Speaker testimonials
Pascal Mayer
2022 Breakthrough Prize Winner in Life Sciences
An incredible, large-scale educational event!

One of the best conferences of my life!

I’m very glad that Kazakhstan managed to create such an important gathering — one that many countries can only dream of.
Bravo!
Takaaki Kajita
2015 Nobel Prize Laureate in Physics
Nobel Fest ensures equal access to science.

Thanks to Nobel Fest, participants develop an interest in scientific research, which is the key to the progress of nations and humanity.
Tim Draper
American venture capital investor, and founder of Draper Fisher Jurvetson
The Nobel Fest is a vital event for the development of education, science, and most importantly — innovation!
It sparks new ideas and inspires groundbreaking discoveries
Luc Julia
Creator of Siri (Apple) and Chief Scientific Officer at Renault Group
For me, the Nobel Festival is an example of a democratic and open platform that allows people to exchange ideas and visions about the future of technology and humanity in a very accessible and constructive format.
Jeffrey Sachs
Renowned economist and Professor at Columbia University
Ten or twenty years from now, today’s students will say: ‘I received my Nobel Prize because I once had the chance to take part in the Nobel Fest!’


I believe Nobel Fest is a tremendous initiative that we must strengthen together with major corporations, the telecommunications industry, the UN, and others to provide access to the world’s best knowledge.
