On October 8, 2025, the Aktobe Region Governor (Akim) met with young scientists. The meeting was attended by young researchers working on projects in energy, ecology, digitalization, agriculture, and medical technology.
Baishev University reps (PhDs: Zh. Daev, V. Balmagambetova, N.. Saytbekov, as well as Zh. Kalybekova, the BU Department of Science and Innovation Director) participated in the meeting.
The participants presented their developments and proposals aimed at improving production efficiency, natural resources rational use and the renewable energy development.
To advance science and innovation, a Regional Scientific Council, approved by the regional Akim, was established under the regional government (Akimat) in September 2024. It has included 11 leading scientists. The council became a platform for developing scientific and practical solutions, supporting young researchers, and identifying areas for innovation to implement.
The meeting focused on integrating business and science, commercializing scientific ideas, and attracting additional investment in knowledge-intensive industries. The regional governor instructed relevant departments to develop support mechanisms for young regional researchers – from grants to organizing internships at local companies. Plans also call for expanding the network of both technology parks and business incubators for the youngsters’ startups.
