A warm welcome and friendly atmosphere of Rahat Palace Hotel allowed students and Ablai Yusupov to catch one wave of communication quickly.
Ablai Yusupov said that in life you should never be afraid, but you should start and act. In the context of student initiatives, it is necessary to generate ideas in a team. For example, if you have an idea and you don’t know how viable the idea is, you can call your friends and offer them this idea for implementation. They will be able to criticize or support, assessing the situation appropriately.
In information technology, there are many opportunities for implementation. A huge number of StartUp-, Accelerator-, Incubator-programs are available for students and for young people in general, where you can try out your idea and evaluate a long-term initiative of the project. To do this, you should keep in touch with friends, get on well with students, and if the opportunity does not come to you, then create this opportunity yourself” said a student of Software and Computer Science.
It is also important to understand that in the context of globalization, markets have to be able to adapt quickly. AlmaU School of Entrepreneurship and Innovation educates a generation that will make strategic decisions in Kazakhstan, will develop different industries, fulfill the mission of our school, passing on the best practices to future entrepreneurs.
