On 14 August 2025, in Kuala Lumpur, the Embassy of the Republic of Kazakhstan in Malaysia participated in the “Kazakhstan Sharing Session” organised by the Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC).

The session gathered over 60 Malaysian companies engaged in agrotechnology, e-commerce, financial innovation, clean energy, healthcare, digital and telecommunications sectors, educational solutions, as well as logistics, supply chain management, and manufacturing industries.

In his opening remarks, Amir Aldazhanov, a diplomat of the Embassy, presented Kazakhstan’s achievements in digitalisation, artificial intelligence development, IT start-up support, and e-commerce promotion. He also outlined government support measures for foreign investors, including tax incentives, streamlined regulatory procedures, and access to the rapidly growing markets of Central Asia and the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). The diplomat emphasized Kazakhstan’s readiness to share its digital transformation experience and to collaborate with Malaysian companies on implementing joint projects. According to him, the potential for Kazakhstan-Malaysia cooperation in the digital economy and innovation remains high, and the Kazakh side welcomes a more active presence of Malaysian businesses in its market.

During the event, online presentations were delivered by Aidar Zhanturin, Senior Business Development Manager of the Astana International Financial Centre (AIFC), and Eskendir Amirkhan, Director of the International Cooperation Department of Astana Hub. Mr. Zhanturin provided a detailed overview of the AIFC as an international jurisdiction based on the norms of English common law, offering foreign companies preferential tax regimes, access to world-class financial services, and a platform for attracting investments into projects in Central Asia. In turn, Mr. Amirkhan presented Kazakhstan as a regional IT hub offering start-ups access to venture funding, acceleration programmes, global partnerships, and support for entering international markets.

Representatives of Rifhan Technologi and CSQ Consulting, who were among the first Malaysian residents of the AIFC, shared their experience of working in Kazakhstan, noting the openness and readiness of Kazakh institutions to support foreign investors, as well as the country’s well-developed business infrastructure.

At the conclusion of the session, Malaysian companies were invited to join a business delegation led by MDEC that will visit Kazakhstan in October 2025. This visit will mark an important step towards expanding bilateral cooperation in digital technologies, innovation, and sustainable development.

The Embassy of Kazakhstan in Malaysia remains committed to facilitating direct contacts between the business communities of both countries and to supporting the implementation of joint projects that promote trade, investment, and technology exchange.
