digital technologies is scaled up, there is a turning point beyond which carbon emissions tend to decline. Furthermore, the increased use of AI-driven geospatial data analytics is improving the accuracy and timeliness of early warning systems, so that the right information reaches the right people at the right time, thus contributing towards climate adaptation and mitigation measures in many countries. Delegates from over 30 countries as well as representatives from the tech industry, start-ups, academia, international organizations, youth, business and civil society are participating in the two-day Conference and its associated events.  The Conference is expected to culminate tomorrow with the adoption of the Astana Ministerial Declaration on Digital Inclusion and Transformation.   The conference participants will have the opportunity to explore a startup alley organized by the largest technology park in Central Asia - Astana Hub. Over 50 of the best Kazakhstan’s startups and major tech companies will be showcased. On the sidelines of the Conference, the Government of Kazakhstan is also hosting the Kazakhstan Tech Solution Day on 5 September, which will highlight the country’s tech companies, start-ups and digital innovations, such as SmartBridge (service showcase), Smart Data Ukimet (smart data government), and eOtinish.2024-09-03T15:16:26/uploads/2024/9/3/226f21eefe41e2267d400ef04c0452de_original.117574.jpgpravitelstva-i-eksperty-v-oblasti-tehnologiy-obsudyat-usilenie-regionalnyh-obyazatelstv-po-cifrovoy-inklyuzii-i-transformaciiFalse[mdai] 838419The first Asia-Pacific Conference on Digital Inclusion and Transformation in Central Asia, organized by the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) in strategic cooperation with the Ministry of Digital Development, Innovation, and Aerospace Industry of the Republic of Kazakhstan, has started in Astana.

"Last year, a strategic document was approved - the National Project 'Accessible Internet,' aimed at developing the telecommunications industry. Within this project, access to optical internet is planned for 3000 villages. We are implementing a subsidy program called 'Last Mile' in collaboration with the World Bank, covering small and medium-sized operators. There is also a task to provide communication infrastructure for regional and republican roads. The task of deploying 3,500 base stations by 2027 has been accelerated by the Head of State's instruction to 2025. We plan to discuss this issue with the relevant authorities to continue providing a 90% discount to telecom operators," noted Erzhan Meiramov, Chairman of the Committee on Telecommunications. The participants then discussed key aspects of 5G technology and its implementation perspectives. Speakers shared their expert opinions and discussed the issue of balancing competition in the industry. "Last year, we completed an analysis, identifying three entities that hold dominant positions. Two of them are state-owned, belonging to JSC 'Kazakhtelecom.' This hinders competition. Therefore, we propose introducing one operator into the competitive environment. In principle, the Committee supports us in this. We believe that the more communication operators we have, the less state involvement there will be. Where there is competition, there will be quality and affordable prices," said Bolat Sambetov, Deputy Chairman of the Agency for Protection and Development of Competition. In many countries where 5G is implemented, there is a trend of rising prices for communication services, and Kazakhstan is no exception. Bolat Sambetov addressed one of the most crucial questions concerning many Kazakhstani citizens. "Since mid-2022, all mobile operators have been increasing prices for communication services. Monitoring results show an average increase of 7 to 57 percent for communication service plans. We receive many complaints about unjustified increases, and we take appropriate measures. It is important to note that, until 2017, prices were regulated by the state, after which they are in free float. We have already submitted five price notifications, and some entities have reduced their tariffs. Investigations are underway for the rest," mentioned Bolat Sambetov. In turn, Askhat Uzbekov, Chairman of the Board of JSC "Kcell," explained the reason for the increase in communication service prices, stating that it is driven by the companies' expenditures. "From a practical point of view, 5G is indeed expensive. The volume of the internet is increasing, the cost of purchased equipment is rising, and the technology itself requires significant capital investments. In previous years, our company built from 500 to 1000 base stations per year, which was sufficient to meet demand. However, recently, demand has increased 2-3 times, and we are now catching up with this train. Building base stations for 4G and 5G is different: 5G requires more electricity, and the greater weight of active equipment requires sturdy conditions. All these factors lead to increased prices. Tariff regulation and artificially keeping prices low can reduce investment flow and, consequently, capital investments. Therefore, technical development is necessary to meet consumer demands and maintain high-quality communication. Otherwise, consumers will be even more dissatisfied," responded Askhat Uzbekov, Chairman of the Board of JSC "Kcell." The guest of the panel session, Professor from the National University of Singapore, shared his opinion on successful industry development strategies and maintaining market competition during the implementation of 5G technology. He highlighted some advanced international practices that Kazakhstan can consider to ensure effective and sustainable development of its telecommunications infrastructure. "Since last year, Singapore has been fully connected to 5G, providing us with significant opportunities to introduce new technologies. For example, robots in factories operate on the 5G system. Even in public administration, we use some applications to optimize our services. Therefore, we are developing 5G so that other operators can also enter this market," noted Jacob Ibrahim. In addition to "5G," representatives of telecommunication companies in the panel session discussed measures taken to ensure continuous coverage in cities and villages and how the issue of improving communication quality in different parts of the country is being addressed.   MDDIAI Press service2024-02-02T18:10:55/uploads/2024/2/2/458d0ad15c9bf84c6a2543db70f17b01_original.465882.jpeg5g-i-kachestvo-svyazi-na-vi-cifrovom-forume-digital-almaty-2024-obsudili-voprosy-telekommunikaciyFalse[mdai] 698012On February 3, a briefing will take place in Almaty with the participation of the Minister of Digital Development, Innovations, and Aerospace Industry of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Bagdat Musin.

