The Fund implements 62 projects using artificial intelligence. The expected economic effect by 2030 will amount to KZT711 billion. In 2026, portfolio companies have set a KPI - to increase EBITDA by 5% through the introduction of AI.

AI is already being used in pilot mode in key industries.:

  • In the mining sector, the national mining company Tau-Ken Samruk uses an intelligent core analysis system, which automatically detects the presence of mineralization from photographs of samples.

In addition, at the sulfuric acid plant in Stepnogorsk, Samruk-Kazyna Ondeu is implementing a digital twin that predicts equipment operation and will reduce costs by 5-8%, cut equipment downtime by 5% and decrease accidents by 2-3%.

  • The ABAI project is being implemented in the oil and gas industry at KazMunayGas. The flooding control module using AI has already allowed an additional 12 thousand tons of oil to be produced in 2025 with an economic effect of KZT1.5 billion.

All work is carried out in a closed loop on its own Al FARABIUM supercomputer (located in Almaty).
