Kazakhstan Smart City Technology Expo (URBANEXT Central Asia) is a significant platform for promoting the development of new brand technologies related to smart cities in Kazakhstan and Central Asia. According to Kazakhstan's 2025 strategic development plan, there is great market potential for lighting and smart city-related lighting technology products. With favorable national policies, the exhibition has received strong support from local government departments.

China is the largest source of imports and the second-largest export market for Kazakhstan. Labor-intensive products and mature industrial technologies from China have a significant advantage in this country, with an increasing proportion of optical products, lighting products, and other light industrial products.

In recent years, Kazakhstan has intensified efforts to transform its industrial structure and optimize industries, leading to significant growth in light industry and construction. The modernization of cities has created a high demand for cost-effective products and technologies in urban digitalization, building automation, lighting, electrical engineering, and safety systems, which is a good opportunity for Chinese related industries to expand their markets.

The high-quality and cost-effective lighting products and smart city-related lighting technologies that China offers are exactly what Kazakhstan and the entire Central Asian region are in urgent need of.

Under the complex and changeable international situation and the increasingly fierce global market competition, Chinese lighting enterprises can expect to open up the Kazakhstan market and even enter the entire Central Asian market through this platform. The URBANEXT exhibition and conference in Kazakhstan and throughout Central Asia is a platform for introducing new technologies.
