The University continues to strengthen its role in advancing Kazakhstan’s tourism sector and supporting the development of modern regional infrastructure.

As part of this vision, the University held a meeting with representatives of Finnish companies with international expertise in construction and architectural development. The discussions focused on potential cooperation, sustainable solutions, and the creation of facilities that enhance the attractiveness of tourism destinations.

The University views tourism as a strategic direction that connects education, research, and international partnership. Joint initiatives are expected to contribute to regional economic growth and the formation of a high-quality tourism environment.

Infrastructure development may also expand recreational opportunities for academic staff.

The University positions itself not only as an educational institution, but as an active contributor to the country’s socio-economic progress.

The Finnish delegation visiting our university included:

• Mr. Ahti Sakari Juntila, CEO of Onnivations Oy

• Mr. Frank Isonimy, CEO of Opus Arcticus Oy

• Mr. Ari Tapanen Resanin, CEO and Partner of Thermiahirsi Oy

• Mr. Luis Alfonso Gonzalez Toyvola, Director of International Business at Grow Capital Oy

Thus, cooperation with international partners opens up new prospects for the development of Kazakhstan's tourism sector, the introduction of innovative technologies, and the improvement of infrastructure quality. The University continues to strengthen its role as a center of competence, where education, science, and practice are combined for the benefit of the region, creating conditions for sustainable economic and social growth.
