# Tengri Map

> Turn academic research into working prototypes. Connect regional engineering problems to indigenous academic discoveries, collaborate with paper authors as External Research Mentors, and build venture-ready prototypes.

Tengri Map (https://tengrimap.com/ and https://app.tengrimap.com/) is Eurasia and Central Asia's research-to-innovation platform and builder community (Devs KZ). We bridge the gap between university laboratories (Nazarbayev University ISSAI & NLACS, KBTU, Satbayev University, TUIT), software engineers, and deep-tech startups across Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, and globally.

## Mission & Core Pillars

- **Manifest (` Strictly No Slides `)**: Inspired by the AI Tinkerers format, every Devs KZ & Tengri Demo Night presenter has 5 minutes to demonstrate live running code, terminal traces, or deployed architectures—zero pitch decks permitted.
- **Bounties (` Reverse Hiring & Micro-Grants `)**: Funded DeepTech engineering bounties where startups and AI labs recruit engineers through working code, open artifacts, and paid milestones rather than resumes.
- **AI Evaluation (` KZ-eval `)**: Independent, third-party quality and security evaluation for LLMs and tool-using agents in Kazakh, Turkish, Arabic, and Russian (Track A: Regional Alignment, Track B: Agent Red-Teaming, Track C: Incident-Derived CVE & TLS Security).
- **DevsMap (` StackMap & MarketMap `)**: Comprehensive engineering ecosystem intelligence for Kazakhstan and Central Asia—mapping production technology stacks (`StackMap`) and regional startups, R&D labs, and venture hubs (`MarketMap`).
- **Events (` Demo Nights & Livestreams `)**: Regular technical livestreams, Data Day / Data Halloween sessions, and Demo Nights turning peer-reviewed papers into open software artifacts.
- **Articles & Stenograms**: Full technical stenograms, post-event engineering summaries, and weekly artifact roundups.
