🇰🇿🇧🇪Ahead of His Majesty King Philippe’s state visit to Kazakhstan, Belgian investor Mark De Zutter explains why Kazakhstan presents growing opportunities for Belgian businesses and investors.
On September 11, Brussels hosted the latest edition of the Shanyraq Dialogues, organised by the Mission of Kazakhstan to the European Union, bringing together diplomats, experts and business leaders for an open discussion on Kazakhstan’s new political era and constitutional reform in action.
The event provided an opportunity to discuss Kazakhstan’s recent political and institutional developments, the implementation of its new Constitution, and the country’s evolving relationship with Europe.
Among the voices contributing to the broader dialogue was Belgian investor Mark De Zutter, who shared his perspective on Kazakhstan as an emerging destination for Belgian investment.
With His Majesty King Philippe’s state visit to Kazakhstan approaching, the timing is particularly relevant. For Belgian companies, Kazakhstan offers growing opportunities — not only in traditional sectors, but also in innovation, digitalisation, strategic partnerships and new forms of economic cooperation.
Kazakhstan is also taking steps to make its investment environment more transparent, predictable and accessible, creating better conditions for international investors.
The message is clear: Belgium and Kazakhstan have an opportunity to move from dialogue to concrete partnerships. 🇧🇪🫂🇰🇿
