ECA participates in discussion of venture trends in Kazan
The annual “Russian Venture Forum” has concluded in Kazan, bringing together more than 7,000 delegates from 25 countries. This year, the forum reaffirmed its status as a key international center of expertise, significantly expanding its geographic reach with participants from CIS countries, as well as Asia, the Middle East, and Africa.
The business agenda focused on stimulating economic growth through innovation, advancing technology transfer, and developing global investment infrastructure. Particular attention was paid to the integration of Islamic finance principles into modern technological ecosystems.
As part of the session titled “The Future of FinTech: Education, Investment, and Inclusion in the New Financial Reality,” Renat Kaliyev, Regional Director of the Export Credit Agency of Kazakhstan (ECA) in the Republic of Tatarstan, delivered a speech.
The speaker provided the international business community with a comprehensive overview of the Agency’s instruments designed to support non-resource exports. In particular, mechanisms such as trade finance, advance payment insurance, and short-term accounts receivable protection were presented, all of which help minimize risks for Kazakhstani enterprises entering foreign markets.
“The mission of the ECA is to systematically strengthen the competitiveness of domestic producers. We offer effective financial instruments that enable the efficient alignment of private investment with state guarantees. This creates a foundation not only for the sustainable export of goods and services, but also for fostering a favorable environment for foreign partners interested in joint high-tech projects,” noted R. Kaliyev.
According to him, expanding participation in such international dialogue platforms facilitates the integration of Kazakhstani innovative companies into global value chains and reinforces Kazakhstan’s position as an active player in the cross-border investment market.