The event is held within the framework of the Digital Almaty 2024 forum. Leaders and representatives of the ministries and agencies of the SCO member states responsible for the development of information and communication technologies, as well as dialogue partners of the SCO, and representatives of diplomatic missions participated in the event. The Minister of Digital Development, Innovations, and Aerospace Industry of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Bagdat Musin, delivered welcoming remarks at the opening ceremony. "Kazakhstan has achieved significant success in the field of digitalization, GovTech, and IT development, confidently leading among the Central Asian countries. Sustainable growth has turned the country into a leading economy in the region, resulting in an improvement in the standard of living and a reduction in poverty, with an average annual growth rate of 5%," noted Bagdat Musin. According to the minister, Kazakhstan has established itself as one of the global leaders in the field of GovTech, and its electronic government products are highly rated in global rankings. "At present, Kazakhstan, in support of friendly relations with Central Asian countries, has provided GovTech solutions ('Smart Bridge' Service Showcase, 'Unified Platform for Internet Resources of Government Agencies,' and the 'Smart Data Ukimet' information and analytical system) to the Republic of Tajikistan," added the minister. The minister also highlighted successful Kazakhstani IT startups, residents of the international technopark Astana Hub. As of today, 12 regional technoparks have been opened as part of the President's directive to scale the experience of Astana Hub. "The advantage and attractiveness of Astana Hub to international companies lie in visa and tax preferences, extraterritoriality, the possibility of online registration, and the launch of acceleration programs. Among the Central Asian regions, Astana Hub became the first partner of Google for Startups, within which a joint acceleration program 'Silkway Accelerator' was developed. Over the course of 2 years of collaboration, the result is a twofold increase in the number of graduate companies; these companies have already entered the markets of the Middle East, the USA, and Europe. Compared to the first 9 months of 2022 ($190.5 million USD), the export of IT services increased by 99%, reaching $373.4 million USD in the first 9 months of 2023," shared Bagdat Musin. In order to determine mutually beneficial directions for digital cooperation and interaction, as well as to implement promising and long-term joint projects, Minister Bagdat Musin proposed the creation of a joint Alliance of technoparks of SCO member countries for the further development of an innovative ecosystem and comprehensive support for startup projects and IT companies. "The main goal of the Alliance is to exchange startup projects and the experience of technoparks, provide assistance to startups in entering markets, create a common venture fund, conduct joint incubation and acceleration programs, provide free workspace with 24/7 access, the possibility of providing free accommodation for startups, scaling solutions in technoparks of SCO member countries, organizing B2B meetings, and providing grants and support measures," suggested the minister. According to the minister, another area of cooperation to enhance technological connectivity with the global world could be the construction of fiber-optic communication lines. Utilizing Kazakhstan's high transit potential will provide significant advantages for our countries in connecting to the Internet and improve conditions for traffic flow across the Eurasian continent. This will allow for the diversification of transit communication channels and expand our states' participation in the international data transit market. Therefore, it is proposed to consider the possibility of constructing fiber-optic communication lines connecting our countries along the route Russia-Kazakhstan-Iran, with access to the Indian Ocean. Also, as part of the national project "Accessible Internet" in Kazakhstan, the construction of large data centers for processing and storing transit traffic is planned. In the context of SCO member countries' interaction and increasing transit potential, as well as the creation of a regional data hub, there is a proposal to combine efforts in developing joint data storage facilities. In this regard, it is suggested to implement joint projects involving SCO countries, starting from the creation of satellites and ending with the implementation of digital platforms. The joint formation of satellite groups based on the capabilities of SCO member countries also involves providing shared access to satellite images of all participating countries. This will increase the frequency of satellite imagery of the same territory, enabling operational space monitoring of emergencies, natural resources, anthropogenic impact, and other aspects. The integration of satellite monitoring data through the digitization of various economic sectors is a global trend. Digital platforms covering agriculture, water, land, natural resources, and subsurface use provide the opportunity for objective monitoring. The effective operation of such platforms depends on the regularity of satellite images. In turn, for launching these satellite data, it is proposed to use international spaceports. "Positioning itself as a social state, Kazakhstan, whose highest values are people, their lives, rights, and freedoms, and creating favorable conditions for a better life, is open and calls for active mutually beneficial cooperation in the field of digitization, GovTech digital solutions, including the exchange of experience and knowledge in the field of AI with SCO member countries," summarized Bagdat Musin. During the meeting, participants exchanged best practices in ICT in their countries, successful cases of digitalization of the SCO countries' economies, challenges, and prospects for digitalization for sustainable development, plans, and perspectives for the development of digitization and new technologies. Countries also noted the existing problem of "digital divide" between different countries and social groups. With the aim of promoting digital partnership for sustainable development of the digital economy, the parties agreed to maintain and strengthen established connections, continuing the exchange of best practices in the field of information and communication technologies and facilitating the systematic reduction of the digital divide. Meeting participants expressed the desire to deepen cooperation in the development of digital transformation and the digital economy, thereby giving a new impetus to the innovative technological development of SCO countries' economies. The parties agreed on joint work to promote e-government solutions, exchange knowledge about successful practices, and explore opportunities for joint projects. In the context of the development of digital transformation and modern information and communication technologies, meeting participants agreed on the need for further development of cooperation between SCO member states and acceptable forms of interaction for all countries. In conclusion, the parties agreed that the next meeting of the heads of ministries and agencies of the SCO member states responsible for the development of information and communication technologies will take place in 2025 in  China. The organization of the SCO Digital Forum in Kazakhstan was initiated by Kassym-Jomart Tokayev during the SCO online summit on July 4, 2023. The head of state emphasized that systematic reduction of digital inequality should become a tangible priority in the SCO's activities.   MDDIAI Press service2024-02-01T17:01:12/uploads/2024/2/1/a731472ddccf8fc5dd3dc88bf92d7687_original.187777.jpegcifrovoy-forum-shos-vpervye-prohodit-v-kazahstaneFalse[mdai] 696881On February 1st, within the framework of the annual International Digitalization Forum, Digital Almaty 2024, a briefing was held on the topic "Completion of the pilot project on the interaction of cryptocurrency exchanges with second-tier banks," with the participation of Gizzat Baytursynov, Director of the Department of Electronic Industry Development and Digital Asset Industry of the MDDIAI of the RK, Maksat Shagdarov, Head of the Department for Combating Abuse on the Financial Market of ARDFM of the RK, and Erkegali Edenbayev, Managing Director of the Licensing and Financial Technologies Office of AIFC. In June 2021, the Roadmap for the development of the crypto industry and blockchain technologies in the Republic of Kazakhstan was approved by the First Deputy Prime Minister of the Republic of Kazakhstan, and a working group of government agencies was created to implement the pilot project on the interaction of AIFC crypto exchanges with Kazakhstan’s second-tier banks. In December 2022, the Pilot Project on the Interaction of AIFC Cryptocurrency Exchanges and Kazakhstani Second-Tier Banks was launched. "The main goal of the project was to create a regulated environment for trading in unsecured digital assets, which is important for protecting the rights of both retail and professional investors in the Republic of Kazakhstan. For a year and a half, we have closely interacted with market participants, allowing us to achieve significant success. In particular, we were able to establish effective mechanisms of cooperation between AIFC cryptocurrency exchanges and Kazakhstan’s second-tier banks, contributing to the creation of an appropriate regulatory framework," noted Gizzat Baytursynov, Director of the Department of Electronic Industry Development and Digital Asset Industry of MDDIAI of the RK. At the time of the pilot project's completion, six cryptocurrency exchanges (Binance Kazakhstan, Biteeu Eurasia Ltd., Top Line Limited, Upbit Eurasia Ltd., Bybit Limited, ATAIX Eurasia Ltd.) and eight second-tier banks (Altyn Bank JSC, People's Bank of Kazakhstan JSC, Bank CenterCredit JSC, Eurasian Bank JSC, Nurbank JSC, Islamic Bank Zaman Bank JSC, Bereke Bank JSC, Freedom Finance Bank Kazakhstan JSC) were participating. Erkegali Edenbayev, Managing Director of the Licensing and Financial Technologies Office of AIFC, shared the results of the pilot project. "During the pilot project period, the total turnover amounted to $239 million, the number of transactions was 63,000, and the total number of clients was 52,800," noted Erkegali Edenbayev. Following the successful trial, the Procedure and Mechanism for the interaction of unsecured digital asset exchanges and AIFC-licensed participants engaged in digital asset-related activities with second-tier banks in the Republic of Kazakhstan have been approved. These steps will contribute to the further development of the crypto industry in Kazakhstan and enhance the country's attractiveness as a center for financial innovation.   MDDIAI Press service2024-02-01T14:35:26/uploads/2024/2/1/753d3973e8c9490c2e71cf26dab95a00_original.259981.jpegzavershilsya-pilotnyy-proekt-po-vzaimodeystviyu-kriptobirzh-s-bankami-vtorogo-urovnyaFalse[mdai] 696781As part of the Digital Almaty 2024 forum, a panel session titled "GovTech X: Digital Tools for Public Administration Modernization" took place with the participation of the Minister of Digital Development, Innovations, and Aerospace Industry, Bagdat Musin. Speakers at the panel session also included the Minister of Digital Development, Communications, and Mass Media of the Russian Federation, Maksut Shadaev, the Minister of Digital Development of the Kyrgyz Republic, Nuriya Kutnaeva, and the CEO of Freedom Holding Corp., Timur Turlov. Minister Bagdat Musin reported that the indicators of e-government implementation are growing every year. In 2023, 50 million online services were provided, with 92% of services available to citizens literally from their homes. Continuous work is also being done on the implementation of proactive services, with 46 types already available and provided over 2 million times. "We now have a huge ecosystem of e-government, where alongside government portals, banking applications are included, and other services and startups are starting to enter. As a GovTech leader, we see it as our responsibility to share our expertise and even ready-made products. In 2023, three systems were transferred to the Republic of Tajikistan: SDU, Smart Bridge, GOV.kz. We offer successful and proven products to our partner countries free of charge," said Bagdat Musin. The Minister also noted in his speech that the most popular 45 services and government services are available to Kazakh people through second-tier bank applications. For example, the most popular among them is online car sales. According to him, if previously less than 10% of transactions were done online, after reengineering government services and integrating them into bank applications, the share of online sales increased to 75%. Processes such as obtaining a mortgage, including bank approvals, property re-registration, and placing it in pledge, are also conducted online and within one day. Registering a business has also become available through bank applications. All these achievements became possible thanks to the key components of Kazakhstan's e-government: the integration platform Smart Bridge (with over 1700 business connections to government services, allowing businesses to create new products and services), Smart Data Ukimet (space for cross-data analysis and decision-making support), GOV.kz (a unified platform for the websites of all government bodies operating to a unified standard), E-Notary (digital notary), E-Otinish (the principles of a hearing state), E-Densaulyk (access to personal medical data), and E-Salyk (tax wallet). All these services are available in our Egov superapp: 850 services, 31 digital documents equivalent to paper ones, a marketplace for government services. This includes fully online notarial services, a tax wallet, and filing appeals to government agencies in a couple of clicks. In Kazakhstan, more than 4 million people use the eGov mobile app every month. «Now we are integrating all existing components into a unified GovTech platform – KazTech, where transparent regulations and rules are already being implemented.  According to our assessment, approximately 40% on average in each project involves the automation of similar processes and requirements,» concluded Bagdat Musin.   MDDIAI Press service2024-02-01T12:11:48/uploads/2024/2/1/1eb56f9a4951dbfbce03b354297106b8_original.2675358.jpggovtech-x-cifrovye-instrumenty-dlya-modernizacii-gosudarstvennogo-upravleniyaFalse[mdai] 696685On 1 February, the VI Digital Forum Digital Almaty 2024: "Industry X: Digital Evolution of the Future" started its work in Almaty.

