‒ Our investors have a good appetite, the potential of the region is great. Investors are no longer asking if there is an opportunity to bring the infrastructure up, they know that we have the appropriate programs. But more and more often they are asking the question - is there a trained, technology savvy staff, - said the Deputy of Akim.
He added that the memorandum is necessary so that there is a clear mutual understanding, it is possible to plan and in 3-4 years have a wide group of specialists to work at enterprises.
