Its expositions fully reveal the exhibition’s theme: “Connecting Minds, Creating the Future” and may be compared with a journey, in which visitors learn the nature, history, culture, traditions, as well as promising projects in the country’s development.

“The Kazakhstan pavilion is very impressive from the first minute, as soon as you enter: atmosphere, music, plants in which LEDs are installed. It looks very beautiful. There are also installations on the second floor: the sun moves and shows how Kazakhstan changes from morning to evening. There are also IT technologies of the country,” Busazhida Kasymbekova, Poland Pavilion’s intern, shared her impressions.

Above all, the pavilion highlights sectors of the country’s economy that Kazakhstan is proud of, such as the investment, industrial, transport and logistics, and agrarian sectors.

The final show, presented at the end of the pavilion, was also a great success among visitors. The acrobatic performance with the robotic hand symbolizes the interaction of man with artificial intelligence and the search for balance between them.
