In 2025, QazTrade, a subordinate organization of the Ministry of Trade and Integration of the Republic of Kazakhstan, continued implementing its export acceleration program. The program aims to comprehensively prepare Kazakhstani companies for entering foreign markets and covers the entire exporter journey: from initial assessment and training to supporting negotiations and concluding export contracts.

By the end of the year, 120 companies from 14 economic sectors participated in the export acceleration program. These included the food industry, mechanical engineering, light industry, chemical industry, pharmaceuticals, metallurgy, IT services, construction materials production, electronics, and services.
The largest number of program participants were in the food industry (39 companies), mechanical engineering (25 companies), chemical industry (18 companies), light industry (9 companies), medicine and pharmaceuticals (8 companies), and IT services and services (9 companies).

In 2025, the program expanded in both industry coverage and geography. While in previous years the focus was primarily on the food industry and IT, this year the acceleration program encompassed 14 industries and focused on eight target markets, including Russia, China, Uzbekistan, Pakistan, the United Arab Emirates, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and Italy.

As part of the program, companies received training, export diagnostics, consulting and service support, and assistance with entering foreign markets. Following participation in the export acceleration program in 2025, export contracts worth $180 million were signed. Participants completed internships in China and South Korea.

In parallel with the export acceleration program, in 2025, participating companies participated in trade and economic missions organized by QazTrade. During the year, 10 TEMs were held abroad, including in Iran, Hungary, China (Xi'an, Chongqing, Guangzhou), Afghanistan, Malaysia, Uzbekistan, Belarus, and Pakistan.

By the end of 2025, the number of active exporters in Kazakhstan reached 1,000 companies, with approximately 80% of support program participants being small and medium-sized businesses, and over 60% representing the food industry.

Export acceleration remains one of the key non-financial export support tools, focused on practical results and developing sustainable export competencies among Kazakhstani producers.
