JazzWorld, the digital and technology arm of Jazz (a VEON group company), has signed a landmark Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Kazakhstan’s QazCode LLP to boost artificial intelligence (AI) and software exports from Pakistan.
Announced on February 4, 2026, the partnership also involves Teknosys (JazzWorld’s software arm) and Beeline Kazakhstan, aiming to foster joint innovation, digital trade, and regional market access for Pakistani tech solutions.
Accelerating AI-Driven Exports
The collaboration focuses on jointly developing and commercializing AI-powered products tailored for telecom, enterprise, and public-sector applications.
Partners will exchange engineering best practices, establish innovation pipelines, and explore advanced domains like cloud infrastructure, high-performance computing, cybersecurity, and responsible AI. This initiative seeks to create export-ready digital platforms, enabling Pakistani innovations to scale into Central Asia and beyond.
Talent Development and Infrastructure
A key emphasis is on building human capital through joint training programs, research initiatives, staff exchanges, and pilot projects in AI engineering, data science, and product management. The partnership includes plans for joint R&D labs, testbeds, and proof-of-concept deployments to translate ideas into commercial success quickly.
Governance and Long-Term Commitment
A Joint Steering Committee will oversee strategic priorities, monitor progress, and meet quarterly to ensure accountability and measurable impact. All activities will adhere to data protection, cybersecurity, and regulatory standards in both countries. The MoU is set for an initial three-year term, with potential for expansion via project-specific agreements.
