About KCBC:

Three decades of fruitful bilateral relations between Kazakhstan and Canada have created a robust foundation for advancing economic collaboration, particularly in trade and investment. Presently, we witness an upward trajectory, with approximately 150 Canadian companies actively operating in Kazakhstan. Given the evolving global landscape, this number continues to surge.

Therefore, the  primary focus of this session is to provide a comprehensive introduction to the Kazakhstan-Canada Business Council (KCBC) and to gather valuable insights into the interests, needs, and expectations of Canadian companies.

The main aim of this event is to:

  • Get the most recent updates about the Kazakh market.
  • Explore the interests and needs of Canadian businesses to be addressed during the KCBC Working Groups and Plenary Sessions.
  • Provide a platform for Canadian businesses to express the problems they face in the Kazakh market.
  • Create a joint list of projects available for mutual cooperation.

We look forward to connecting with Canadian businesses, establishing a collaborative dialogue, and creating a dynamic space for potential future cooperation. Join us in this exciting endeavour to shape the future of bilateral economic relationships between Kazakhstan and Canada.
