From the Steppes to Shenzhen: A Story of Cross-Border Collaboration
Meet Karlygash Minzhassarova — a dynamic professional who’s become a human bridge between China and Kazakhstan! After a marathon 15-hour flight from her homeland, she’s back in Shenzhen, the tech hub she’s called home for four years. As both a Chinese company employee and general secretary of the Shenzhen Belt and Road Economic and Technological Cooperative Association, she’s turbocharging cooperation between the two nations.
Why Shenzhen? Think Silicon Valley meets ‘everything’s possible’ energy. Karlygash told us: \"This city’s innovation spirit is contagious. I want to channel it into creating real opportunities — for businesses, tech partnerships, and cultural exchanges.\" Her work aligns with China’s Belt and Road Initiative, but with a Gen-Z twist: fostering friendships through shared economic goals and TikTok-worthy cross-cultural moments.
