On October 9, 2026, the announcement of the Nobel Peace Prize laureate took place in Oslo, Kingdom of Norway. The Nobel Peace Prize is one of the most prestigious international awards, presented for outstanding contributions to the promotion of peace and international cooperation.

The event was attended by Zhomart Mominbayev, a partner of the TGS-Energy Group of Companies, who arrived in Oslo to support the candidacy of Olzhas Suleimenov, a renowned Kazakhstani poet, writer, and public figure.

Olzhas Suleimenov is widely known for his many years of work in nuclear disarmament and environmental protection. In 1989, he founded the international anti-nuclear movement “Nevada–Semipalatinsk,” which played a significant role in the public campaign to end nuclear testing at the Semipalatinsk Nuclear Test Site.

Zhomart Mominbayev believes that Kazakhstan needs its own world-class prize, worthy of standing alongside the Nobel Prize but focused on the future: a prize that transforms bold technological ideas into real factories, jobs, and new opportunities for the country's economy.

In September, Kazakhstan hosted an international group of Executive MBA participants from the HKUST Business School & Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University, organized by the Graduate School of Business at Nazarbayev University. As part of their international residency in Astana and Almaty, the participants met with representatives of leading Kazakhstani companies and institutions, discussing the development of business, digital technologies, infrastructure, and the country's investment potential.

"TechnoGroupService" LLP became one of the venues for professional and strategic dialogue within the framework of this program. During a lecture, Zhomart Mominbayev presented the company's activities, key areas of work, and approaches to implementing technological and infrastructure projects. Special attention was paid to the practical aspects of doing business in Kazakhstan's renewable energy sector.

A dedicated part of the meeting featured the presentation and discussion of the business case "TGS – in search of Blue Ocean," developed for the NU Graduate School of Business. The Kellogg-HKUST EMBA participants presented their own analysis of the case, examining it from the perspectives of strategy, business model, market environment, and future development prospects.

For TGS, this format proved particularly valuable, as it allowed the company to see its previously developed business case through the lens of international management experience and gain an independent perspective from entrepreneurs from all over the world (https://lnkd.in/p/d-DY7hnz).

"TechnoGroupService" LLP expresses its gratitude to the organizers of the Kellogg-HKUST EMBA program, the Dean of the Nazarbayev University Graduate School of Business Professor Jozef Konings, and the participants of the international residency for a meaningful exchange of experience, cooperation in education, and professional dialogue.
