Kazakhstan's 16-hour media marathon spotlights innovation and social progress live
A 16-hour online media marathon began at 9:00 AM today, running until 1:00 AM tomorrow. The event will cover social issues, national development, and innovative projects from across Kazakhstan. Viewers can watch live on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Telegram, and the dedicated 'Referendum-2026' channel.
The marathon features five main platforms: the Main Stage, a Talk Show Platform, an Innovation Hub, a Central Communications Hub, and an Express Camera zone. Discussions will focus on artificial intelligence, esports, and creating an inclusive society.
Live reports will come from correspondents in the United States, Russia, Turkey, China, Belgium, and various regions of Kazakhstan. Emergency response teams will also demonstrate new technology, including a firefighting robot and AI-powered robotic dogs.
At the Innovation Hub, local inventors will present projects like the Mainsafe smart glove, a printer ink made from polluted air, and Aleem, a mechanical heart prototype. Other highlights include a new wheelchair design and a smart stadiometer. For the first time, robotic systems developed in Kazakhstan will assist journalists during the event.
Holographic displays will showcase the nation's key achievements. The marathon follows recent success by Kazakhstan's 'Tomiris' women's special forces unit, which competed at the UAE SWAT Challenge 2025 in Dubai. Their 16-member team secured 8th place overall among female teams, excelling in obstacle courses and tactical shooting.
The marathon will run until 1:00 AM, offering a mix of expert discussions, technological demonstrations, and live updates. Viewers can engage with the event across multiple social media platforms, including a dedicated Telegram channel. The showcase highlights both national progress and cutting-edge domestic inventions.
