AIU – STRATEGIC PARTNER OF FIRST SOCIAL HUB IN KAZAKHSTAN

Social entrepreneurship plays a key role in the development of society by combining innovation, business approaches, and social responsibility. A significant step in this direction was the creation of an exclusive zone of Astana International University (AIU) within the Social Hub. This space will become the epicenter of joint projects, educational programs, and innovations aimed at preparing a new generation of social entrepreneurs.

According to Emin Askerov, the founder of Social Enterprise Hub, the partnership between the university and the Hub is not just about resource exchange but a powerful multiplier of social impact. AIU, as an intellectual leader, provides a scientific foundation and expertise, while the Hub serves as a testing ground for turning ideas into real projects. This integration allows students and entrepreneurs to work hand in hand, creating solutions that positively transform society.

AIU's support goes beyond traditional education—the university actively contributes to the development of the Hub, fostering an environment for experimentation, collaboration, and knowledge exchange. This approach not only educates students but also helps build an ecosystem where ideas evolve into real social projects. By bringing together аcademic community and practitioners, AIU and the Hub will serve as catalysts for positive change in Kazakhstan.
