With the Silleno Polyethylene plant in Atyrau officially surpassing the 25% construction milestone — and the first 1,500-ton columns arriving on-site — Central Asia’s transformation into a global polymer hub has entered its most critical phase.
For the first time, the Downstream Central Asia and Caspian Summit will be co-located with the inaugural Go Net Zero Energy Summit on 8 September at the same venue, bringing together downstream stakeholders from across the Caspian and Central Asia regions under one roof. This unique convergence creates a full week of strategic dialogue and delivers unparalleled opportunities for cross-sector collaboration, knowledge sharing, and the formation of strategic partnerships across the entire energy value chain.
