Taiwanese business developing cooperation with Kazakhstan

ALMATY (TCA) — A delegation of the Taiwanese Council of External Trade Development has visited Almaty to establish business relations with partners in Kazakhstan, to set up joint ventures, consider investments, and develop distribution of Taiwanese goods in Kazakhstan and Central Asia, the Atameken National Chamber of Entrepreneurs of Kazakhstan reported.

The Taiwanese delegation was represented by 30 major international companies which produce car parts and accessories, construction, medical and energy-sector equipment, construction materials, IT and communication products.

“We are working in the tourism sector. We produce substations for motor homes, including ones for caravanning. Our equipment allows charging electronic appliances in motor homes and cars. There are no analogues to such equipment in Kazakhstan and CIS countries. We have held talks with Taiwanese entrepreneurs who can supply the missing elements for our production,” said the director of Kazakhstan’s LLP Silk Road Camps Azamat Kenzhaliyev.

“Taiwan is a relatively new trend for us. They are interested, first of all, in the development of high technology, manufacturing of steel products and parts, and chemical industry in Kazakhstan. Many of the Taiwanese guests intend to study seriously our market and to start joint projects. Particular interest was shown in the Alatau technopark, where IT-companies are granted tax privileges and preferences. It is worth noting that women’s entrepreneurship is quite developed in Taiwan. Taiwanese women are active, they offer innovative projects, and we also hope to conduct successful negotiations with Taiwanese businesswomen,” said the deputy chairperson of the Council of Business Women of the Chamber of Entrepreneurs of Almaty, Akerkin Eralieva.
