From 22 to 24 May, the IX Annual Exhibition of Domestic Manufacturers, Ulttyq ónim – 2026, will take place at the EXPO International Exhibition Center.

Ulttyq ónim is the largest exhibition platform aimed at promoting the products and services of Kazakhstani companies that have received state support. The platform brings together Kazakhstani manufacturers, investors, chief executives of state and financial institutions, as well as international experts.

The exhibition is organized by the Damu Entrepreneurship Development Fund (a subsidiary organization of the Baiterek National Managing Holding Joint Stock Company) with the support of the Government of Kazakhstan, the Ministry of National Economy, and the Akimat of Astana. Over the years, Ulttyq ónim has established itself as one of the key platforms for demonstrating the potential of small and medium-sized businesses in Kazakhstan.

As part of the exhibition, companies will present products and services in the fields of food, light, heavy, and chemical industries, furniture and construction manufacturing, the craft industry, and other sectors of the economy. The primary objective of the project is to support domestic businesses, develop cooperation, identify new partners, and expand sales markets for Kazakhstani products.

In 2026, the exhibition will become the largest in its history. More than 600 companies will participate, which is nearly twice as many as in the previous year. The exhibition area and sectoral coverage have been significantly expanded. A new category — services — has been introduced for the first time.

Special emphasis has been placed on manufacturing enterprises, while the share of participants from the regions continues to grow. Live zones and interactive formats will be organized for visitors, enabling them to observe real production processes. Master classes on the application of artificial intelligence in business are also planned, ranging from process automation to business plan generation.

The business program of Ulttyq ónim – 2026 includes panel sessions featuring leading Kazakhstani and international experts, top managers of banks, and representatives of the business community. The key topics will include entrepreneurship development, guarantees as an instrument for expanding access to financing, digitalization, and the implementation of artificial intelligence technologies.

In addition, the exhibition program will include business-to-business meetings, a national clothing fashion show, a concert program featuring popular artists and bloggers, the “Halyq Tandauy” online competition, and prize drawings for visitors. Guests of the exhibition will also be able to purchase products from domestic manufacturers directly at producer prices.

The general sponsors of the exhibition are Halyk Bank and Freedom Bank.

Admission to the exhibition is free of charge. To attend, visitors are required to complete registration either on-site or in advance online via the Ulttyq ónim website: https://ulttyqonim.kz/.
