During the 4th United Nations International Conference on Financing for Development in Seville, Spain, Kazakhstan’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of National Economy, Serik Zhumangarin, conducted a series of meetings with key representatives from leading Spanish companies, Trend reports via the Ministry of National Economy of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
Per the data provided, the cohort included Vicente Fenollar, the
Chief Financial Officer of Barceló Hotel Group and President of the
Avoris Group, alongside Andrés Blanco, the Chief Executive Officer
of Xcalibur Multiphysics Group S.L.
In the course of strategic negotiations with the executive
leadership of Barceló Hotel Group, the potential avenues for
Spanish engagement in the enhancement of tourism infrastructure
within the Kazakhstani landscape were meticulously examined, with a
particular focus on the Mangystau region. There was a notable
emphasis on the development of hospitality infrastructure,
alongside deliberations regarding the feasibility of establishing
direct aerial connectivity between the two nations.
Zhumangarin noted the attractiveness of Kazakhstan as a transit and logistics hub in Eurasia, emphasizing the country’s favorable investment climate and a wide range of tax incentives for investors. Following the meeting, Vicente Fenollar expressed readiness to visit Kazakhstan on a business trip this year.
“As part of negotiations with Xcalibur Multiphysics Group S.L., issues of implementing airborne geophysical surveys on the territory of Kazakhstan were discussed. Given the large-scale task to increase the area of geological and geophysical study of the country’s territory to 2.2 million square kilometers by 2026, these studies are considered a key tool for accelerated mapping and subsurface analysis,” the statement said.
Xcalibur is a world leader in airborne geophysics with more than 100 years of experience in implementing national mapping programs. In March of this year, Xcalibur Smart Mapping signed an agreement with the Baiterek holding to create a regional center for airborne geophysics and geospatial mapping in Kazakhstan. This creates conditions for the introduction of advanced technologies in geological exploration and the attraction of strategic investments in subsoil use.
