On September 8, 2025, President of the Republic of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, in his annual Address to the Nation, placed particular emphasis on strengthening the country’s technological and digital sovereignty. Among the key priorities, he highlighted the development of science and technology, modernization of the economy, strengthening of national security, and support for society. These areas serve as essential guidelines for enterprises of the defense-industrial complex, where the Kazakhstan Engineering Group of Companies holds a special place.

Today, Kazakhstan Engineering is far more than a group of plants and design bureaus. It is an integrated structure that ensures strategic planning, technological transformation, and management of Kazakhstan’s defense industry. Since its establishment in 2003, the Holding has been steadily consolidating its position in the sector, becoming one of the key players in the high-tech market.

Over the years, Kazakhstan Engineering enterprises have mastered a wide range of tasks: from the development of innovative technologies and modernization of weaponry to the creation of regulatory and technical documentation and standards required for the defense-industrial sector. Scientists, engineers, designers, and other highly skilled professionals work here. Each of them contributes to solving the most complex strategic challenges, on which the security of the country directly depends.

At the same time, special attention is given to the people working within the Group of Companies. The year 2025 has been declared the Year of Blue-Collar Professions in Kazakhstan, and Kazakhstan Engineering actively supports this initiative. The plants are implementing mentorship programs, digitalization, and the introduction of international standards. Young specialists are gaining opportunities to study modern technologies and take part in projects of national and international importance. This approach not only builds a professional team but also fosters a sustainable corporate environment where labor and knowledge are highly valued.

Furthermore, the role of the Holding extends far beyond the defense sector. Kazakhstan Engineering enterprises contribute to the development of the national economy by launching new productions, building a modern scientific and technical base, and creating jobs in the regions. This directly corresponds to the objectives outlined in the Address: improving citizens’ well-being, strengthening the economy, and enhancing state resilience.

Thus, the Holding’s enterprises play a vital role not only in the defense sphere but also in the country’s economy. They establish new productions, reinforce the scientific and technical base, and create jobs. This directly supports the strategic goals set out in the President’s Address: economic resilience, accelerated digitalization, and strengthened national security.
