A student project competition dedicated to green logistics and the digitalization of the sector was held in Astana. It brought together students from both Kazakh universities and higher education institutions across Central Asia. The initiative aims to support innovative solutions and develop the region’s transport and logistics industry. The team from Maqsut Narikbayev University won the competition. The Kazakh-German University and the Kyrgyz State Technical University also placed among the top three.
«The sector in the Kyrgyz Republic is developing rapidly, which is why new faculties are being opened to train specialists. At our university, for example, a dedicated faculty of logistics has been established. We have also brought a waterwheel – a useful tool for advancing green technologies in the logistics sector,» noted Begimai Mamaeva, Lecturer from the Kyrgyz State Technical University.
