Speaking at the Second High-Level  International Conference “Sustainable Development in Eurasia” in Astana, Nurlan Zhakupov, CEO of Samruk-Kazyna JSC, said that sustainable development principles are deeply embedded in the Fund’s long-term strategy.

Samruk-Kazyna manages assets exceeding $88 billion, while its group of companies employs more than 250,000 people.

The Fund is currently implementing more than 120 projects worth over $100 billion across the energy, transport, oil and gas, and telecommunications sectors.

Key priorities include the development of the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route, green energy projects with a combined capacity of more than 6 GW, and the expansion of AI infrastructure. The Fund is also pursuing initiatives aimed at developing international digital corridors and strengthening cross-border data connectivity across Eurasia.

Human capital development remains another strategic priority. The Fund’s social programmes benefit more than one million citizens each year.

“Today, sustainable development is no longer an abstract global agenda. It is a matter of economic resilience, national competitiveness, and the quality of life of future generations,” Zhakupov said.
