Groundbreaking of K-Park

On September 12, 2025, Alatau City held the groundbreaking ceremony for K-Park - a cultural and business center and a theme park dedicated to Korean culture. This first investment project of the city symbolized the official beginning of its development.

K-Park is envisioned as a space where history and modernity unite in harmony with nature. The complex will be located in the Golden District - the area of medicine, education, culture, and creative industries. Its architecture will blend seamlessly into the natural landscape, creating an oasis in the steppe.

The total green area will cover 40,000 square meters - about 20% of the current total park area across Almaty Region.

K-Park will feature:

a theme park with a monument of gratitude, art installations, ethnocultural zones, and a museum;
a cultural and business center with the office of the Association of Koreans in Kazakhstan, a conference hall, a library, and exhibition spaces;
a 5,000-seat amphitheater, a visitor center, sports and children’s playgrounds, cafés, and Kazakhstan’s first interactive AI museum.

The project was initiated by the Association of Koreans in Kazakhstan. Its construction is timed to coincide with the 90th anniversary of the Korean community’s presence in the country, to be commemorated in 2027.

K-Park is set to become a new point of attraction for residents and visitors of Alatau City, a space for public and business initiatives, and an example of how cultural heritage and history can serve as drivers of modern development.

International Business Forum AI-4room

On September 13, 2025, the international business forum AI-4room (Almaty International Forum) was held in Almaty, organized by the Business Club of the Association of Koreans in Kazakhstan. The forum marked the 10th anniversary of the Club and the 35th anniversary of the Association.

The event brought together entrepreneurs and experts from Kazakhstan, Korea, Japan, China, the Philippines, the United States, Russia, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, and other countries. The main topics of discussion were the prospects for the new city of Alatau City and the cultural and business center K-Park.

Particular attention was given to the scale of the project: the city covers 880 square kilometers about 700 football fields - and the entire area is designated for new technologies, investments, and ideas. Participants emphasized that Alatau City has the potential to transform the country’s economy by becoming a platform for innovation.

Key areas of discussion included:

creating an ecosystem around real estate and human needs;
developing the urban mobility of the future (Urban Air Mobility, Low Altitude Economy);
introducing green technologies and digital solutions;
using the city’s special status to enable platform-based business.

The forum served as a platform for dialogue between government, international investors, the business community, and experts. Specific Alatau City projects were discussed, with further announcements expected in the near future.
