During the conference,
problematic issues of industrial development in Kazakhstan were voiced, which
only intensified during the pandemic. The conference participants noted that

the domestic market with essential goods and meet the needs of the population
by providing products to industry segments – food, light, agricultural,
construction, create production facilities with a high degree of complexity in
mechanical engineering, in combination with non-ferrous metallurgy, and join
international technological chains.

They also discussed the
problems of developing the country’s important oil and gas industry as a whole
and outlined the directions for its transition to low-carbon technologies.
Special attention was paid to supporting the manufacturing sector of the
industry and managing the commercialization of scientific developments in the
industry of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The conference participants were
