From idea to company,
one rung at a time
Incubator, accelerator, hackathons and residency at KazNU. Applications are open — we read them every week.
1. Incubator
Idea → prototype: methodology, KazNU experts, first hypotheses.
2. Accelerator
Prototype → sales: tracking, mentors, access to customers and pilots.
3. Hackathons
A fast way to test yourself: 48 hours, real problems, a shot at our programs.
4. A desk for equity
Residency at the hub for teams we believe in.
Science next door, selection on merit
KazNU R&D base
University labs, research groups and student talent — a short walk from your desk.
Robotics and hardware
Engineering benches for projects that need more than a laptop.
Incubation certificate
Graduates get proof of incubation — a document that works for grants and competitions.
Application → interview → committee

Three steps, and the draft saves itself — you can come back to it.

FAQ
Do I need a finished product?
No. The incubator takes teams at the idea stage; the accelerator works with a prototype or first users. Name your real stage and we will match the program.
How much does it cost?
Programs are free for selected teams. The desk-for-equity format is agreed case by case at the committee.
Can I edit my application?
The draft saves in your browser automatically. Once you have submitted, write to us — we can update it until the deadline.
What is the R&D base?
KazNU labs and research groups plus the engineering benches of the hub — for projects that need hardware and science.
