ConclusionConclusion
Kazakhstan can leapfrog into an “Innovative Modus”
Innovation comes from Innovative Companies – a new Culture must be created to endorse innovation
Innovation comes from young people taking risks – this is an immediate “captive opportunity”
Ideas that challenge established models and frames require capital -“seed and private equity” must get into the innovative loop
- ….with some help and co-operation from countries with a longer experience in making innovation happen.