Within the framework of the Declaration of Allied Interaction between the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Republic of Tajikistan, signed by the Presidents, active work is underway to transfer Kazakhstani expertise in the development of Tajikistan's information and communication infrastructure. A Memorandum of Understanding was signed between the Ministry of digital development, innovations, and aerospace industry of the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Ministry of industry and new technologies of the Republic of Tajikistan on cooperation in the transfer of e-government platform systems. In line with this memorandum, a team of technical specialists from JSC "National Information Technologies" is currently conducting a technical assessment of the digital maturity of Tajikistan's ICT infrastructure and the possibilities of implementing Kazakhstani IT solutions, in collaboration with colleagues from the Ministry of industry and new technologies of Tajikistan. On December 21, 2023, JSC "NIT" team provided practical assistance by transferring e-government components to the Ministry of industry and new technologies of Tajikistan. The assessment of digital readiness and the implementation of IT solutions involve a comprehensive process, including research, analysis, planning, and the implementation of new technologies and systems. The technical team has started working on these tasks, conducting a review of Tajikistan's existing information systems and studying the experiences and practices applied in Kazakhstan. Preliminary results indicate that this joint initiative promises to be successful and beneficial for both parties. A reminder of the main functions of the exported IT solutions: "Smart Bridge" - a platform for streamlining the integration process between the information systems of government agencies and the business sector. Smart Data Ukimet - a set of tools for monitoring economic growth and the execution of government programs, creating a unified space for big data as the foundational basis for the digital transformation of the state. "Unified platform for internet resources of government agencies" - a unique platform for citizens that consolidates all websites of government agencies into a unified and user-friendly structure with an easy-to-navigate interface.

Now companies in Kazakhstan can use AWS services locally and access cloud even more easily. In 2006, Amazon Web Services (AWS) began offering IT infrastructure services to businesses around the world in the form of web services -- now known as cloud computing. Cloud computing is available everywhere after connecting to the network – very much like electricity. And what’s most important is that customers pay only for what they use. This helps companies to scale when suddenly people start using their solutions globally – they can add IT resources immediately. That is why Netflix, Meta (Facebook), Tinder, Uber and many other companies run on AWS cloud. Last year, AWS announced availability of AWS Outposts in Kazakhstan. This means Kazakh companies can now use AWS services locally in their own data centers and speed up their innovation. AWS Outposts rack can now be shipped and installed at clients’ data centers and on-premises locations in Kazakhstan. On 10th of November 2022, AWS met with the Information Security Committee of the Ministry of Digital Development, Innovation and Aerospace Industry of Kazakhstan to discuss technical capabilities of AWS Outposts, especially in relation to security and encryption. The parties also discussed the data processing and storage mechanisms and their relationship to data residency requirements in Kazakhstan. Cameron Brooks, Director of Europe Public Sector, Amazon Web Services said: “Kazakhstan is ushering in a new era of innovation, with entrepreneurs, public organizations and businesses sharing the vision of a modern digital society. We understand that cloud is an integral part of the country’s national digital agenda, and will be a key lever in advancing its position as a tech and business hub. With the general availability of AWS Outposts in Kazakhstan, we look forward to supporting this vision through initiatives that will drive innovation, contribute to the development of a digital economy, support legacy IT system modernization and develop digital skills for future generations.” Ruslan Kenzhebekovich Abdikalikov, Chairman of the Information Security Committee of the Ministry of Digital Development, Innovation and Aerospace Industry of Kazakhstan said “The appearance in the Republic of Kazakhstan of the world leader in the field of building modern cloud platforms Amazon Web Services undoubtedly shows the country's desire to use the best world technologies. Thanks to the mutual understanding reached, we can note with satisfaction that the technological capabilities of AWS Outposts fully meet the requirements of Kazakhstani legislation in the field of informatization and information security, as well as the protection of personal data. This opens up great opportunities for both the public sector and private IT companies to use the advanced technologies of Amazon Web Services in the development of the country's digital economy.”2023-03-27T15:45:00/uploads/2023/3/27/b870f4c50af69ac9ba43c793c75f472e_original.19051.jpegrazvertyvayte-prilozheniya-i-hranite-dannye-na-aws-lokalno-v-kazahstaneFalse[mdai] 500010Within the framework of the International Technology Forum “Digital Almaty: Digital Partnership in the New Reality”, the traditional Annual Award of Excellence in Digitalization was awarded.

