A new responsibility, a new chapter, and an exciting AI journey ahead.

A great honor to be in the presence of the President of Kazakhstan, H.E. Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, and join Kazakhstan’s Council for the Development of Artificial Intelligence.

Under his leadership, #AI has become a strategic national priority, with Kazakhstan building the institutions, infrastructure, talent, and policies needed for a strong AI ecosystem.

And I'm equally inspired by the leadership of H.E. Zhaslan Madiyev, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Development, and his efforts to turn that ambition into progress.

I look forward to bringing a digital cooperation perspective to the Council and contributing to #Kazakhstan’s remarkable AI journey.

One water value chain. Five challenges. One opportunity to build what’s next. 💧

The need for smarter water systems is becoming increasingly urgent.
🌍 Around 4 billion people experience severe water scarcity for at least part of the year.
💧 Global freshwater withdrawals have increased 14% since 2000.
📉 Urban water supply systems globally lose an estimated 40% of water through non-revenue water.

These are not challenges that infrastructure investment alone can solve. They also require better intelligence: the ability to predict, optimize, detect and respond faster.

That is the opportunity behind #FutureMakers.

We are calling on startups, researchers, technology companies and innovators to develop and validate scalable AI-enabled solutions that can predict risks, optimize operations, reduce water losses, energy consumption, costs and environmental impact, strengthening water security and resilience across Saudi Arabia and DCO Member States.
From efficiency and circularity to resilience, safety and sustainability, find the challenge track where your technology can make an impact.
