On January 28,
2026, as part of Management Week, a unique off-site lecture and study visit was
organized for students of the Higher School of Economics majoring in
Management, Marketing, and Finance. The event took place at the international
industry exhibition CENTRAL ASIA COATINGS SHOW, serving as an important
practical complement to the academic learning process. The initiative was
organized by PhD, associate professor of HSE, A.M. Nassyrova, and master’s
degree holder, senior lecturer K.R. Nursultanova, who enabled students to
immerse themselves in the realities of the modern market.
The main theme of
the event was “Innovation Management and Logistics Management: Industry
Exhibition as a Driver for Industrial Enterprises in Central Asia.” During the
visit, participants explored mechanisms of interaction among industrial
companies, key features of logistics chain development, and the role of
specialized platforms in promoting technological innovations. Students were
given the opportunity to observe how theoretical foundations of management are
transformed into effective business solutions at the international level.
Conducting such
educational activities directly contributes to the implementation of SDG 9:
Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure. Studying best practices showcased at
the exhibition allows future specialists to understand the importance of
developing sustainable infrastructure and implementing innovations for regional
industrialization. Thus, HSE continues to adopt a practice-oriented educational
approach, fostering competencies essential for supporting technological
progress and industrial modernization in Central Asia.
