Eleveight AI at AI & Digital Bridge 2026
From October 1 to October 3, Astana became the focal point of global technology discussion as it hosted AI & Digital Bridge 2026, one of the region's largest technology forums, held at the EXPO International Exhibition Center.
Eleveight AI was present throughout, representing Armenia's AI infrastructure sector as part of the Armenian pavilion.
The Armenian pavilion was organized with UATE's support, where Eleveight AI took part alongside other Armenian technological companies representing the country's growing tech ecosystem.
Few moments could have been more symbolic. With 2026 officially declared Kazakhstan's Year of Digitalization and Artificial Intelligence, and the country accelerating its own AI and digital infrastructure ambitions, the forum surfaced real potential for Armenia–Kazakhstan synergies in compute, talent, and technology partnerships alike. Speaking at the conference, NVIDIA Vice President Rev Lebaredian stated that Armenia and Kazakhstan can become regional hub centers in the field of artificial intelligence, bringing together specialists, computing power, and technology business.
Armenia’s presence went beyond the pavilion. UATE Executive Director Edita Ghazaryan and Tatev Aslanyan, Deputy Minister of High-Tech Industry and Artificial Intelligence, spoke on separate panels, and Armenian Ambassador to Kazakhstan Armen Ghevondyan visited the delegation in Astana.
NVIDIA's presence at the forum reflected the scale of the AI infrastructure conversation taking place, and the seriousness of the discussion around it.
