The country's location at the intersection of transport routes between Russia, Europe, and China makes it a strategic logistics hub. Moreover, Kazakhstan serves as an excellent platform for scaling business in the Central Asian region," notes Artemy Pestovsky, Partner and Director of Bright Rich | CORFAC International Kazakhstan.
