Events like this help us better understand our customers' changing needs and align our strategies with real market demands,” said Sergey Omelyanyuk, Director of the CIS & Caucasus Region, AsstrA.
“Central Asia is strengthening its role as a strategic logistics hub. We are seeing a steady increase in interest in multimodal routes, warehousing solutions, and local presence. For us, it is essential to listen to our clients and engage in direct dialogue about how we can meet their logistics needs,” said Ramilya Akhmetova, General Manager of AsstrA’s branch in Kazakhstan.
“The Trans-Caspian route is no longer just an alternative – it is now a fully operational and actively developing logistics corridor. The main question is how to ensure its long-term resilience and scalability. Dialogue between businesses and logistics operators plays a key role in this process,” said Gaidar Abdikerimov, Independent Expert.
The second business brunch marked a continuation of AsstrA’s strategic initiative to foster industry dialogue and co-create tailored solutions in collaboration with customers.
