President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, speaking at an award ceremony for scientists, outlined a key development benchmark for the country — the transition to a knowledge-based economy, where scientific capital becomes a major factor in the state’s international standing. The Head of State emphasized increased funding for science, the importance of artificial intelligence, and the need for practical outcomes from research.

Rustem Mustafin, a staff member of the Institute, shared his views in an interview with inbusiness.kz on the key messages addressed to the scientific community and how these new priorities are already influencing the development of science in Kazakhstan.
