Kazakh startup WeGlobal AI is expanding into
international markets and has been highly praised abroad. In particular, its
EdTech project supporting students’ mental well-being and helping teenagers
with career guidance has attracted interest from educational institutions in
the UK. The team is ready to adapt the startup to local requirements and launch
pilot projects not only for British schoolchildren but also in the United
States. The team is now focusing on international partnerships, especially as
global demand for such AI solutions continues to grow.
«Abroad, we are currently working in three directions.
The first is Central Asia, for example, Uzbekistan, where we have met with
representatives of relevant organizations and schools. Our second focus is the
UK. On January 21, our team attended the Bett UK Show, an exhibition dedicated
to education technology startups, where we held discussions with
representatives from various countries. Our third focus is the U.S.. We have applied to two
major accelerators, Y Combinator and StartX, and through these accelerators we
aim to enter the U.S. market,» said Yasmin Assylbek, Head of the Communications Department.
The digital platform developed in Kazakhstan has no
global analogues and is now building the largest digital ecosystem to support
schoolchildren. It combines AI, analytics, and psychological expertise. Through
WeGlobal AI, students can report bullying, work through issues with a
psychologist, and choose a profession that matches their interests and aptitudes.
Today, the project has been implemented in more than 1,000 schools across the
country, reaching over half a million students. In addition, the platform
provides training for specialists through online and offline seminars.
«Essentially, the platform for psychological support and career guidance also offers full technical assistance. Most service-related questions come from school psychologists, many of whom belong to the older generation. To make it easier for them to ask questions and receive answers, we create WhatsApp groups,» noted Chief Implementation Officer Daniyar Kamal.
The developers plan to expand the platform’s interface
and increase the number of participating schools to 2,000 nationwide this year.
