Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
On behalf of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Republic of Kazakhstan, I would like to welcome all exhibitors of the 1st International Central Asia Conference SES-KITEL 2010 and the annual 17th International Central Asia Exhibition of Telecommunications and Information Technology KITEL 2010.
Current development of the IT industry is a prioritised area in the innovation policy of Kazakhstan. Today, no country can do without information technologies because in the 21st century – the century of information technologies – all economic sectors utilise automated management systems. Use of the up-to-date information technologies in our life will ensure effective resource management, as well as data storage, prompt receipt and transmission. This will eventually enhance economic growth and improve public well-being.
To ensure a successful IT development, Kazakhstan will in the nearest future have to accelerate the pace it has gained, and set out and undertake measures to remove any remaining barriers.
Pursuant to Kazakhstan’s participation in the Road to the Europe Programme, the European Union’s FP7 Programme, Customs Union with Russia and Belarus, and WTO, this will undoubtedly help to develop the country’s export potential.
The 1st International Central Asia Conference SES-KITEL 2010 will provide an effective discussion of these problems.
I believe that both KITEL 2010 and the concurrent SES-KITEL 2010 Conference address important objectives to assist in development of Kazakhstan’s IT industry, improving the investment attractiveness of this sector, expansion of economic, scientific and technical links, establishing business links between the ICT market players, providing a platform for a dialogue between representatives of government bodies, IT industry, science and education from the CIS and other countries.
Invitees to SES-KITEL 2010 Conference include international experts from Top 10 Enterprise Resource Planning Software Leaders 2009 and Top 20 Enterprise Software Leaders 2009 lists, CEOs and experts from international and national IT centres, leading international and national manufacturers and suppliers of software who are deeply interested in our country’s market, as well as representatives of professional and networking IT associations and organisations.
I am positive that SES-KITEL 2010 will fall into a good tradition and enhance co-operation between the world’s leading IT specialists and professionals from Kazakhstan, and the latest technologies presented at the exhibition will be utilised by companies, banks and government bodies in Kazakhstan.
May all exhibitors enjoy good contacts, sign contracts and expand co-operation in Kazakhstan with support from KITEL 2010 and SES-KITEL 2010 Conference.
Sincerely,
N. Rayev
Vice Minister of Industry and Trade,
Republic of Kazakhstan
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
On behalf of the Trade Mission of the Russian Federation in the Republic of Kazakhstan, I would like to welcome all exhibitors and guests of the International Exhibition of Telecommunications and Computer Technologies – KITEL 2010.
It is impossible to see the modern world without communication means and processing of huge information flows. Their introduction in everyday life also determines the competitive level of the country and its citizens in the world market.
Russia and Kazakhstan, both former Soviet republics, have traditionally pioneered development and utilisation of new information technologies. Both our countries succeed in introducing the e-government concept which makes government services readily available for every citizen. Communication and telecommunication means allow most people in the two vast countries to keep abreast of the most important events, experience the treasures of the world culture, feel their importance and belonging to making decisions that directly affect their lives.
Currently, Kazakhstan is going to make another technological leap and introduce the fourth generation mobile communication throughout the country, with support from Russian operators, and extend the digital television network.
From the bottom of my heart, I would like to wish all exhibitors and guests of the International Exhibition of Telecommunications and Computer Technologies – KITEL 2010 to enjoy constructive contacts, achieve their goals for this event, find new partners and friends, succeed and have a good luck in their professional life.

DEAR EXHIBITORS AND GUESTS,
On behalf of the Agency of the Republic of Kazakhstan for Information and Communication, I am happy to welcome exhibitors, guests and organisers of the 17th International Central Asian Telecommunications and Information Technologies Exhibition – KITEL 2010 and the 1st International Central Asian Conference SES-KITEL 2010 held during the exhibition.
In the last decade, information communication technologies (ICT) have become a key factor affecting development of the modern society. Their revolutionary impact affects government bodies and civil society institutions, economic and social areas, science and education, culture, and human life styles.
Use of ICT in key areas of human life is an important and self-consistent parameter of the country’s will for ICT-based development, while access to the modern information and communication infrastructure by people and organisations is a critical prerequisite for the country’s transition to the information society.
To date, Kazakhstan has secured significant success in the telecom and IT development under a number of completed and continuing government programmes.
These programmes are implemented as the telecom industry and IT transform into an integrated sector of infocommunications, which includes mutual convergence of communication and computer technologies.
Kazakhstan is currently implementing a broad range of activities to develop and apply ICT in various fields: public service centres have been computerised, uniform national registers are being used, electronic document management is in place, e-procurement is functioning, a number of portals with Kazakhstani content have been created, etc.
This process began in Kazakhstan at the turn of the centuries and resulted in the need for an integrated review of the infocommunication sector to identify its potential for the economy of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
I am sure that KITEL and the 1st SES-KITEL 2010 Conference Information Technologies and Communications: Kazakhstan in the 21st Century, with participation of ICT leaders from Kazakhstan, Russia, Belarus, and other foreign countries, will become yet another step towards development and improvement of the investment appeal of Kazakhstan’s ICT industry.
May all exhibitors and conference participants have a successful cooperation, sign good contracts, and succeed in implementation of their initiatives!

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
On behalf of Samruk-Kazyna National Welfare Fund Joint-Stock Company, I would like to welcome participants of the 1st International Central Asian Conference SES-KITEL2010, as well as professionals taking part in the 17th International Central Asian Exhibition of Telecommunications and Information Technologies KITEL2010, held in Almaty.
Samruk-Kazyna NWF JSC aims to ensure effective diversification and modernisation of Kazakhstan’s economy through pro-active investment and, as a result, independence from primary resources, regional development incentives, outreach to the world markets, and development of companies’ scientific and production capacity.
SES-KITEL2010, as part of the technological exhibition KITEL2010 in Kazakhstan and Central Asia, is positioned as an effective instrument for international benchmarking aimed to enhance an efficient and competitive IT industry in Kazakhstan. In this respect, I think it important to hold activities aimed to enhance leadership and competitiveness of Kazakhstan in the area of information technologies, both in the CIS countries and in the whole world.
I am sure that the exhibition and conference will become a venue not only to demonstrate the latest technologies and services but also hold meetings between professional players in the IT market, and help exchange experiences and expertise between IT leaders from Kazakhstan and other countries.
May all exhibitors get the best from such strategic events held in Almaty – KITEL2010 and SES-KITEL2010!
Sincerely,
