Applications open for participation in the Export Acceleration Program

Participants will receive support in promoting their products in foreign markets

JSC “Center for Trade Policy Development QazTrade” has announced the start of accepting applications from Kazakhstani enterprises for participation in the Export Acceleration Program for 2026.

Applications can be submitted from March 16 to April 16, 2026.

The program is primarily aimed at small and medium-sized businesses that already have finished products and production capacity but require professional support to systematically enter foreign markets.

Within the framework of the acceleration program, potential foreign markets are analyzed and an individual export strategy is developed for participating companies. Participants also receive assistance in adapting products to the requirements of target countries, preparing commercial proposals, and supporting negotiations until export contracts are concluded.

One of the key elements of the program is the organization of B2B meetings with foreign buyers, as well as participation in international exhibitions and overseas business missions.

Companies from various sectors of the economy are invited to participate. These include the agro-industrial complex, food industry, mechanical engineering, pharmaceuticals, chemical and petrochemical industries, construction materials production, light industry, IT sector, and services.

The selection of participants is carried out on a competitive basis. Each year about 120 companies are selected for the program.

According to QazTrade, participants in the acceleration program conclude export contracts worth millions of dollars, and in some cases the supply volume reaches $20–29 million.

Applications for participation in the QazTrade-2026 Export Acceleration Program are submitted online.
