Nazarbayev University invites students, researchers and practitioners to a discussion on the challenges and strategic choices shaping Kazakhstan’s energy future.
The session will feature Ora Lazic, an international energy and industry advisor and strategic risk specialist with nearly three decades of experience across Kazakhstan and Eurasia. She currently serves as Central Asia Growth Lead for Mining Advisory at SLR Consulting and is the Founder of Eurasia Industry Expert Ltd. Her previous professional experience includes Tengizchevroil, Agip KCO, S&P Global and Nexant.
The discussion will explore how Kazakhstan can balance short- and medium-term energy security, industrial competitiveness and long-term climate objectives amid evolving international supply chains and increasingly stringent carbon-related trade requirements.
Drawing on industry experience and international perspectives, the session will challenge conventional assumptions about the energy transition and examine the opportunities, risks and strategic priorities facing Kazakhstan.
The event will feature an expert presentation, an extended discussion and an audience Q&A, providing an opportunity for participants to exchange perspectives and engage with the key questions shaping the future of energy and industry in Kazakhstan.
