Mexico, Kazakhstan focus on electric mobility for new technological alliances

Mexico City, Nov 28 (EFE).- Electric mobility was the focus of attention on Friday at the Kazakh-Mexican Business Forum, which highlighted the potential of new technological alliances and sustainable investment opportunities in both countries.

​Held in the Mexican capital under the slogan “Kazakhstan: land of opportunities and growth in the new reality,” the meeting brought together diplomatic and business representatives from both countries with the aim of strengthening commercial, technological, and cooperative relations.

​During his speech, Yerlan Kubashen, counselor at the Kazakh Embassy, presented an overview of Kazakhstan’s economic development following the reforms implemented since 2019. As a result, these reforms have driven 6.4% growth in GDP, energy diversification, and digital state consolidation.

In addition, Kubashen noted that Kazakhstan is the world’s leading producer of uranium, is promoting a transition to green energy, and that morthan 50% of the population is under 30 years of age, among other things.

“The country’s strategic objective is to achieve total digitization by 2028, integrating all government, educational, and industrial services,” he said.

One of the projects presented was Adele Energy, a Kazakh company specializing in electric vehicle charging stations.

​Founded in 2013, it is the only company in Central Asia that manufactures this type of infrastructure, boasting its own technology in engineering, design, and charging network management. According to its representatives, this demonstrates the country’s rapid progress toward sustainable mobility.
