From January 31 to February 1, 2025, Almaty hosted the VII International Digital Forum, Digital Almaty 2025, bringing together over 40,000 participants, including more than 200 speakers and thought leaders from various countries. The main theme of the forum was "Industrial AI: Technologies of a New Era", with a focus on the integration of artificial intelligence into industry, finance, healthcare, and education.

Digital Almaty has traditionally been the largest platform in Central Asia for discussing digital solutions and government IT strategies. This year, the forum gathered over 40,000 attendees, including representatives of international technology companies, venture capital funds, government agencies, and industry experts.

As part of the forum, TechnoGroupService LLP presented InTech-Forecast—an AI-powered platform for forecasting electricity generation at renewable energy facilities. Based on meteorological data analysis, solar and wind activity, the platform provides highly accurate forecasts, enabling optimal energy management and production predictions for more than three days ahead.

Over the two-day event, the InTech-Forecast booth attracted significant interest among forum participants. Representatives of the company conducted six interviews with leading media outlets, highlighting the technology’s potential for Kazakhstan’s energy sector and beyond.

Participation in such forums plays a key role in promoting innovative solutions and strengthening the position of renewable energy in the global agenda.

As we welcome the Year of the Snake, we extend our heartfelt wishes for a prosperous and successful year ahead. May this year bring your business steady growth, fruitful opportunities, and impactful partnerships. 

May success follow your endeavors, and your efforts lead to lasting achievements. Let this year be a time of innovation, collaboration, and continued excellence!

In January of this year, a herd of saiga antelopes was spotted grazing on the grounds of the 10 MW "Kengir" solar power plant, located near Zhezkazgan. This moment highlights the ecological value of the project and its alignment with the principles of sustainable development.

Saiga Antelopes: A Story of Recovery

In the early 2000s, saiga antelopes were on the brink of extinction and were listed in Kazakhstan’s Red Book of endangered species. Thanks to the Altyn Dala Conservation Initiative—a finalist for the prestigious Earthshot Prize established by Prince William—their population has surged to 2.86 million by 2023. This remarkable recovery is one of the greatest success stories in wildlife conservation. The Altyn Dala Conservation Initiative operates in partnership with the Association for the Conservation of Biodiversity of Kazakhstan (ACBK) and the Committee for Forestry and Wildlife.

Harmony Between Green Energy and Nature

The "Kengir" solar power plant is not only a source of clean energy but also a prime example of how green technologies can coexist in harmony with nature. The presence of saiga antelopes on the plant’s grounds demonstrates that environmentally responsible projects support biodiversity and contribute to the preservation of the region’s unique wildlife.

As we step into a brand-new year, we reflect on the milestones we've achieved together and the exciting opportunities that lie ahead. Here's to another year of growth, collaboration, and innovation! 

We wish you and your loved ones a year filled with success, happiness, and new beginnings. Let’s continue building a sustainable and brighter future together! 

For a Blue Sky and a Green Future!
