Agency of International News of Kazakhstan — According to a reporter from Kazakhtelecom stationed in China, a large-scale investment roadshow was recently held by the Kazakh delegation in Shenzhen, China, aimed at advancing the development of the new city of Almaty.
Representatives from government agencies, investment funds, financial institutions, as well as leading developers and technology companies from Kazakhstan and China attended the event.
Participants heard presentations on the main development directions of Almaty City, including preferential conditions offered to investors, "one-stop" project support services, and opportunities brought about by special legal frameworks.
Kazakhstan placed particular emphasis on studying Shenzhen’s experience in innovation and digital governance, with plans to actively adopt the best practices of this major Chinese city for application in Kazakhstan’s urban development.

The primary outcome of this meeting was the signing of 24 cooperation agreements. Both parties agreed to implement joint projects in sectors including industry, energy, logistics, high technology, and the digital economy, with a total investment value potentially reaching up to $6 billion.
The Shenzhen roadshow confirmed strong international business interest in the development of Almaty City. The project has already attracted significant attention from major market players. It will continue in Hong Kong, where planned meetings are scheduled with leading investment funds, banks, insurance companies, and tech giants.