We have about four hundred people in this community. The community unites Kazakhstanis from many countries, mostly, of course, from America, Europe, and Asia. And we built this community in order to bring our knowledge to the development of the Kazakhstani IT community,” said Abdualiev. Today, Digital Nomad is doing a number of projects aimed at supporting and promoting young women in the industry, a project to develop sports programming, the “University Lectures” project, in which community members give lectures for free, and many others. However, Abdualiyev noted, there is a public opinion that these people who left Kazakhstan, will never come back.  “An old saying even states that: “it’s better to be poor in your own motherland than a Sultan in a foreign land.” Are you lost for Kazakhstan and will you ever return to Kazakhstan?” he asked the participants of the session. “I agree completely with this saying “it’s better to be poor in your own motherland than a Sultan in a foreign land”. But now it’s time for digital nomads, digitalization, and globalization. And I want, I do really want ten thousand Kazakhstanis to go to Amsterdam, to Poland, to New York, to Warsaw, to Tokyo, to Sydney. Let five thousand of them settle there, let five thousand stay there. Five thousand will come back with a different way of thinking. And their children, their generation will only make Kazakhstan better. I believe that that should be so,” Satybaldiyev said in response. Community members noted that Kazakhstani IT specialists are not inferior to world specialists and can equally work both abroad and at home.   Digital Almaty is a traditional dialogue platform for discussing the digital agenda, new strategies for digital transformation, and trends in digital technology.

The prospects for the Digitalization in a modern way at Kazakhstani enterprises were discussed by the participants of the V International Digital Forum “Digital Almaty” in the framework of the panel session on “Industry 4.0: from Automation to Digitalization”. “We see that there is progress towards Industry 4.0, industrial enterprises express their interest, there is already a mental readiness to introduce IT technologies, robotization, and we hope that the instruments and actions taken by Government will have an effect, and will create the base to develop the industry, develop technologies and move forward,” said Vice Minister of Industry and Infrastructure Development Dinara Shcheglova. She recalled that last year, the Ministry, together with the Kazakh Industry and Export Center “QazIndustry”, initiated special seminars and surveys of enterprises. Also last year, amendments were made to the current law “On Industry”, which now includes the basic rules for Industry 4.0.  “We have also reviewed measures of state support. The state reimburses expenses to implement IT. Regulations have also been adopted providing that if an industrial enterprise incurred any costs for the development of IT infrastructure at its enterprise, then it may expect to reimburse 50% of the costs by our Industrial Development Institute,” Shcheglova noted. Currently, according to her, robotization development is being studied separately by Ministry. “We plan to draw up a robotization concept, a short-term plan for us, for enterprises for the next 2-3 years, provide for state support measures, and providing industrial grants is being worked out now,” the Vice-Minister specified.   Digital Almaty is a traditional dialogue platform for discussing the digital agenda, new strategies for digital transformation, and trends in digital technology.

Lyazzat Ramazanova, Deputy Chair of the National Commission for Women, Family and Demographic Policy, noted that women's entrepreneurship is actively developing in Kazakhstan today, while a significant part of it is still concentrated in the micro and small business segment. “Within the framework of the National Commission, a pilot project was launched to open women's entrepreneurship support centres in each region of Kazakhstan. This is a unique project because without having the concept of “women's entrepreneurship” in the Entrepreneurial Code, we are nevertheless moving in this direction. This is a huge achievement for the women entrepreneurs! Today, 20 centres are open, and the number of services delivered has exceeded 30,000,” she said. Asset Turyssov, Vice Minister of Digital Development, Innovation and Aerospace Industry informed us how is progressing the transfer of public services from a service to a proactive format. Women should be the first to appreciate such an integrated approach. The Vice Minister explained: using the example of a bureaucratic birth of a child, an integrated approach was to study, what needs to be done to improve the situation of women who are waiting for the child.   “This is the principle of the “invisible state”, when a person feels help, and support, but does not contact physically the state,” Turyssov said. During the comprehensive analysis, was a pointed lack of awareness of information, when many women do not know how to register as a future mother, how to apply for maternity leave, what privileges they are entitled to etc. Officials were unpleasantly surprised by the number of papers and various procedures that women have to go through to receive public services. Now, according to him, a complex of services is being worked out in such a way that all procedures take a maximum of one hour and without direct contact with employees of any structures. This promise was met with thunderous applause by the participants of the discussion. National expert on social issues Svetlana Zhakupova spoke about the ongoing project “Digital Family Map” - a unique information system that accumulates information from various government agencies. This system makes it possible to determine the level of social well-being of citizens and provide them with guaranteed state support in a proactive format.   Digital Almaty is a traditional dialogue platform for discussing the digital agenda, new strategies for digital transformation, and trends in digital technology.

Sapar Akhmetov, Chairman of the Kazakhstan Association of Blockchain Technologies, noted that Kazakhstani industry companies also faced with big challenges. But we have seen positive trends this year. The state is sensitive to the trend of industry development. This means, first of all, the clear rules of the game that are being created in Kazakhstan. This year, our association will continue to work with the government, the AIFC,” he said. Akhmetov expressed confidence that Kazakhstan needs to introduce the turnover of cryptocurrencies, taking into account security issues and creating conditions for anti-money laundering. The Association, in response “is starting to consider the launch of educational programs, because many crypto traders and many scammers started to appear on the market, so citizens need to be educated.”  Gizat Baitursynov, Deputy Director of the Department for the Development of the Electronic Industry and the Digital Assets of the MDDIAI, reminded that the Parliament adopted a Law on digital assets, which settles key issues in this sector, making it transparent. “In many countries, cryptocurrencies are used as a means of payment.

This is the Unified Data Storage of the city, the Unified Geoanalytics Platform. A unified video monitoring system will cover up to 80% of Almaty this year. And this is not digitalization for the sake of digitalization, but, first of all, it is about the creation of a comfortable urban environment and ensuring the safety of our citizens and guests of the city,” Dosayev emphasized.   Digital Almaty is a traditional dialogue platform for discussing the digital agenda, new strategies for digital transformation, and trends in digital technology.

We understand that the business needs support, that is why the service to register an IE is a timely and needed service for our customers, which is fully remote” told Umut Shayakhmetova, Chairman of the Board, Halyk Bank. “I want to add that our Onlinebank app for business has a variety of useful and convenient services for organization, management and development of business. It enables managing the accounts, making mutual 24/7 payments, instantly getting all the required information about accounts, developing business on a free-of-charge market platform, keeping books online, while new IE can calculate the sum of taxes, deductions and submit a declaration to the State Revenue Department using the service”. Registration of IE via Halyk Bank app became available due to development of additional services to check availability of IE, to generate notifications on the commencement of activities as IE and coupon. To do this, specialists from National Information Technologies JSC performed integration with the information systems of State Revenue Committee under Ministry of Finance, e-Licensing State Database and the bank.      The service is available both from web-version and Onlinebank mobile app for business.

