Information technologies of Kazakhstan
It is difficult to fully assess the effectiveness of the implementation of the program “Digital Kazakhstan”, despite the large investments in digitalization, due to the lack of approaches to measure the digital economy. Nevertheless, according to a number of studies and international ratings mentioned in the review, certain initiatives have a good effect and have a positive effect on the economy of Kazakhstan as a whole.
Kazakhstan's economy is the largest in Central Asia. Kazakhstan is rich in mineral resources: the country ranks 12th in the world in oil reserves, 14th in gas reserves; Kazakhstan has 30 % of world reserves of chrome ore and 25 % of manganese ore; there are large reserves of tungsten and molybdenum. The vast territory of the country — Kazakhstan occupies the 9th place in the world by area — provides opportunities to create a strong agro-industrial complex. However, in our time, having a strong resource base alone is not enough for competitiveness on the international level in the economy.
AITAS Holding is the largest innovative holding company in the agro-industrial sector, which includes more than 15 enterprises in the production, processing and distribution of poultry, deli, semi-finished products, sausages and sausage products produced by Makinskaya and Ust-Kamenogorskaya poultry farms under the "Kus&Vkus" and "AMP" brands, as well as crop production with over 32 thousand ha of land. These are enterprises in Akmola, Almaty, East-Kazakhstan and North-Kazakhstan regions, offices in Astana, Almaty and Ust-Kamenogorsk, and about 4.5 thousand employees.
Over the years, the company has become the leading vertically-integrated holding company in poultry production, processing and distribution and is one of the leaders in the agricultural sector in Kazakhstan.
