A very important feature of the Digital Bridge forum is that we give participants the opportunity to hold half-hour 1: 1 B2B meetings with potential partners, investors, start-ups. These meetings will be pre-moderated using a special mobile application. Soon in social bridge accounts on social networks we announce the application itself and post links for downloading.
Overall, as Dinara Shcheglova noted, the results of the Digital Bridge Forum are expected to be expressed in attracting international IT start-ups and investors to Astana Hub, in sharing digitalization experience with various countries and in the opportunity to meet potential business partners or future employees to promote IT growth. -sector