To get more information on its installation, one needs to contact communication operators via their official websites and technical support services.2020-12-05T20:20:00/uploads/2020/12/5/fab5b75db15fb621d8bf5ec61d7f6dea_original.170355.jpego-provedenii-ucheniy-informacionnaya-bezopasnost-nur-sultan-2020False[mdai]Information Security (ID: 6) 130400On December 2, the Government session took place on the issues of agroindustrial complex and land relations digitization with participation of the Minister of Digital Development, Innovations and Aerospace Industry of RK Bagdat Mussin. During the session, the Minister made a report on implementation of current projects and shared the Ministry`s plans in the field of agroindustrial complex and land relations.     Mussin highlighted that in order to effectively implement the digitization projects, a relevant infrastructure for agrobusiness is required. To implement the tasks, it was suggested to deliver the project on infrastructure provision for agroindustrial complex digitization for 2021-2025 with investment volume of KZT 50 bln under public/private partnership. Besides, the Minister mentioned three major problems of land procedures. “First, it is duration and complexity of the procedures. There are no clear and arranged mechanisms for interaction between citizens and agencies. Secondly, there are a lot of judicial disputes and complaints because of overlapping in land plot borders. Thirdly, architecture of the land cadastre system is obsolete. There are over 200 distributed databases to the level of regions, which entails information security and human factor risks” told Bagdat Mussin. The Head of the Ministry suggested to consolidate all the registers and automate the service delivery process via Single State Cadastre and e-Gov Portal, and also create the Single Register of Electronic Queue.   The Minister informed that capability to get land plots online was launched in pilot mode in Aktobe. “We launched the service for provision of land plots with technical characteristics thereto online in pilot mode in Aktobe and significantly changed the process. Using the public cadastre map one can select a land plot online. An Akim`s decision, various contract acts, all of these will be drawn up online and be available in personal account” told B.

For 9 months of this year, over 30 facts of illegal transfer of digital signature and over 5 cases of non-observance of protection measures have been detected. Fines in the amount from 10 to 150 MCI were imposed for the detected facts.       “Recently, the Ministry has been obtaining numerous materials and complaints on the facts of illegal transfer of digital signatures owned by individuals and public officials. It is worth remembering that digital signature is equal to a handwritten signature and bears the same legal consequences” commented Ruslan Abdikalikov, Chairman of Information Security Committee under MDDIAI RK.    Compared to the previous period, there has been an increase in cases when the heads of government agencies and organizations have transferred their digital signatures to other employees, as well as cases when employers do not revoke digital signatures of dismissed employees. Such actions contribute to the illegal use of digital signatures, which entails administrative and even criminal liability. To protect oneself and not become a victim of fraud or, vice versa, a violator, the Ministry recommends: Firstly, exclude transfer of digital signature to third parties. In organizations, employees authorized to sign documents have their own digital signatures. Secondly, track dismissal of employees having digital signatures and timely revoke those digital signatures.  Thirdly, in case of loss, re-issue a digital signature as soon as possible, revoke a previous one, and also change a password from a standard one to a more complex.2020-11-26T11:03:00/uploads/2020/11/26/690670d316c2b524fa9463d93f04102a_original.66716.jpguchastilis-fakty-nezakonnogo-ispolzovaniya-elektronnoy-cifrovoy-podpisi-ecp-tretimi-licamiFalse[mdai]E-government and public services (ID: 7) 127090On November 24, an online meeting took place under the 9th Civil Forum of Kazakhstan with relevant NGOs and the Minister of Digital Development, Innovations and Aerospace Industry of RK Bagdat Mussin.

This was reported by the Press Service of the Prime Minister of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Askar Zhambakin was born in 1985 in Almaty. In 2007, he graduated from the Almaty Institute of Energy and Communications, in 2009 — from the University of Manchester. He began his career in 2003 as a communications technician of the first category of a communications center at Air Kazakhstan CJSC. In 2010-2011, he was head of the department for corporate systems, officer for direct marketing of JSC HSBC Bank Kazakhstan. In 2011-2014, he worked at the Development Bank of Kazakhstan JSC as the head of the Methodology and Business Processes Department, the director of the Business Processes and Corporate Development Departments.

