Employees of the Kostanay Social and Technical University named after Academician Z. Aldamzhar attended the international investment forum “Kostanay Invest Forum 2026,” which brought together representatives of government agencies, the business community, development institutions, investors, and international partners.

The forum became a significant platform for discussing pressing issues related to the socioeconomic development of the Kostanay region, enhancing the region’s investment attractiveness, implementing major industrial projects, and expanding international cooperation. During the business program, participants examined prospects for the development of industrial production, the agro-industrial complex, transport and logistics infrastructure, and mechanisms for state support of investment activities.

A key part of the program was a specialized exhibition showcasing modern agricultural, specialized, and automotive equipment manufactured by regional companies.
