Astana Data Exchange Expands Access to International Data for Trade and Investment for Kazakhstani Businesses
On 30–31 October 2026, Astana Data Exchange participated in the Global Data Ecosystem Conference 2026 in Shanghai, presenting the progress and achievements in the development of Kazakhstan’s data market.
The initiative marked a practical continuation of the strategic partnership between ADX and Shanghai Data Exchange, established in September 2025.
During bilateral negotiations, the parties also discussed the establishment of joint data spaces, the development of mechanisms for mutual recognition of rights to data products, and the preparation of compatible standards for their circulation. These initiatives are aimed at ensuring secure interaction between participants in both markets, facilitating cross-border transactions, and expanding opportunities for the commercial use of data.
Another key area of engagement involved bilateral meetings with representatives of the World Data Organization (WDO). Within the framework of ADX’s membership in WDO, the parties discussed further cooperation, including the prospects of establishing a WDO regional centre based at ADX.
Astana Data Exchange will continue expanding its catalogue of international data products and developing services tailored to business needs. Kazakhstani companies, banks, and investment organisations can approach ADX with requests for international data and analytics. Data providers are also welcome to contact ADX to explore opportunities for entering international markets through the platform’s partner network.
