The mining industry plays a key role in the economy of Kazakhstan, providing a significant part of GDP and employment. In the context of globalisation and technological progress, the future of this industry directly depends on the availability of qualified personnel who can effectively work with modern equipment and technologies. In 2024 Kazakhstan has adopted the “Law on Science and Technology Policy” aimed at stimulating scientific and innovative activities. It establishes technology readiness levels for scientific research, strengthens the Science Fund’s role in commercialising scientific developments, and introduces new mechanisms for funding scientific infrastructure and providing government support for science. The law is expected to create favourable conditions for the development of science and technology in the country, promote the production of science-intensive products, and enhance the competitiveness of Kazakhstan’s economy.
