The international Freedom Inside 2026 event, organized by Freedom Holding Corp., concluded on April 9 in Astana, Kazakhstan. The forum gathered over 3,000 attendees, including government officials, corporate executives, and technology innovators. Discussions focused on shifting from isolated financial tools toward a comprehensive digital framework, while emphasizing international market expansion.
Strategic entry into Türkiye
A one of the major topic of the international panels was the upcoming operational expansion into Türkiye. Corporate executives announced a process to acquire a 99.32 percent stake in Turkish Bank A.S., pending regulatory approvals. Highlighting the cooperative agreement, representatives from the founding family of Turkish Bank attended the forum. The holding outlined a five-year roadmap to deploy its integrated financial ecosystem within the market. This framework consolidates banking, investment, insurance, and payment systems into a single application. Presenters also mentioned plans to introduce a travel service in Europe and explore market entry in the United States.
Unified platform and financial growth
During the opening address, Freedom Holding Corp. Founder and Chief Executive Officer Timur Turlov shared the core philosophy of the company. He explained that traditional services like brokerage and insurance now act as a foundational layer. The main objective is to retain users within a single system by offering access to daily purchases, payments, and public services. This strategy relies heavily on the Freedom SuperApp. Current metrics indicate the platform gains up to ten thousand new users daily. The corporation now serves eleven million customers across twenty-one countries, reporting annual revenues exceeding two billion dollars and a market capitalization nearing nine billion dollars.
Artificial intelligence and smart infrastructure
Technology investments formed another major discussion segment. The organization announced a two billion dollar funding plan to establish a national artificial intelligence hub in collaboration with the technology firm NVIDIA. Concurrently, an internally developed artificial intelligence assistant is being prepared for mass consumer adoption. On the infrastructure side, the company reported supplying internet to 11 cities and detailed an initiative to install 20,000 Wi-Fi hotspots to support smart city connectivity.
Healthcare integration and consumer services
The integration of daily services continues with various corporate partnerships. Through an agreement with the real estate developer BI Group, users can lock in property prices and submit mortgage applications directly through the software. A collaboration with the Ministry of Healthcare aims to simplify medical appointments and promote telemedicine. In consumer finance, the company released co-branded payment cards featuring Harry Potter and figures such as Lionel Messi, Lamine Yamal, and Dimash Kudaibergen. The common shares of the holding are registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the ticker symbol FRHC.
