BCPD Ltd. and QazTrade Academy, with the support of the Ministry of Trade and Integration, held the first business workshop “Smart Export” aimed at increasing the competence of domestic companies in export activities.

As part of the workshop, an 8-day online training course was held on the skills of conducting export activities, which includes the development and implementation of negotiation strategies in the B2B market, the organization of exports to the PRC, and also covers the integration processes of the WTO and the EAEU, features of protecting the rights of owners to intellectual property and much more.

The project is of particular importance for increasing the country’s export potential and developing the human capital of domestic exporting companies. The webinar trainers were 23 international and local experts from the Russian Federation, Ukraine, Georgia and the Republic of Kazakhstan. In total, the business workshop was attended by over 900 participants from over 400 exporting companies.

“Over the years of independence, we, as a country, have achieved a lot, but you will probably all agree that we still have a huge potential in our country, especially export. So how can we translate the export potential into financial capital for our country? For a long time now, all countries are not just developing commodity markets, but are focusing on the development of human capital. It is the development of human capital that allows these countries and can allow our country to increase our export earnings“, – noted during the seminar Yernur Rysmagambetov, CEO of the AIFC Authority.

Azamat Askaruly, General Director of QazTrade JSC:

“Today, both external and internal conditions for the functioning of organizations are changing very quickly, which puts most companies in front of the need to prepare personnel for work in different conditions. Today’s specialists must demonstrate not only good professional training, but also fully comply with the requirements of modern reality. Our educational program was created taking into account the requests of exporters and includes the most pressing issues of conducting export activities.”

Saken Shayakhmetov, Deputy Akim of Pavlodar region:

“It is necessary to constantly improve its competencies and skills, business must be receptive to all these changes and be ready for the current conditions of foreign trade. As for the exporters of our region, we can note their activity and participation in the Smart Export business workshop,

QazTrade Academy representatives noted that an educational platform with video tutorials will be launched in the near future, including video and educational materials of the Smart Export business workshop. With the help of this platform, the exporter at a convenient time will be able to undergo training on any topic of interest.
