Held in Astana, the event brought together more than 1,000 participants from 55 countries to explore opportunities in infrastructure, energy, and green technology. Four major agreements were signed, setting the stage for new industrial news projects in the region.

Dastan Ryspekov, the governor of Ulytau Region, met with international investors to highlight local economic potential. The region offers strong prospects in metallurgy, chemicals, engineering, agribusiness, and tourism. Discussions focused on how these sectors could attract further development.

Four memoranda of cooperation were finalised during KGIR-2025. Harvest Agro Holding, a Swiss company, will establish an agro-industrial cluster in the area. Meanwhile, China's Sairen Group plans to build a meat-processing complex, boosting local food production.

In the energy sector, Chengdu Sepmem Energy from China will partner with the region on new news. Another Chinese firm, BKN Techbuild, will construct a modern brick factory, supporting Ulytau's construction industry. These investments aim to diversify the region's economy by launching new industries in agribusiness, energy, and manufacturing.

The agreements signed at KGIR-2025 will bring over $150 million into Ulytau Region. New factories, processing plants, and energy projects are set to create jobs and expand local industries. The region expects these developments to strengthen its economic position in the coming years.
