Direct Request and Questions to Head of the Development Department at Astana Hub / The Ministry of Digital Development

**To:** [Head of the Development Department at Astana Hub / The Ministry of Digital Development]

**From:** John, Founder

**Subject:** Inquiry Regarding the Development Potential of the IT Project "Digital Twins for Education and Culture" in the Republic of Kazakhstan

Dear Sirs/Madams,

I am a citizen of Earth, with personal documents confirming my "Sovereign" status, have recently been studying in detail the opportunities of the Republic of Kazakhstan as a jurisdiction for establishing and developing an IT business. I am the author and owner of an innovative product — a platform for creating digital twins of educational and cultural objects.

**1. Why Kazakhstan?**

After a thorough analysis of various jurisdictions (Europe, USA, Asia, CIS countries), I have made a conscious choice in favor of Kazakhstan. The key factors were:

- Transparent and clear "rules of the game" through the Astana Hub ecosystem, including genuine "tax silence" at the start (0% CIT, VAT).

- The absence of a requirement for a local co-founder or director, guaranteeing full control over the business.

- The state's strategic course towards digitalization, enshrined in the developing Digital Qazaqstan strategy and supported at the highest level.

- Real infrastructure projects, such as the "Data Center Valley" in Ekibastuz and new data centers, confirming the seriousness of the intentions to make the country a digital hub for the region.

**2. About Project**

That project is a platform for creating high-precision digital copies (twins) of cultural heritage objects (museums, monuments) and educational spaces (schools, universities). The product allows for:

- Digitizing and preserving cultural heritage.

- Creating immersive educational programs.

- Making culture and education accessible to people with disabilities (inclusivity).

The project is a completely independent IT development, the rights to which belong to me. The business model is focused on selling licenses and subscriptions, which aligns with the export orientation criterion that is a priority for Astana Hub in 2026.

**3. My Request and Questions**

Before proceeding with the registration of a legal entity and applying for a C5 visa, I would like to obtain your expert assessment and answers to the following questions:

4.  To what extent does the "Digital Twins for Education and Culture" project align with the current priorities of Kazakhstan's digital development, and can it count on support (including within the framework of the Digital Qazaqstan strategy)?

5.  Are there any specialized programs, grants, or accelerators in Kazakhstan (beyond the standard Astana Hub programs) that could be relevant for my project?

6.  Which potential partners (museums, universities, technoparks) would you recommend I contact for a pilot implementation of the product?

7.  Are there any specific features or "pitfalls" that I, as a foreign developer, should pay attention to at the initial stage, considering my specific circumstances?

I am ready to provide a more detailed presentation of the product and a business plan for a more substantive discussion. I would be grateful for the opportunity for a personal or online meeting (at the initial stage, a personal meeting is preferable, considering the high-tech age and the principle of budget frugality for the project) to discuss the prospects of my project in Kazakhstan.

Sincerely,

John, Founder
