NDT QAZAQSTAN 2026: ASTANA WILL BECOME THE CENTER FOR DISCUSSING ISSUES OF NON-DESTRUCTIVE TESTING AND INDUSTRIAL SAFETY IN KAZAKHSTAN

FROM APRIL 28 TO 30, 2026, THE 5TH KAZAKHSTAN INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION AND CONFERENCE "NON-DESTRUCTIVE TESTING AND TECHNICAL DIAGNOSTICS — NDT QAZAQSTAN 2026" WILL BE HELD IN ASTANA.

The event will take place in the capital of Kazakhstan and will become a key industry platform for the professional community in the field of industrial safety, quality control, and technical diagnostics.

The resumption of the exhibition in 2026 emphasizes its significance for the engineering and industrial sector of the country and the region as a whole. The main goal of the event is to increase the level of industrial and operational safety, develop the engineering competencies of enterprises, and stimulate the implementation of modern technical diagnostics technologies at oil and gas, energy, mining, metallurgical, construction, and transport facilities. The event will feature an exhibition of leading companies and a business program focused on practical tasks and strategic industry development.

Non-destructive testing and technical diagnostics play a critically important role in ensuring the reliability and safety of industrial facilities. In the context of the dynamic development of key economic sectors, modern methods of diagnostics, equipment condition monitoring, and accident risk prevention become an essential element of ensuring industrial safety. International practice shows that the implementation of advanced non-destructive testing technologies can significantly reduce operational costs, extend equipment life, and ensure sustainable industrial development. For Kazakhstan, where industrial and operational safety issues are of strategic importance, further development of this direction is one of the priorities.

NDT Qazaqstan 2026 serves as a professional platform for the development of the non-destructive testing industry, exchange of expertise, and implementation of advanced technological solutions. Companies from Kazakhstan, Russia, and China, including: LLP "Kazakhstan Research & Development Center", Doppler Electronic Technologies, Talmay, GSI Company, Engineering Technical Systems, RV KONRAD, and others will participate in the exhibition. The exposition will cover key industry areas: non-destructive testing methods, technical diagnostics, control and measuring equipment, software and digital solutions, materials and technologies, as well as education and certification of specialists.

Special attention will be given to the business program. On April 29, 2026, a one-day specialized conference on "Non-Destructive Testing: Safety, Technologies, and Industry Sustainability" will be held. The program includes a plenary session dedicated to the role of non-destructive testing in ensuring industrial safety and sustainable development of Kazakhstan, specialized sessions on diagnostics and monitoring of oil and gas facilities, as well as on material and construction control. The conference will conclude with a foresight session "Non-Destructive Testing in Kazakhstan – 2030: Priorities, Technologies, Personnel", aimed at forming a long-term vision for industry development.

It is important to note that on the same dates, the Kazakhstan International Construction and Interior Exhibition AstanaBuild, as well as the International Exhibition and Conference on Labor Protection and Industrial Safety KIOSH, will be held simultaneously at the EXPO IEC in Astana. The simultaneous holding of three profile events significantly enhances the industry effect and emphasizes the strategic importance of these expo events for the industrial and construction sectors of Kazakhstan.

The synergy of the AstanaBuild, KIOSH, and NDT Qazaqstan exhibitions creates a comprehensive professional environment covering the entire spectrum of issues — from the technical condition of equipment and industrial reliability to labor protection, accident prevention, and the preservation of workers' lives and health. This format promotes the development of inter-industry dialogue, the exchange of practical solutions, and the implementation of a systematic approach to industrial and production safety issues, which is especially relevant for enterprises in the basic sectors of the economy.

The NDT Qazaqstan event is held with the support of the state partner, the Ministry of Trade and Integration of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

Official support: RSE "KazStandard", NCE RK "Atameken", ALE "Kazakhstan Register", ALE "Kazakhstan Association of Defectoscopy".

The event is organized by the Kazakhstan exhibition company Iteca and its international partner – ICA Events Group.
