'Hot Spot' Event for Kazakhstan: boom country asserting itself during crisis

On Wednesday 26 November at the Berlin Capital Club the economic champion of Central Asia was the focus of the information and matchmaking event conceptualised by KME Consulting Group, making this Hot Spot the most successful of its kind yet.

Although Kazakhstan was affected by the global financial crisis, the country’s growth rate remains to be at healthy 4.5% in 2008. Owing to a government fund intended to balance economic hardship investments will keep on being made, especially into infrastructure, as well as into education, transport logistics and biotechnology clusters. The foreign trade fair program of the German Federal Ministry for Economics and Technology is supporting 8 trade fairs in Kazakhstan in 2009, thereby demonstrating the potential of this market.

More than 70 representatives of German and foreign trade fair companies, as well as industry bodies were present. Among the represented companies were the organizers from Frankfurt, Munich, Hanover and GiMA International Exhibition Group from Hamburg, a subsidiary of ITE London. Foreign companies active in Kazakhstan and present at this “Hot Spot” event were Iteca and Central Asia Exhibitions.

The new online country investment guide Kazakhstan was presented by OWC publishing house. Participants complimented “the excellent organizing of the event and the ample opportunities to make contacts, which will be of value for everyone involved.”
