From August 12 to 14, 2025, the first Kazakhstan–China Youth Entrepreneurs Forum is taking place in Astana. The event aims to strengthen business ties and promote youth entrepreneurship between the two countries. The Forum is organized by the Republican League of Young Entrepreneurs of Kazakhstan with the support of the Chamber of International Commerce of Kazakhstan.

The Chinese delegation includes representatives of the Youth E-Commerce Union of Shaanxi Province, industry associations, GR structures, as well as investors and technology partners.

Opening the event, Deputy Director of the Commercial Activities Department of the Chamber of International Commerce of Kazakhstan Alisher Darkembayev noted:

“This forum is a valuable opportunity for young business leaders to establish direct contacts, exchange ideas, and launch joint projects that are in demand not only in Kazakhstan and China but also in the global market. We see great potential for cooperation in the agro-industrial complex, digital economy, creative industries, logistics, and cross-border e-commerce. I am confident that the results of meetings and discussions at this platform will serve as a foundation for long-term and mutually beneficial partnerships.”

The Forum program includes B2B and B2G meetings between Kazakhstani and Chinese companies, negotiations with government bodies and development institutions, as well as the presentation of the Kazakhstan–China E-Commerce Center.
