Deputy Director of the PMU of the Fostering Productive Innovation Project Zhanat Baitenov commented on the President's Message for the BNews Agency.
In his message to the people of Kazakhstan, the Head of State sets the pace and motivates citizens to develop so that our republic enters the 30 developed countries, said Zhanat Baitenov, Deputy Director of PMU of the Fostering Productive Innovation Project.
"Industrial revolution is the transition from manual labor to machine labor, from manufacture to factory, which was observed in the world leading states in the 18th and 19centuries. Looking back, I remember how, being as student I studied the history of industrial revolutions. I remember how interesting it was to listen to lectures about the leading countries, about various breakthroughs in the economy, such as the steam engine, electric telegraph, etc.," said Zhanat Baitenov.
Commenting on the Address of the Head of State, in particular, the item "New opportunities for development under the conditions of the Fourth Industrial Revolution," the speaker singled out the following six points: Industrialization should become a flagship of introducing new technologies; further development of resource potential; "smart technologies" are a chance for a breakthrough in development of the agro-industrial complex; introduction of modern technologies in construction and municipal sector; "reset" the financial sector; human capital is the basis of modernization.
"These six items I cut out of the context of the entire Address as very important points indicating that Kazakhstan is an integral part of the global ecosystem as a whole. In today's realities it is important to keep pace with time. On the World Bank's Project I supervise the issues related to technology commercialization and strengthening of coordination of the National Innovation System. The amount of work is incredibly large, the project itself is very complex. But it gives a certain tone. The Head of State sets the pace and motivates us to develop, so that Kazakhstan can enter the 30 developed countries. The Plan of the Nation "100 concrete steps," "Kazakhstan-2050" Strategy , the Third Modernization of Kazakhstan launched last year, Industrialization Program is being implemented, and a comprehensive program "Digital Kazakhstan" has been adopted. We already have everything we need, now we have to work hard to develop our state, "said Zhanat Baitenov.
