Baiterek National Managing Holding conducted a series of bilateral meetings with key investors during Abu Dhabi Finance Week and AIFC Connect

Timur Onzhanov, Deputy Chairman of the Management Board of Baiterek National Managing Holding, took part in the international financial events Abu Dhabi Finance Week (ADFW) and AIFC Connect, held in Abu Dhabi (UAE). The format of these platforms provided an opportunity for direct dialogue with the region’s largest institutional investors and for presenting Kazakhstan’s investment opportunities.

As part of the business program, Timur Onzhanov spoke at an AIFC Connect session dedicated to engagement with sovereign and institutional investors. During his remarks, he outlined the Holding’s approaches to transforming into a national investment holding and highlighted the key areas of its investment portfolio.

Several bilateral meetings were also held with leading financial institutions of the UAE, including ADQ, Investcorp, Abu Dhabi Fund for Development, Abu Dhabi Chamber of Commerce, Lunate, as well as with several private investment firms, including private equity and venture capital funds. The parties discussed co-investment mechanisms, partner participation in industrial, infrastructure, and logistics projects, as well as ways to attract long-term capital on co-financing terms.

A separate part of the discussions focused on the implementation of agreements reached on 25 November in Astana at the Kazakhstan–Emirates Roundtable, including the development of joint initiatives in the energy and transport infrastructure sectors.

According to Timur Onzhanov, the international meetings confirmed strong investor interest in Kazakhstan’s projects.

“For the Holding, it is important to build partnerships aimed at creating practical economic value. We are enhancing our focus on projects that create new production capacities, strengthen export potential, and expand infrastructure connectivity. The platforms in Abu Dhabi contributed to promoting our investment portfolio and expanding cooperation with the region’s key institutions,” he noted.

As a result of the meetings, an expanded list of potential areas for cooperation has been formed. The parties agreed to continue developing investment initiatives, including creating joint instruments and involving strategic investors in the projects of the Holding and its subsidiaries.
