During the informal session, potential investors and entrepreneurs with investment initiatives presented nearly 20 tourism, agriculture and medicine projects and development plans and outlined problems they face in executing them in the region. The business casual format was new to the district akims and industry department representatives.
“We plan to hold such meetings regularly. Such a format for holding meetings in the form of live communication and feedback will allow precise and quick work out of investors’ problematic issues regarding the implementation of projects with the aim to improve the investment climate in the region,” said Marzhikpaev, reported inform.kz.
“We believe such a format for a meeting between the regional akim and business is very much in demand for a positive solution to the issues raised,” added Atameken Director Timur Nakhipbekov.
