Kazakhstan’s
Council of Domestic Entrepreneurs convened to address the expansion of
artificial intelligence application systems, development of digital
technologies, green financing, agro-industrial complex, and comprehensive support
for local producers. The meeting, involving the National Chamber of
Entrepreneurs and major businesses, aimed to implement priorities outlined in
the President’s state-of-the-nation address. Prime Minister Olzhas Bektenov
emphasized an essential role of business in advancing technological and
innovative development and stressed the need for their involvement in the real
sector. As part of the Year of Working Professions, Bektenov instructed to
renew the previously used practice of large businesses’ patronage over colleges
and create a base for training specialists to help train future staff. He also
highlighted the importance of reducing tax rates on income from loans for green
projects and improving incentives for domestic seed production. Special
attention is paid to the development of intra-country value, with efforts
underway to work out a new methodology for determining the share of Kazakh
content in goods, works, and services to boost the growth of domestic
enterprises.
