panel discussion 

Wim Michiels, CEO of Proviron, had the honor of participating in the panel discussion on economic and industrial cooperation between Kazakh and Belgian companies.

To make these partnerships successful, companies need a stable investment environment, predictable regulations and clear alignment around internationally recognised technical and environmental standards.

If we establish that foundation, Kazakhstan can become more than an important market. It can develop into a regional production and innovation hub serving the wider Central Asian region.
