Positive Futurologist on What Kazakhstan’s Future Holds and New Economic Model for World

In an engaging interview with The Astana Times, positive futurologist and author Ron Immink highlighted Kazakhstan’s strategic location in a shifting global order, seeing it as ideally placed to act as a cultural and economic bridge between East and West. He emphasized Kazakhstan’s potential to be a "cultural middleware" for Central Asia, likening its relational strengths to the Irish.

Turning to climate change, Immink advocated for education reform to prepare youth for complex environmental issues beyond carbon. He shared his "future framing" approach, drawing on curated insights from sources like Stanford University to stay adaptable to rapid technological advances. He also observed a shift in startup culture from profit-centric to impact-focused, driven by younger generations motivated by purpose and societal good.

Ron Immink was among the keynote speakers at the CONNECTED-2024, an international conference in the Kazakh capital, on Oct. 18-19, 2024.
