Kazakhstan plans to launch a number of new production facilities with the participation of Chinese companies. The new projects were presented at the Kazakhstan–China Investment Forum in Almaty. They were reported by Kazinform, a TV BRICS partner.
One of the joint ventures will be a plant producing humanoid and educational robots in Almaty. Its launch is scheduled for the first quarter of 2027. For the Chinese manufacturer, the plant will be its first production facility outside China.
In the automotive sector, further localisation of Chinese brand production in Kazakhstan is planned. The republic is also preparing to launch domestic production of anti-cancer medicines in partnership with two Chinese companies.
