Kazakhstan will launch pilot Business Support and Assistance Centers in five regions to provide entrepreneurs with comprehensive support through a “one-stop-shop” mechanism. The pilot project will be implemented on the basis of regional branches of the Damu Entrepreneurship Development Fund. More than 600 of them came from the regions where the pilot project will be launched. These areas will be the focus of the Business Support and Assistance Centers. Under the pilot project, centers will be established in Astana, Almaty, Shymkent, North Kazakhstan and Aktobe regions.
