Session 3 (MINEX Kazakhstan’24)

International cooperation in the development of critical raw materials supply chains.

The shift from hydrocarbons to renewable energy sources globally has significantly fostered international collaboration in the exploration, production, processing, and establishment of supply chains for uranium and other critical raw materials crucial for green energy technologies like electric batteries, solar panels, wind turbines, and micro-hydro systems. This session will explore the expansion of Kazakhstan's international relations, particularly in the context of partnership programs with major global players such as the European Union, the United States, Canada, France, the United Kingdom and other countries. The focus will be on developing robust global supply chains for uranium and other critical raw materials from the landlocked Kazakhstan.
