When we think about the rapidly changing face of Asia, we tend to look towards the Far East; the Japanese ,Indian and Chinese economic miracles. Often, newer emerging markets in Central Asia tend to receive little or no attention .More recently, the focus has turned to Kazakhstan, which is rapidly emerging as the financial and commercial powerhouses of the future.

Kazakhstan, a former Soviet republic, one of the largest of the neighbours and is in a wonderful position to profit from the changing geo-political and economic trends. It sits strategically at the crossroads between the East and the West. Its unique geographic position provides it with the opportunity to profit from the rise of Asia as a new economic and business center. Kazakhstan is sort of an economic success story in its own right. Part of that is due to its large oil reserves and the fact that it sits on 20 percent of the world's known supply of uranium.

Almaty International Fair (AIF) in its debut edition will be is the largest consumer exhibition in Kazakhstan covering over 5,000 square meter of exhibition space and attracting over five hundred thousand visitors. To be held annually in Kazakhstan’s thriving Almaty city, it is organizational endeavor by Atelier Globaspace LLC and will be held at the prestigious Atakent expo center, Almaty.

AIF aims to be the flagship show of the consumer goods industry in Kazakhstan. It is a place where novelties and main trends of the utensil, home products, gifts and souvenirs, clothes, leather products and footwear market are traditionally demonstrated. We anticipate a lot of business contacts will be established and contracts will be concluded.  In the coming years the show will emerge as a festival of fashion, beauty and comfort. It will be one of the bright and varied international consumer goods expositions, and a model of the lofty style and good taste.
