Firebird and the Government of Kazakhstan Sign Strategic Agreements to Advance National AI Infrastructure

ArmInfo Firebird Inc. today announced the signing of strategic cooperation agreements with the Government of Kazakhstan aimed at supporting the development of national next-generation artificial intelligence infrastructure, advanced computing capacity, and a globally competitive digital AI ecosystem.

 

The discussions and signing of cooperation agreements were held in Astana with the participation of Prime Minister of the Republic of Kazakhstan Olzhas Bektenov, Vice President of Omniverse and Simulation Technology at NVIDIA Rev Lebaredian, Firebird Co-Founders Razmig Hovaghimian and Alexander Yesayan, senior officials of the Government and representatives of the country's leading technology organizations.

 

The cooperation establishes a foundation for future collaboration in AI infrastructure, advanced computing systems, cloud technologies, research initiatives, and digital economy development. It supports Kazakhstan’s ambition to strengthen its position as a leading technology and innovation hub in Central Eurasia.

 

The agreements follow a high-level meeting earlier this year between President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, NVIDIA Vice President of Global AI Infrastructure Growth Nico Caprez, and Firebird Co-Founders, where the parties discussed opportunities for collaboration in the design, construction, and operation of large-scale next-generation computing platforms.

 

“Countries that invest today in advanced AI computing capacity, talent development, and innovation ecosystems will shape the economic opportunities of tomorrow. Firebird combines proven deployment experience with cutting edge U.S. technology stack, deep partnerships across the global AI ecosystem, and the ability to execute large-scale AI infrastructure projects securely, with exceptional speed. We are proud to support Kazakhstan's vision and look forward to helping build long-term national AI capacity,” said Razmig Hovaghimian.

 

"Artificial intelligence is becoming the new foundational infrastructure of the global economy. To develop our own AI solutions, individual digital products are not enough: a holistic ecosystem is needed, encompassing energy, modern data centers, computing power, data, and access to advanced technologies. Kazakhstan is consistently building such a foundation. Our goal is to transform the country's infrastructural advantages into a long-term driver of economic growth and strengthen Kazakhstan's position as one of the key digital hubs in Eurasia," noted Zhaslan Madiyev, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Development of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

 

Firebird is currently completing the first phase of its flagship AI Factory in Armenia, scheduled to become operational in July 2026. Developed from initial construction to deployment readiness in just over six months, the project represents one of the fastest AI infrastructure rollouts of its kind globally. Under Firebird’s approved three-phase expansion strategy, the platform is designed to scale beyond 100,000 NVIDIA Blackwell and Vera Rubin GPUs by the end of 2027, creating one of the world’s largest AI computing platforms.

 

Firebird's experience demonstrates that large-scale AI infrastructure projects can be successfully delivered through collaboration between governments, technology companies, financial institutions, and research communities.

 

Firebird is not just building data centers. The company creates national AI capacity that allows countries to participate in the AI economy at global scale.
