“This is a meeting of highly-qualified professionals of the country's machine building sector, a platform for new opportunities for business communities. The share of machine building industry in Kazakhstan has increased from 13% to 19% in the past 5 years, with the output reaching 4.6 trillion tenge in 2024. The volume of exports is rising as well. New companies producing agricultural machinery, buses, cars and trucks have entered the country's market,” the letter reads.

“To ensure further development of machine building sector, we need to increase the share of local production and introduce advanced technologies in a massive way. On top of that, it is important to create comfortable and safe labour conditions for workers and focus on training highly qualified specialists and their professional development.
