During the international Digital Bridge 2025 forum in Astana, the Startup Battle featured several promising projects, with the Kazakhstani startup CYBERPACK.AI drawing special attention from the panel. After the team finished their presentation, Telegram founder Pavel Durov voluntarily awarded them an additional grant of USD 25,000.

Yesterday, I received a call from Astana Hub. They told me: ‘Durov liked the project, and he wanted to give a personal award, and he asked for the company’s bank account details, shared the project’s director, Sabyrzham Mustafin.

The team shared that they intend to use this money to develop the project’s AI module, scale their work, and enter the global market.

CYBERPACK.AI is an educational platform that combines a mobile application, a web platform, and a STEAM construction kit. The project helps school students develop engineering thinking, learn technology, and create their own scientific designs.
