The High Technology Park of the Kyrgyz Republic (HTP) will take part in CES 2026. The Kyrgyz Republic is a country where artificial intelligence, digital health, blockchain technologies, and large-scale IT exports are already being built and scaled for global markets.
At Booth 50265, the Kyrgyz delegation will showcase technology companies delivering AI products, telemedicine platforms, blockchain infrastructure and software development services for clients worldwide.
A Country Building Technology for Global Markets
The Kyrgyz Republic has become one of the fastest-growing technology exporters in its region. In 2024, Kyrgyz IT specialists provided services to clients in more than 63 countries, generating $130 million in IT exports.
The United States ranked first, accounting for around 40% of total exports, with an export volume exceeding $50 million, including cooperation with companies in Silicon Valley. Over the past five years, the country’s IT exports have grown 45-fold, marking a structural shift toward high-value digital services and proprietary technology development.
HTP brings together a network of 500 software development companies and 3,000 developers, ready to meet the full range of client needs.
KaniTTS – Open-Source Breakthrough in Real-Time Voice AI
KaniTTS is an open-source text-to-speech (TTS) model redefining real-time, human-like voice generation. Developed by the AI startup NineNineSix, KaniTTS matches the performance of leading commercial voice models from OpenAI, Google, Microsoft, and Hume AI, while remaining fully open and free under the Apache 2.0 license.
Since its release, KaniTTS has been downloaded over 15,000 times on Hugging Face, drawing international attention for its combination of speed, expressivity, and accessibility. The model is capable of generating 15 seconds of natural speech in just 1 second on a consumer-grade NVIDIA RTX 5080 GPU, enabling true real-time performance without cloud-scale infrastructure.
The base model currently supports eight languages:
English, German, Korean, Arabic, Chinese, Spanish, Kyrgyz and Japanese.
Kyrgyz Whisper – Open-Source Speech Recognition for Underrepresented Languages
In parallel, NineNineSix, together with the High Technology Park of the Kyrgyz Republic has released Kyrgyz Whisper – an open-source automatic speech recognition (ASR) model fine-tuned on OpenAI’s Whisper to deliver native speech recognition for Kyrgyz, Russian, and English.
Performance highlights:
Kyrgyz: Word Error Rate improved from approximately 100% to 0.2 WER
English & Russian: Stable performance with minor trade-offs to prioritise Kyrgyz accuracy
Both variants support LoRA fine-tuning, enabling domain adaptation and further improvements.
Blockchain, Crypto & Digital Finance
The delegation also includes Blockchain Data, a blockchain technology company developing digital infrastructure and crypto-related solutions.
The Kyrgyz Republic has recently completed a major milestone in the digital finance sector with the launch of its national stablecoin, KGST, pegged 1:1 to the Kyrgyz som. KGST complies with international KYC/AML standards, features multi-level authentication, and has completed technical testing for deployment on both regional and global crypto platforms.
According to the Chainalysis Global Crypto Adoption Index, the Kyrgyz Republic ranks 19th globally in cryptocurrency usage, reflecting an active, regulated and rapidly developing crypto ecosystem.
Hi Doctor – AI Telemedicine Built by a Claricing Physician
Hi Doctor is an AI-powered telemedicine and clinical decision-support platform founded by Nursultan Masalbekov, a diagnostic physician. The product emerged from real clinical practice, where the lack of digital tools forced doctors to spend excessive time on documentation instead of patient care.
The platform combines AI-driven analysis of clinical data, a voice assistant for medical documentation, and telemedicine tools, including NORAi, which analyzes patients’ vital signs during video consultations. Hi Doctor is actively used by doctors and medical institutions across Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan.
In multiple cases, AI-supported recommendations contributed to the early detection of HIV, cardiomyopathies, oncological and genetic conditions, later confirmed through laboratory testing – demonstrating the platform’s real clinical impact.
