This partnership agreement aims to strengthen economic development in Kazakhstan and Central Asia, especially under the umbrella of the Belt and Road Initiative and specifically in the fields of Investment, Finance, Green and Sustainable Finances, and Capital Markets. This partnership allows KIMEP Students and employees to learn about financial literacy by attending educational seminars on capital markets and taking advantage of internship opportunities. KIMEP’s new partner brings fresh learning platforms on capital market financing solutions and retail market investment solutions – including the mobile application Tabys. Together with AIX, our university aims to develop a shared think-tank for both KIMEP and AIS users to utilize.
