Republic Day of Kazakhstan in Toruń: ELETOR’s participation

On 22 May 2024, the ELETOR management team attended the conference entitled “Kazakhstan as a place to do business” at the invitation of Dr habil. Eng. Małgorzata Jaworek, Professor at UMK and Head of the Department of Investments and Real Estate at the Faculty of Economic Sciences and Management of Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń. Invited guests included, among others, His Excellency Alim Kirabayev, Ambassador of the Republic of Kazakhstan to Poland, as well as representatives of embassies, Polish state and local government institutions, the business community, the Polish Investment and Trade Agency, the Polish-Kazakh Chamber of Commerce, regional business support institutions and the academic community.

The organisers ensured that the speakers included competent representatives of companies with extensive first-hand experience of doing business in Kazakhstan. We were particularly interested in the presentations by Ms Katarzyna Kania-Michalunio, Compliance Director at POLPHARMA SA and formerly Head of the Commercial Department at Santo JSC in Kazakhstan, and the women from TRANS-RACH: Marta Łagód, Commercial Director, and Tamara Dzemidovich, Fleet Coordinator.

Republic Day of Kazakhstan was one of the events held as part of the XI International Asian Congress, whose theme this year was: "Looking Beyond the Horizon. Changing Dynamics of International Relations in Asia." – translated from English: “Looking beyond the horizon. The changing dynamics of international relations in Asia”.

Kazakhstan is attracting growing interest from both global exporters and direct investors. We too are looking boldly towards Asia in search of export opportunities, even though our ties with these countries are mainly long-standing trade relations involving import transactions. We value diligence, honesty, punctuality and impeccable work culture in our business partners from the Middle Kingdom and neighbouring countries. This provides a good foundation for further joint business and the development of ELETOR as we internationalise our business activities in Asian markets.
