Nursultan Kabylkas designed the first chip in Kazakhstan, and in the process he bootstrapped a new national industry.

> Through a partnership with a Chinese fab, the team got space on Multi-Project Wafer (MPW) and received back their RISC-V general purpose processor. The project went viral, the media caught on, and the project gained national attention.

Kudos. But very expectedly it was a Chinese fab.
