The official visit of President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev to Germany concluded with his participation in the Kazakhstan-Bavaria Technology Forum in Munich. According to the President, the two sides are set to enter a new stage of economic cooperation focused on the development of advanced technologies, high-tech production and joint access to new markets. In particular, to expand cooperation in microelectronics, President Tokayev proposed bringing together Kazakh companies and research institutions with Bavaria’s semiconductor ecosystem. This is particularly relevant as Kazakhstan is ready to increase supplies of copper, titanium, beryllium, tantalum, and niobium. The Head of State also proposed jointly developing industrial and logistics hubs along the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route. There is also potential for cooperation in the agro-industrial sector. Drawing on Bavaria’s expertise in agricultural machinery, precision farming, and water-saving technologies, the proposal was put forward to launch Kazakhstan-Bavaria model farms. Alatau City was highlighted as a unique platform for investment. In conclusion, President Tokayev proposed establishing a Representative Office of Bavarian business in Almaty, which could serve the interests of German companies in implementing projects both in Kazakhstan and across Central Asia.
