The forum was organized by Tecnimont (MAIRE) in partnership with Sinopec Shanghai Engineering Corporation (SSEC), sponsored by Silleno LLP.<\/p>\n<p>The platform served as an important venue for direct dialogue between international contractors and Kazakhstani producers. Participants were briefed on the current status of the project and upcoming procurement plans for equipment and materials to be used in the construction of the polymerization unit and off-site facilities of the future Silleno plant.<\/p>\n<p>In his remarks, Askhat Khassenov, Chairman of the Management Board of KazMunayGas, emphasized that the national company is committed to developing petrochemicals \u2014 a strategic industry that opens new opportunities for Kazakhstan\u2019s economy.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>At the instruction of President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, KazMunayGas is consistently advancing the petrochemical sector as one of the drivers of industrialization and the shift from raw material exports to deeper processing. Increasing the share of Kazakhstani content is a key strategic priority, helping to boost the competitiveness of domestic companies.

This will allow domestic engineering companies to gain unique experience in designing a large-scale and high-tech petrochemical complex.<\/p>\n<p>Another highlight of the forum was Tecnimont\u2019s announcement of a new educational initiative to train the next generation of engineers. Over the next four years, graduates from Kazakhstani universities will undergo technical training, offering top performers employment opportunities at MAIRE\u2019s global projects including the Silleno project in the Atyrau region.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Background<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Silleno LLP is the operator of the polyethylene project in the Atyrau region with a planned annual production capacity of 1.25 million tons.