Now, websites with such registered domain names as .KZ and .ҚАЗ are allocated in the space of Kazakhstani Internet segment, i.e. in hardware and software facilities located on the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan.          The requirement was resulted from work performed under tasks set forth by the Head of State within provision of “digital soverengity” mentioned in the message. Under the Law “On New Digital Technologies”, adjustment was approved on June 25, 2020 which enabled defining requirements for protection of domain names within the space of Kazakhstani Internet segment.   Since the adjustment approval, work began on its technical implementation. Thus, under the service for the Internet space monitoring, the domestic “WebTotem” system detected about 45000 domain names violating the above requirement.   Relevant notifications were sent to “Kazakhstan Network Information Center” as well as to registrars and domain name owners so that they can verify or refute the violation until November 30, 2020.   “Websites with Kazakhstani domain names should be allocated in local data centers and local IT developers should be engaged. Domestic businessmen, in their turn, should use local resources and production resources as much as possible, money should be invested into the country, not be spent outside the country in pursuit of fictitious cheapness of service abroad.    If an owner refuses to transfer a website from a Kazakhstani domain name, it will be enough just to change a website name. For example, website named info.kz can be changed to info.kz.com or info.kz.org. It should be noted that the work done will not affect regular users and will remain almost invisible for them” commented Askhat Orazbek, Vice Minister of Digital Development, Innovations and Aerospace Industry of the RK. The requirement will enable creating a multiplicative effect in the economy, such as more jobs in ICT field, utilization of surplus electricity, reduction of external Internet traffic, communication operators will be able to invest more in the development of local communication networks and improve the quality of services delivered.2020-11-11T11:03:00/uploads/2020/11/11/8062cac8a65da7cfa3962552498222a1_original.90581.jpgopredeleny-trebovaniya-k-zashchite-domennyh-imenFalse[mdai]Information Security (ID: 6) 116222On October 31, 2020, a working meeting was held in Moscow between the Minister of digital development, innovation and aerospace industry of the Republic of Kazakhstan B. Musin and the General Director of the state Corporation for space activities Roscosmos D. Rogozin. The parties discussed topical issues of Kazakh-Russian cooperation in the space sphere, including the further development of the Baikonur complex. Issues related to the Baiterek (Nazarbayev start) and Gagarin start projects were discussed. During the meeting, a Protocol was signed on amendments and additions to the Agreement between the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Government of the Russian Federation on the creation of the Baiterek space rocket complex at the Baikonur cosmodrome on December 22, 2004. As part of the procedure, a contract was also signed for the provision of services for the creation of the Baiterek KRK, which in turn was signed by Andrey Okhlopkov, General Director of TsENKI JSC, and Kuat Mustafinov, General Director of the Kazakh-Russian joint venture Baiterek JSC. Reference: Baiterek is a complex designed for launching spacecraft by the Russian Soyuz-5 launch vehicle and its possible modifications, with a high level of environmental safety. In this project, the Russian side provides for the creation of the Soyuz-5 launch vehicle, control and verification equipment at the technical and launch complexes, as well as the modernization of the technical complex of the upper stage, the spacecraft and the space head. The Kazakh side is carrying out reconstruction and modernization of ground infrastructure facilities of the Zenit-M space rocket complex.2020-10-31T16:01:00/uploads/2020/10/31/efd539248248cd02d26297ae1aa27f64_original.51176.jpegpodpisanie-soglasheniya-po-proektu-bayterekFalse[mdai, kazcosmos]Aerospace industry (ID: 5) 115781In his message, the President set areas for digitalization development in the country along with clear directions. Ministry of Digital Development, Innovations and Aerospace Industry (MDDIAI) developed the plan to achieve the goals set by the President. Large-scale projects have been implemented within the plan aimed at enhancing the living standards.    In particular, two major projects are under implementation within the plan for provision of qualitative communication to citizens aimed at increasing coverage areas in rural districts with population of 250 people and more. The project “FOCL to village” implies installation of optical cable in villages with its connection to schools, hospitals and akimats. To date, the Internet access via    fiber-optic communication has been provided to 835 rural and remote localities out of 1257. In total, the project will cover 2.4 mln people throughout the country. The second project is a unique opportunity to provide communication to remote localities. The Ministry developed a mechanism under which communication operators regardless of competition use equipment of one of the operators to provide communication to citizens of all market players. The so-called “sharing” agreement was signed by the operators in early October this year.   Moreover, MDDIAI discussed the issue of creating requirements to communication quality, which will enable detecting violations and applying sanctions against communication operators through fines or license revocation, in case if communication quality won`t comply with the requirements. Also, the Ministry raised the issue related to increase of fine sums for communication operators under the program for communication quality improvement in the country.        Under transfer of all the statements in paper into online format, the work continues on defining the list of statements and integrations with one or another agency. To date, more than ten projects on transfer of paper statements into online format have been successfully implemented.      In particular, such projects were implemented as establishment of IE via Kaspi.kz app, registration of consent for donation, making an appointment to Specialized CSC and CSC, obtainment of data from the land cadastre, transfer and re-admittance of students, assignment of payments to guardians and custodians, etc. As it was told by the President “that is data that should run, not people” and data run instead of people thanks to information systems integration with other agencies. Thus, Kazakhstani citizens do not have to visit government agencies to obtain a statement, now they can be obtained online.   Also, now, ID documents are available in digital format in eGovMobile app. Now there is no need to carry them constantly for provision to third parties.   One can provide a driving license or national ID via smartphone. At the moment, an issue is under consideration on enshrining this capability in the legislation.   In order to make the registration process on eGov as easy and convenient as possible, biometrics will be used, which will allow a person to register within a minute. There will be no need to undergo several authorization stages as it will be enough to look at a smartphone screen and it will identify a user by registering him/her.      Implementation of the projects became possible due to infrastructure capacities which require update each year. In particular, at the moment, re-engineering of processes and elimination of the number of IT systems of certain agencies or their integration with a central one, so-called gateway, is required.  Currently, each agency has no less than 10 IT systems some of which are obsolete, so that is why it is important to analyze and create a relevant structure of systems, in order to see all the data that would enable analyzing and forecasting in the future, which in its turn will allow planning the work done by agencies. In order to arrange the similar major countrywide projects, a relevant number of IT professionals is required, unfortunately there are not many of them on a local market. MDDIAI commenced the process of generating the knowledge database and creating the projects on training of specialists for local market as well as for export.    In particular, MDDIAI in cooperation with private partners organizes acceleration programs for professionals, which involve workshops, seminars, etc. The programs enable our specialists undergoing advanced training and get certificates, which make them competitive on foreign markets.2020-10-30T12:01:00/uploads/2020/10/30/846fbe88ba93c64c0233d35b2db27c2d_original.487422.jpgcifrovizaciya-bazovyy-element-vseh-reform-i-novye-vozmozhnosti-dlya-sovremennogo-kazahstanaFalse[mdai] 112058Pursuant to the Decree of Government of RK, Anuar Akhmetzhanov was appointed the First Vice-Minister of Digital Development, Innovations and Aerospace Industry of the Republic of Kazakhstan.    Anuar Akhmetzhanov was born in 1975 in Karaganda.

For the purpose of transparent and rational spending of budget funds as well as e-Gov resources, it is planned to use the “e-Apostille” software product designed by Ministry of Justice of RK as a single tool for online apostilization of documents for all concerned government agencies.   Also, to facilitate the process and to exclude a requirement for submission of paper documents, for instance during registration of legal entity and registration of pledge for movable property, it was suggested by justice bodies to work out the possibility of data upload through “e-Notary” system. This can be powers of attorney or data on transactions or actions, which require mandatory registration in government agencies.       In its turn, Ministry of Internal Affairs of RK provided information on the work done under partial transfer of migration service functions (acceptance of citizens) related to documentation to “Government for Citizens” Public Corporation. This will help significantly decrease the queues in CSCs. Launch of the pilot project is planned in the nearest future.

To get a statement, one can just enter IIN of a deceased. “Previously, one had to visit several organizations which took a lot of time.   The statement is required for burial, assignment of one-time payment for burial, obtainment of a deceased person`s pension savings and arrangement of inheritance.   Now it can be obtained online” commented the Press Service of Ministry of Digital Development, Innovations and Aerospace Industry of RK.  On eGov.kz Portal in “Family” section, one needs to go to “Marital Status” subsection, select the service “Notification on state registration of death”, order it and sign using digital signature.  One can familiarize with the service delivery result in Personal Account on eGov.kz Portal. Reasons for refusal can include incorrect entry of data or absence of death record. In case of the first reason, one needs to check data and try to re-order the service, while in case of the second reason one needs to apply to a government agency.

