KAZAKH INVEST Participated in the FDI Leaders Network Autumn Meeting 2025 in Doha
KAZAKH INVEST took part in the FDI Leaders Network Autumn Meeting 2025, organized by Invest Qatar, which brought together heads of leading global Investment Promotion Agencies (IPAs) and international experts in the field of foreign direct investment (FDI).
Chaired by Sheikh Ali Alwaleed Al-Thani, CEO of Invest Qatar, the event gathered leaders of investment agencies and sectoral organizations from Australia, Canada, Egypt, France, the United Kingdom, Germany, Hungary, and the United States. Senior executives from major international companies — including Siemens, Iberdrola, Hassad Food, Keeta, Snoonu, and Qatar National Bank — also took part.
Kazakhstan was represented by Sultangali Kinzhakulov, Chairman of the Management Board of NC “KAZAKH INVEST” JSC, and Assel Suankulova, Director of the Investment Attraction and Marketing Department.
During the working sessions, participants discussed key global FDI trends, the development of digital investor facilitation tools, supply chain resilience, competition for capital, and the integration of ESG principles into international investment practices.
In his remarks at the panel discussions, Sultangali Kinzhakulov presented Kazakhstan’s investment potential and outlined the country’s new approaches to attracting FDI, emphasizing Kazakhstan’s role as a key regional hub open to cross-border projects in industry, logistics, digitalization, green energy, and innovation.
Participants exchanged best practices of investment promotion agencies, discussed new mechanisms for attracting FDI, and expressed readiness to enhance coordination within the global FDI Leaders Network community.
On the sidelines of the forum, KAZAKH INVEST representatives held a series of bilateral meetings with Qatari and international businesses aimed at promoting new projects and expanding the presence of foreign companies in Kazakhstan.
During the discussions, it was noted that Qatar has demonstrated an unprecedented rise in investment activity: while in 2023 the volume of direct investments amounted to around USD 9 million, by the first half of 2025 this figure had grown to USD 1.1 billion, reflecting the growing interest of Qatari companies in Kazakh projects and the strengthening of bilateral partnership between the two countries.
