AWEX Almaty

Belgian innovation shines where it matters most: in healthcare, science, and sustainable partnerships. 🇧🇪🇰🇿
Our Trade and Investment Counsellor at Awex Almaty, Ms. Aizhan M***akanova Aijan M***a, had the honour of accompanying IBA’s individual prospecting visit to Kazakhstan, organised to explore new opportunities and renew contacts established more than 15 years ago.
IBA was represented by Andrew D**e, Sales Director for Central and Eastern Europe | Central Asia and the Caucasus, and Aidana Shagalakova, EMEA Regional Product Manager.
A Belgian and Walloon technological flagship, IBA is a global leader in particle accelerators, proton therapy, dosimetry, and radiopharmaceutical solutions. The company develops cutting-edge technologies serving diagnostics, patient treatment, and scientific research.
Kazakhstan is already familiar with the value of this Belgian expertise: IBA equipment is used in the country for medical and scientific purposes, demonstrating the concrete impact of Belgian innovation on the ground.

The visit also provided an opportunity to consider the future prospects of proton therapy in Central Asia — an advanced treatment technology that could, in time, open up new opportunities for medical, scientific, and technological cooperation in the region.
Awex Almaty sincerely thanks His Excellency Erik De Maeyer, Ambassador of Belgium to Kazakhstan, Embassy of Belgium in Astana for his constant support of Belgian companies and his commitment to strengthening Belgian-Kazakh economic relations.
More broadly, this visit reflects Belgium’s recognised expertise in the field of radiotherapy, where Belgian technologies make a tangible contribution to patient treatment, as well as to scientific and technological development.
Awex Almaty wishes the entire IBA team continued success in pursuing its projects and developing new areas of cooperation in Kazakhstan and Central Asia.
