In August–September 2025, entrepreneurs from Kazakhstan took part in a series of seminars in Beijing, Urumqi, and Guiyang. The programs covered the agro-industrial complex, light industry, food processing, and innovation. Participants studied Chinese standards, gained insights from leading enterprises, and discussed prospects for cooperation.
Export Acceleration is QazTrade’s flagship project, implemented with the support of the Ministry of Trade and Integration of Kazakhstan. The program covers marketing and industry analytics, certification support, consulting on product promotion and packaging, as well as training at international platforms.
From 2020 to 2024, 306 enterprises in the non-resource sector entered foreign markets through the program. Between 2021 and 2024 alone, participants signed export contracts worth more than $189 million. In 2025, another 120 companies from the manufacturing and service sectors joined the program.
“China is the world leader in production and trade. For us, it is clear: if Kazakh companies want to compete globally, they must understand standards and practices here. That is why we chose China as the training platform for the 2025 accelerators,” noted QazTrade CEO Aitmukhamed Aldazharov.
“Our seminar focused on production safety. The program allowed us to better understand Chinese production approaches and standards. We also visited leading textile enterprises, received fabric samples and price offers. What impressed us most was the automation. In huge workshops, there were only about 50 workers, and the process was fully robotized. This is invaluable experience that will help introduce modern solutions into Kazakhstan’s textile industry,” said Sandibek Dalmakhanov, Production Manager at UNIFORMA Systems LLP.
Thus, the seminars in China became a true “export school” for Kazakh producers. Participants not only gained knowledge of technologies and marketing but also laid the groundwork for future export contracts. QazTrade continues to build a system of business training to ensure that Kazakh products successfully enter international markets.
