The event brought together policymakers, financial institutions, development partners, and private-sector representatives to discuss scaling circular economy practices across Asia under the EU Global Gateway framework.<\/p>\n<p>As part of the high-level session \u201cScaling Up the Circular Economy in Asia: Bridging Policy, Practice, and Investments through the EU Global Gateway,\u201d Asylkhan Aitzhanov, Managing Director of the International Green Technologies and Investment Projects Center (IGTIC), delivered a keynote address.<\/p>\n<p>Aitzhanov emphasized that successful circular economy transitions require close coordination between government policy, business needs, and regional socio-economic context:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA circular economy must be adapted to local realities. It is not enough to replicate international best practices &#8211; we must engage small and medium-sized enterprises and industry associations in shaping policy and ensure solutions reflect the socio-economic characteristics of each region.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He also underscored the importance of blended finance mechanisms to accelerate green transformation:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBlended finance is a critical tool for scaling green projects. It aligns the interests of governments, international financial institutions, and private investors &#8211; creating long-term, stable impact and advancing environmental innovation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kazakhstan\u2019s participation in SWITCH-Asia reaffirms the country\u2019s commitment to strengthening cooperation with the European Union and advancing regional leadership in sustainable development, circular economy models, and climate responsibility.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":9706,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[24],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v15.5 -
