In the Kostanay region, Deputy Minister of Industry and Construction of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Darkhan Myrzabayev, held a meeting with residents and representatives of the business community in the area. During the meeting, the results and future plans for the digital transformation of subsoil use, geology, construction, housing and public utilities, and industry were presented.

Opening the meeting, the Deputy Minister emphasized that the Head of State has set the goal of transforming Kazakhstan into a digital nation. As part of the declared Year of Digitalization and Artificial Intelligence, the Ministry is systematically working to implement modern technologies in supervised sectors. The main aim of this effort is to improve the quality of public services, create favorable conditions for business, ensure process transparency, and enhance production efficiency.

In the fields of construction and urban planning, efforts are underway to develop an end-to-end digital process—from territory planning and design to construction and operation of facilities. To achieve this, the development of the state urban planning cadaster, BIM design technologies, and tools for automated project documentation review are being advanced. Preliminary estimates suggest that these solutions could reduce the time needed to review a single project from 16 to 9 hours, lessen routine work, and improve the quality of decision-making.

The implementation of digital projects and the introduction of modern technologies are intended to provide additional conditions for the further development of the region's industrial potential, enhance the competitiveness of domestic enterprises, and improve the quality of public and communal services for the population.

Kazakhstan's electricians emerged as champions at the international competition among Turkic World countries, held from September 21 to 23 in Ankara. The competition titled "2026 жыл ең үздік электр тарату желісі командасы" saw participation from energy sector representatives of the member countries of the Turkic Organization.

Specialists from Turkey, Azerbaijan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Hungary, and Turkmenistan took part in the event.

Kazakhstan was represented by a team comprised of specialists from LLP "Ongtüstik Zharyk Tranzit" (part of the Kazakhstan Utilities Group) and LLP "Energosistema" from Aktobe.

The results of the competition showcased the Kazakh team's high level of professional preparation, practical skills, and teamwork, earning them first place. The team was also awarded the special nomination of "Most Successful Team."

The competition took place at TEDAŞ's training base and aimed to practically demonstrate professional skills in handling electrical equipment and knowledge of safety requirements for operating distribution networks.

As part of the contest tasks, participants performed a practical replacement of a faulty high-voltage fuse in a distribution transformer. The task required a sequential execution of low and medium-voltage operations, local grounding, fuse replacement, and adherence to safety protocols.

An international jury evaluated the participants' work. Judging criteria included the accuracy of operations, compliance with safety regulations, task completion time, and the application of effective and modern technical solutions.

Kazakhstan's participation in these international competitions provided a platform for experience exchange among energy specialists and allowed Kazakh electricians to demonstrate their level of preparation on an international stage.
