Delegation of the Government of the Republic of Sakha in AlmaU

On January 24, 2023, delegation from the government of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) visited AlmaU. The delegation headed by the Minister of Innovation, Digital Development and Infocommunication Technologies of the Republic of Sakha Anatoly Askalonovich was attended by Director of the Innovation Development Fund of the Republic of Sakha Vasily Vasilyevich, Deputy Director of the Innovation Development Fund of the Republic of Sakha Vera Ptitsyna, General Director of the Joint Stock Company "Corporation for the Development of the Republic of Sakha" Afanasy Afanasyevich , Director of the Department for the Development of the Creative Economy Svetlana Alekseevna and Deputy General Director of the State Autonomous Institution "Technopark" Yakutia Nadezhda Nikolaevna.

As part of the visit, a tour of the AlmaU campus was organized for the guests. They got acquainted with the Jalingua studio, the Neuromarketing laboratory and partner`s hub Qaynar Bulaq Almaty, as well as acquaintance with the academic block and other departments of the university.

Ideas were discussed and interesting networking took place.

“Unlike government companies, you respond very quickly to market needs. Trends from cinema and tourism, with digitalization, this can be seen. Everything you said resonates in my soul, because we are also moving in this direction, it is very important, and, well, it is in demand among children and youth. Still, they follow the trends, they want the same in IT, and you do it with high quality. And I really liked the idea of collaborating with Kazakhfilm. Indeed, why buy equipment when everything is there and everything is done directly in production by hand. And I think this is probably the best practice. The university has a very correct approach,” said Anatoly Semyonov, Minister of Innovation, Digital Development and Infocommunication Technologies of the Republic of Sakha.

“We are open to any proposal. Everyone who wants to work with us, they are responsible for the material base, and we are responsible for the know-how. Many in education believe that the most important building. The building is the latest. Of course, it's good when she's good. But you can do a lot with a bad building. And if there is no inner life, if the strategy is wrong, the content is wrong, there are no teachers, there is no management who understands the tasks, let's say to be close to business. A very important task of entrepreneurial universities, nothing will work out even with the most beautiful building, ”said AlmaU President Asylbek Kozhakhmetov.

Asylbek Kozhakhmetov told the guests of honor about the book “In search of an effective model of a Kazakhstani university”, where 12 universities share their experience and vision of the development of the educational sphere. The President of AlmaU presented the Russian-English version of the book to the Minister of Innovation, Digital Development and Infocommunication Technologies of the Republic of Sakha A. Semenov.

At the end of the meeting, Rector of AlmaU Gulnara Kurenkeyeva and Director of the Innovation Development Fund of the Republic of Sakha Vasily Vasilyevich signed a memorandum of cooperation.
