As Central Asia's energy landscape continues to evolve, Iranian businesses are positioning themselves for greater regional engagement. The Tehran Chamber of Commerce, Industries, Mines and Agriculture (TCCIMA) will lead a trade delegation to the 30th Kazakhstan International Oil & Gas Exhibition and Conference (KIOGE 2026), scheduled for September 30–October 2 in Almaty.
The milestone anniversary edition of KIOGE—now in its third decade—has matured from a specialized industry showcase into a strategic forum where government, business, and international stakeholders converge. This year's agenda is expected to tackle pressing questions around the global energy transition, market adaptation, and regional cooperation.
For Iranian companies, the event offers more than just exhibition space. The delegation will engage in targeted B2B matchmaking sessions with Kazakh firms, attend technical conferences, and explore partnership opportunities across the entire hydrocarbon value chain—from drilling and refinery services to automation, instrumentation, and HSE solutions.
With shared interests in energy security and technological collaboration, Tehran and Astana are well-positioned to deepen commercial ties. The TCCIMA-led mission reflects a broader push to expand Iran's economic footprint in Central Asia, leveraging Kazakhstan's role as a regional hub for energy infrastructure and investment.
