One of the largest Eurasian region business meetings to be hosted in Astana from 24-26 August.
Focused on investment and export potential of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), the Eurasian Week is a large annual business meeting aimed at developing the regional economy.

It will take place in the Congress Center annexed to the EXPO 2017 venue.
The organizers of the event expect to gather over 2,000 participants from 35 countries over international cooperative projects and business networking. It is also a dedicated space to discuss common regulations, get training and find supporters and funders for projects in various industries. On August 24th, the speakers will debate competitiveness and potential points of growth in the current economic scenario; the next day, the conference will cover free movement flows in EAEU and the 25th will be dedicated to the economy of the future.