Ministry of Digital Development, Innovations and Aerospace Industry (MDDIAI) announced the launch of bailanys.bar service. The service task is to measure the real Internet quality across the country and identify areas with a poor Internet connectivity. Based on the data it is planned to draw up a map of Internet connectivity and develop an action plan to enhance the Internet connectivity in each region.     “The service is a necessary measure. We understand that there are zones without the Internet or zones with a poor connectivity. There are many such zones and out major task is to reduce the number of such locations to the maximum extent. The app will enable us obtaining reliable data on network quality and the Internet speed and enhancing the current situation” Daryn Tuyakov, Vice Minister of Digital Development, Innovations and Aerospace Industry commented.  Today, bailanys.bar enables sharing geolocation, running the Internet connectivity check and viewing measuring results. Even citizens from the remotest areas of the country can use the product and monitor the Internet quality.  The service is available both through browser and Aitu mobile app, which can be downloaded in PlayMarket and App Store. The app developers are specialists from BTS Digital Kazakhstani digital company. "Our major task is to identify regions with the poorest Internet connectivity. The more data will be gathered, the more precise measures will be introduced to fix the situation. We urge Kazakhstani citizens to participate in the research. There is nothing complex in it and network monitoring can be done in several clicks" Vladimir Fidler, Head of bailanys.bar service, commented. This is the first attempt in Kazakhstan history to arrange a systematic independent monitoring of the Internet quality. Up to now, all the researches had been based on fragmented data from various studies or on the data provided by communication operators. The bailanys.bar service will enable obtaining reliable data straight from the users. On the initial stage the developers plan to draw up a general view on the Internet connectivity across the country and identify steps to the fix the situation.  During the second stage it is planned to launch a capability of direct messaging, i.e. users will be able to submit a complaint related to the Internet connectivity or communication provider. All the requests will be considered by MDDIAI.2020-10-01T15:06:00/uploads/2020/10/1/1d196ca3b4d0763a6ee1997664d5051b_original.49391.jpgv-kazahstane-poyavitsya-pervaya-nezavisimaya-ot-operatorov-svyazi-karta-pokrytiya-internet-setiFalse[mdai, telecom]Telecommunications and communications (ID: 8) 101738Ministry of Digital Development, Innovations and Aerospace Industry of RK in cooperation with "Zerde" Holding JSC hosted an online session: "Towards Sustainable Development: Making World Digital by Default". The meeting was held within the 75th UN General Assembly session. The Deputy UN Secretary-General Fabrizio Hochschild; Head of GIGA project, Senior Adviser ​Christopher Fabian; Minister of Digital Development of RK Bagdat Mussin, political leaders, international experts, representative from the international organizations shared their views on recent and emerging trends of digital development.     Digitalization leaders concurred in the opinion that in the context of pandemic the world faces a common goal, which is provision of secure, qualitative access to the Internet and communication.  During the meeting, leading startups from Kazakhstan, Guatemala, India, Nigeria, Mexica, Argentina and Bangladesh presented digital solutions aimed at unleashing a full potential of digital technologies and data to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).         In his welcome speech, Bagdat Mussin noted that the world needs to adapt to a new reality and new challenges posed by the pandemic. “The COVID-19 pandemic demonstrated that the world has changed and became “digital” by default. That is why, considering the lessons learned due to the pandemic, changes were initiated to the “Digital Kazakhstan” State Program pursuant to which we identified five priority areas for digital development of the country: development of ICT infrastructure and digital government, increase of digital literacy among citizens, provision of safety as well as protection of rights within digital space, and also digitization of economy sectors and implementation of big data” Minister added. Bagdat Mussin also presented the key “digital” indicators of Kazakhstan: 97% of Kazakhstan citizens have access to the Internet; digital literacy level equals to 82.1%; number of automated public services increased up to 83% and Kazakhstan ranks 29th among 193 countries in the UN e-Gov Development Index. Fabrizio Hochschild sounded a note of warning for those, who do not have access to state-of-the-art technologies due to the pandemic. “3.6 billion people around the world still do not have access to the Internet and 360 million among them are the youths aged between 15 to 24, i.e. 10%. The COVID-19 pandemic can cause severe consequences related to aggravation of various forms of inequality and not only in the developing countries” Deputy UN Secretary-General told. Along with that he highlighted the importance of Kazakhstan accession to the Giga initiative on implementation of recommendations stipulated for by the UN Secretary-General's Roadmap for Digital Cooperation on provision of communication as well as access to the Internet, expansion of digital inclusion and development of digital potential. Fabrizio Hochschild expressed his gratitude to UNICEF, ITU and Kazakhstan for being the first ones to implement Giga on their way to achieve global goals.2020-09-23T20:23:00/uploads/2020/9/23/86e06c05074783ea14a44b737beb621d_original.333888.jpgmirovye-eksperty-obsudili-prioritetnye-napravleniya-cifrovogo-sotrudnichestvaFalse[mdai] 100108During a regular meeting, Interdepartmental Commission for Public Service Delivery in cooperation with government agencies addressed the issue of paper exclusion.   Chairman of the Interdepartmental Commission – Minister of Digital Development, Innovations and Aerospace Industry Bagdat Mussin highlighted the relevance of reducing the number of paper and emphasized the need for rapid implementation of the required measures.  “In his recent Message, the President set a clear task to cancel requesting of popular paper acknowledgments from citizens.  It means, we should proceed in the area. To date, we have canceled 6 paper and we can observe a positive economic impact. It is vital to suggest new approaches, keep up with the times, promote progress, apply and expand eGov Mobile capabilities” Minister added. As it was mentioned by Daulet Bekmanov, Chairman of Public Services Committee under Ministry of Digital Development, today there are 694 services in the national register and about 50 of them are information services and paper. “We held meetings with the representative from the number of ministries, discussed the issues of cancelling request of various paper from citizens and in the result, we suggest excluding 30 services this year. For instance, we suggest to cancel such abstracts as paper from narcological clinic, paper on retirement savings, paper on registration as unemployed and abstract on property address definition, while abstract of no criminal record is suggested to be cancelled within the country but it still be needed when visiting foreign countries.  Such measures will help reducing the paper workflow for up to 35 mln documents” D. Bekmanov highlighted.  Paper workflow enables reducing new tools in the eGov Mobile mobile app. Thus, soon, users will be able to share personal information in the app by sending it from eGov Mobile directly to the messengers.  For example, one will be able to share information on residential address by sending it using any convenient option. Those who request this information will get a link from eGov Mobile. It will be possible to share other personal information the same way. Share via QR code is also available. Moreover, third parties can request information from citizens, which they can share by confirming a notification for the request for personal data sent to the app.  Moreover, it will become easier to obtain a digital signature via eGov Mobile. To do this, users will need to submit biometrics (the system will scan a citizen`s identity), answer the questions and indicate a phone number, after which a phone number is registered in the Mobile Citizens Database and digital signature is installed to a telephone. The process will also facilitate registration of e-Gov users via eGov Mobile. Also, within the meeting, the issue was considered on optimization of public services popular among citizens. Representatives from Ministry of Labour and Social Protection of Citizens of RK suggested business processes for reduction of delivery terms for such services as assignment of benefits to large families, benefits for care after the lifelong disabled of the 1st group, payments upon loss of earning capacity, etc. Along with that, business suggestions on integration services on Smart Bridge platform were considered. It is worth reminding that the Interdepartmental Commission meetings are held with participation of digital commissars, who also shared their views on the discussed issues.2020-09-18T14:59:00/uploads/2020/9/18/4e2ecd427460f4ccf7f27f26e9b15282_original.271189.jpgdelitsya-svedeniyami-vmesto-spravok-stanet-vozmozhnym-cherez-egov-mobileFalse[mdai, kgu]E-government and public services (ID: 7) 40395В работе Международного экспертного совета по цифровизации Казахстана, прошедшего под председательством Министра цифрового развития, инноваций и аэрокосмической промышленности РК Аскара Жумагалиева, приняли участие эксперты Всемирного Банка, Amazon Web Services, Государственной цифровой службы Великобритании (GDS), компании IDC в России и СНГ, ЭСКАТО и другие. Основными темами обсуждения стали достижения Казахстана в сфере внедрения «умных» технологий, перспективы эффективной работы с Big Data и вопросы дальнейшего развития сферы искусственного интеллекта. Эксперты Совета сошлись во мнении, что развивать искусственный интеллект – это требование времени, и работу в этом направлении государственный и частный секторы должны проводить совместно, особое внимание при этом уделяя кибербезопасности. По итогам заседания эти и ряд других конкретных рекомендаций, были оформлены в единый документ. «Работа Международного экспертного Совета имеет для нас большое значение. Немало инициатив, в своё время озвученных здесь, было нами реализовано, и сегодня эти проекты реально помогают нам активно продвигать цифровизацию в стране. Так и на этот раз, все высказанные Вами сегодня предложения, мы тщательно проанализируем и уверен, что большая часть из предложений будет взята в работу», - подчеркнул Аскар Жумагалиев. Отметим, что это девятое по счету заседание Совета и многие цифровые решения уже реализованные в Казахстане были рекомендованы на предыдущих заседаниях МЭС. К таким проектам можно отнести «Smart Data Ukimet», «Smart Bridge», внедрение проактивных услуг, к примеру по рождению ребенка и т.д. В этот же день Аскар Жумагалиев провел ряд двусторонних переговоров, в их числе встречи с директором Государственной цифровой службы Великобритании (GDS) – Крисом Фергюсоном и Директором по трансформации правительства в Amazon Web Services, Лиамом Максвеллом. Стороны детально обсудили вопросы создания новых совместных «умных» проектов, подготовки квалифицированных кадров для цифровой экономики, и дальнейшего развития электронного правительства.2020-01-31T00:00:00/uploads/2020/1/31/f2e33ee4c9296cecdb73c3ff1a82d3f0_original.2791135.JPGperspektivy-razvitiya-iskusstvennogo-intellekta-v-kazahstane-obsudili-na-zasedanii-mezhdunarodnogo-ekspertnogo-sovetaProspects of artificial intelligence development in Kazakhstan were discussed at the meeting of the International Expert CounciNone[mdai]Innovations (ID: 9) 395752020-01-22T00:00:00/uploads/2020/1/22/5c2e34bb1d1b3e6a3b6b2787c7ef18d4_original.87948.jpgv-kazahstane-sostavlen-reyting-umnyh-regionovMinistry of Defense and Aerospace Industry of the Republic of Kazakhstan public servicesNone[mdai]Innovations (ID: 9) 39364Нововведение предлагается к внедрению в проекте приказа Министра цифрового развития, инноваций и аэрокосмической промышленности РК «Об утверждении Правил оказания государственной услуги «Регистрация, учет и выдача разрешения на проведение аэросъемочных работ» и признании утратившими силу некоторых приказов и их структурных элементов в сфере геодезии и картографии».

