The Autonomous Cluster Fund "Park of Innovative Technologies", operating under the Tech Garden brand, became the winner of the grant program "Consortia of the Production Sector: Centers of Competence". Within the framework of this program, the Center for Engineering Competencies in the Field of Industrial Robotics and Robotics will be organized at Al-Farabi Kazakh National University, which can be considered as a model factory of Industry 4.0, El.kz reports with reference to the press service of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

This important step will make it possible to organize and develop the Center for Engineering Competencies in the Field of Industrial Robotics and Robotics, which will be based in Almaty at the Al-Farabi Kazakh National University.
