Successful Kazakhstan Investment Day
More than 200 participants attended Kazakhstan Investment Day on 24 February 2026 at KfW in Frankfurt – a clear sign that economic relations between Germany and Kazakhstan are of great value.
Kazakhstan Investment Day was jointly organised by KfW IPEX-Bank, KfW Development Bank, DEG, Ost-Ausschuss der Deutschen Wirtschaft (German Committee on Eastern European Economic Relations) and the Embassy of the Republic of Kazakhstan in Germany.
“Economic relations between Kazakhstan and Germany are taking on new strategic importance,” says Ekaterina Galitsyna, Director, Business Development Origination for Eastern Europe, Central Asia, South Caucasus at KfW IPEX-Bank. “As Germany's most important trading partner in Central Asia, the partnership offers immense synergies.” Around 400 German companies are active in Kazakhstan, including in the mobility, infrastructure and green energy sectors.

At Kazakhstan Investment Day, an indicative term sheet was signed between KfW IPEX-Bank and Solidcore Resources plc for a seven-year credit facility of up to USD 100 million to finance the construction of the Ertis POX project including infrastructure, equipment and engineering costs. Ertis POX is Kazakhstan’s first large-scale and high-tech full-cycle pressure oxidation plant for refractory ore processing.
“There is a great demand for more cooperation between Germany and Kazakhstan,” says Ekaterina Galitsyna. “Whether it's investing in the expansion of the Middle Corridor, tapping into Eurasia's trade potential, or Kazakhstan's role as a reliable partner for raw materials such as rare earths, the German and Kazakh economies complement each other very well. As a bank, we provide support in the form of export and project financing, which can also include export credit guarantees.”
