At present, the density of industrial robots in the country is still significantly lower than the global advanced level, and there is an urgent need for related technology and cooperation support.

As an important economic and trade promotion organization in the industry, the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade in Machinery can effectively integrate high-quality enterprise resources. This cooperation not only meets the needs of Kazakhstan's industrial transformation, but also provides important opportunities for Chinese intelligent manufacturing enterprises to expand overseas markets.
