During the forum, the investment, industrial, and agricultural potential of the North Kazakhstan Region was presented, and promising areas for further cooperation were discussed. B2B meetings were also held for business representatives from the North Kazakhstan and Chelyabinsk Regions. The akim of the region also held an official meeting with Chelyabinsk Region Governor Alexey Teksler. They also visited leading industrial enterprises, where they learned about their modern production facilities, advanced technologies, and experience in implementing industrial projects. As part of the official visit, the regional delegation held a flower-laying ceremony at the Eternal Flame.