Во встрече приняли участие резервисты, работающие в сферах цифровизации и IT, связи, а также космических технологий. «Сегодня мы с вами встретились для того, чтобы поговорить о ваших идеях и планах, чтобы найти общие точки соприкосновения и продумать возможности для совместной работы. Есть резервисты, которых мы уже приняли на работу, ещё около 10 кандидатов сейчас мы изучаем для того, что назначить на ответственные позиции. В целом, мы видим в вас большой потенциал, ваш «запал», и здоровую  амбициозность, поэтому готовы предоставить вам условия для реализации идей, в таких важнейших сферах, как цифровизация, телекоммуникации и космос», - отметил Аскар Жумагалиев. По словам Министра, резервисты прошли большой путь, и вложенные ими усилия, открывают перед ними множество возможностей для дальнейшего развития и применения их высокого уровня профессионализма в работе во благо страны. Напомним, в стране сформирован молодежный президентский кадровый резерв, в который прошли отбор 300 человек. Инициатива о формировании кадрового резерва являлась одним из ключевых пунктов предвыборной программы Президента страны Касым-Жомарта Токаева.

Трудовую деятельность начал в качестве инженера в 1994 году, в дальнейшем занимал руководящие должности в частном и квазигосударственном секторах, а также в министерствах и ведомствах Республики Казахстан: заведующий сектором науки и инновационной деятельности Канцелярии Премьер-Министра РК; заместитель Председателя Аэрокосмического комитета МОН РК; Президент АО «НК «Казкосмос»; Председатель Правления АО «НК «Казкосмос»; директор Департамента технологического и инновационного развития МИР РК; Президент АО «НК «Қазақстан Ғарыш Сапары»; вице-министр цифрового развития, инноваций и аэрокосмической промышленности РК.  Он сменил на этом посту Марата Нургужина, который был освобожден от должности вице-министра цифрового развития, инноваций и аэрокосмической промышленности, в связи с переходом на другую работу.2019-12-30T00:00:00/uploads/2020/1/6/00d0cdc00e0b658839862d688fec4b65_original.97476.jpgazamat-batyrkozha-naznachen-vice-ministrom-cifrovogo-razvitiya-innovaciy-i-aerokosmicheskoy-promyshlennosti-rkAzamat Batyrkozha appointed Deputy Minister of Digital Development, Innovation and Aerospace Industry of KazakhstanNone[mdai, kazcosmos] 35922Очередное заседание межведомственной комиссии прошло в Министерстве цифрового развития, инноваций и аэрокосмической промышленности РК. На рассмотрение членов комиссии была представлена 41 госуслуга. 13 неактуальных и невостребованных услуг было рекомендовано исключить из существующего реестра, а еще 15 услуг было предложено перевести в электронный формат, в том числе объединить тесно связанные между собой. В числе автоматизируемых услуг – получение справки 086/у. После утверждения предложенной процедуры, человек сможет получать её на портале электронного правительства моментально через портал eGov на основании результатов прохождения обязательного медицинского осмотра. Справка будет снабжена специальным QR-кодом, благодаря которому можно будет проверить подлинность документа. Пользоваться такой электронной справкой можно будет в течение года после её получения. Вместе с тем, обсудили участники заседания и свой план действий в связи с недавно утвержденными Президентом страны поправками в законодательство об оказании государственных услуг. Для того, чтобы этот закон начал работать в полную силу нужно принять ещё около 400 нормативных документов. Учитывая высокую социальную значимость закона, Аскар Жумагалиев напомнил представителям государственных органов о необходимости более оперативного принятия этих подзаконных актов. Отметим, что именно в этом законе внедрены такие понятия, как «проактивное» и «композитное» оказание государственных услуг. То есть это подход, когда государство само предлагает гражданину получить услугу в той или иной жизненной ситуации, а также дает возможность получить целый ряд сопутствующих услуг, написав при этом лишь одно заявление. «В пилотном режиме, мы уже оказываем ряд услуг композитно и проактивно. И этот подход, уже показал свою эффективность. Поэтому, коллеги, прошу вас максимально ускориться с принятием соответствующих подзаконных актов. Принятие этих поправок имеет принципиальное значение, потому что тогда получение госуслуг для граждан станет ещё более комфортным и оперативным», - подчеркнул Аскар Жумагалиев. О проводимой работе по автоматизации и оптимизации госуслуг на заседании комиссии доложились представители министерств труда и социальной защиты населения, сельского хозяйства, здравоохранения, а также культуры и спорта.2019-12-04T00:00:00/uploads/2019/12/5/491b02f46de04bfb3da26173588ab451_original.231967.jpguproshchenie-procedury-okazaniya-9-gosuslug-rassmotreno-na-zasedanii-mezhvedomstvennoy-komissiiSimplification of the procedure of rendering 9 public services was considered at the meeting of the interdepartmental commission.None[mdai, kgu]E-government and public services (ID: 7) 438Қазақстан Республикасының Қорғаныс министрлігі «Astana Hub» ІТ – стартап халықаралық технопарк алаңында  «Цифрлық армия» күнін ұйымдастырды.
