Кремниевая долина остается одним из главных центров мировой технологической индустрии, а искусственный интеллект формирует новую волну стартапов и инвестиций.

Дарш Сингх Манн, руководитель направления развития бизнеса и партнерств StartX, рассказал The Tech, что сейчас происходит в Кремниевой долине, какие проекты привлекают внимание и чего не хватает фаундерам из Казахстана для выхода на рынок США.

Для казахстанских фаундеров доступ к сообществу StartX открывает платиновое соглашение между StartX и Nazarbayev University Science & Technology Park, входящим в экосистему NU Impact Foundation. Партнерство дает стартапам из Казахстана и Центральной Азии возможность пройти отбор в программу акселерации StartX, работать с международными менторами и выстраивать связи с инвесторами, партнерами и потенциальными клиентами в Кремниевой долине. Это помогает командам подготовиться к выходу на рынок США и сформировать профессиональную сеть для дальнейшего роста.
