1. Mission and Strategic Purpose

The mission of the Technopark is to establish and develop an innovation ecosystem at ALT named after M. Tynyshpaev, focused on solving applied and fundamental challenges of the Transport and Logistics Complex (TLC) of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

The Technopark serves as a strategic bridge between academia, scientific research, and real industry needs. Its key purpose is to become a catalyst for the commercialization of scientific developments, a hub for technological startups, and a critical link in preparing highly qualified specialists for the digital transformation of the sector.

2. Key Objectives of the Technopark

To achieve its mission, the Technopark focuses on the following strategic objectives:

Stimulating R&D:
Initiating and supporting research and development (R&D) aimed at creating breakthrough technologies in transportation, logistics, and supply chain management.

Acceleration and Incubation:
Providing an enabling (infrastructural and expert) environment for startup teams and small innovative enterprises at all development stages — from the idea stage (pre-seed) to scaling (scale-up).

Technology Transfer and Commercialization:
Facilitating the transfer of technologies from academia to industry (B2G, B2B) and ensuring the protection of intellectual property (IP).

Human Capital Development:
Organizing upskilling programs, training sessions, and masterclasses aimed at developing digital and entrepreneurial competencies among students, researchers, and industry specialists.

Social and Environmental Initiatives:
Supporting projects focused on sustainable development goals (SDGs), “green” logistics, and enhancing social responsibility in the sector.

4. Expected Impact and Contribution

The ALT Technopark named after M. Tynyshpaev is expected to become a key element of the national science-industrial cluster in the transport and logistics sector. Its successful performance will contribute to:

• Increasing the competitiveness of Kazakhstan’s transport-logistics industry through the implementation of domestic innovative solutions;
• Creating high-tech jobs and retaining talent within the country;
• Increasing university off-budget revenues through the commercialization of intellectual property results;
• Strengthening strategic synergy based on the “education – science – industry” model.
