Bakai Bank has been named the winner of the “AI for Business” category at KIT AWARDS 2025, the country’s premier technology award presented during KIT Forum — the largest IT forum in Kyrgyzstan. The winning project, BusinessGPT, is a digital assistant developed to support entrepreneurs and small businesses.
The KIT awards ceremony took place on May 30 in Bishkek, as part of the KIT Forum, which brought together over 3,000 participants, 60+ speakers from 10 countries, and dozens of panel discussions and presentations focused on innovation, digitalization, and the use of artificial intelligence across industries — from education to finance.
Bakai Bank earned the top spot in the "AI for Business" category for its BusinessGPT solution — a conversational AI assistant designed to help small and medium-sized businesses access financial insights, get tailored recommendations, and interact with banking products through an intuitive dialogue format.
“BusinessGPT is more than just a technology — it’s our contribution to building a smarter business environment in Kyrgyzstan. We believe AI can be a real partner for entrepreneurs, and recognition from the community validates the direction we’re heading,” said representatives from the Bakai Bank team.
KIT Forum is the leading technology event in Kyrgyzstan, attracting experts from the U.S., Germany, Japan, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan. Forum topics covered a wide range of areas including AI in education, fintech, the public sector, GameDev, and the startup ecosystem.
This victory at KIT AWARDS 2025 reaffirms Bakai Bank’s leadership in digital innovation and its long-term strategy of integrating AI solutions into everyday banking services.
