Kazakhstan, Germany to establish technology transfer centers

Kazakhstan and Germany plan to develop joint educational programs, scientific research, and technology transfer centers. This was discussed during a meeting between President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev and rectors of German universities and heads of research institutions. In particular, it is proposed to launch an educational exchange program and expand research while strengthening ties between universities and industry. One example of this approach is the TiBeRIUM project, which brings together East Kazakhstan Technical University, the Ulba Metallurgical Plant, and the Freiberg University of Mining and Technology. The research focuses on developing low-carbon production chains for titanium and beryllium. Another promising area is artificial intelligence. Kazakhstan has proposed that German universities and companies jointly establish engineering laboratories and develop applied digital solutions.
