Astana (TDI): Chinese robotics company AgiBot is set to establish a joint venture in Kazakhstan to manufacture and deploy robots at industrial facilities across the country.
The company is also planning to introduce artificial intelligence (AI) solutions as part of its expansion strategy.
In this regard, an agreement was signed between AgiBot and Kazakhstan’s Ministry of Digital Development, Innovation, and Aerospace Industry during the Digital Almaty 2025 forum.
