China invests in environmental projects in Kazakhstan

A strategic agreement has been signed in the Chinese city of Shenzhen between the NAO "International Center for Green Technologies and Investment Projects" and the China-Eurasian Business Council (CEBC).

At the investment B2B forum organized by CEBC, the Kazakh side - International Center for Green Technologies and Investment Projects and 'Zhasyl damu' - presented a number of promising startups in the field of eco-technologies. Particular attention was drawn to the OzenM project, developed within the framework of the GCIP Kazakhstan program.
