Prominent business leaders shared insights from the development of their companies and discussed the future of entrepreneurship.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The speakers included <strong>Rauan Kenzhekhanuly<\/strong>&nbsp;(founder of Bilim Media Group and Chair of YPO Kazakhstan), <strong>Askhat Omarov<\/strong>&nbsp;(co-owner of BI Group), <strong>Samat Daumov<\/strong>&nbsp;(Partner and Head of the GRATA International office in Astana and MNU alumnus), <strong>Baurzhan Turmatov<\/strong>&nbsp;(founder of BAUNER), and <strong>Nurasyl Zharbassov<\/strong>&nbsp;(Chairman of the Board of Directors of DEM Group). They spoke about global and local business trends, shared personal case studies and recommendations for developing companies in real economic conditions, and reflected on leadership and entrepreneurial thinking. The speakers also answered students\u2019 questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Particular attention was drawn to the presentation of the YPO Kazakhstan casebook, which features 38 real business cases from Kazakhstani entrepreneurs. The speakers emphasised that leading global business schools rely on international cases, whereas Kazakhstani students need a body of domestic case materials that reflects the local context, market specifics, and real stories of national companies. Ten copies of the book were presented to active participants of the meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><em>\u201cI had a very positive impression of MNU. I saw in the students\u2019 eyes a healthy ambition and a thirst for success. I believe these are the essential qualities that will help them find their path in life. We are ready to continue these open conversations on a regular basis. I wish the students to enjoy the moment and embrace learning,\u201d<\/em>&nbsp;said <strong>Askhat Omarov.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">YPO is the world\u2019s most influential network of business leaders, bringing together company owners and top executives from across the globe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"41280\" src=\"https:\/\/mnu.kz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/img_0195-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mnu.kz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/img_0195-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/mnu.kz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/img_0195-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/mnu.kz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/img_0195-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/mnu.kz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/img_0195-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/mnu.kz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/img_0195-2048x1366.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"41283\" src=\"https:\/\/mnu.kz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/img_0198-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41283\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mnu.kz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/img_0198-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/mnu.kz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/img_0198-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/mnu.kz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/img_0198-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/mnu.kz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/img_0198-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/mnu.kz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/img_0198-2048x1366.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"41286\" src=\"https:\/\/mnu.kz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/img_0199-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41286\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mnu.kz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/img_0199-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/mnu.kz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/img_0199-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/mnu.kz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/img_0199-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/mnu.kz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/img_0199-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/mnu.kz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/img_0199-2048x1366.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"41289\" src=\"https:\/\/mnu.kz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/img_0197-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41289\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mnu.kz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/img_0197-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/mnu.kz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/img_0197-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/mnu.kz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/img_0197-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/mnu.kz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/img_0197-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/mnu.kz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/img_0197-2048x1366.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"41292\" src=\"https:\/\/mnu.kz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/img_0196-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41292\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mnu.kz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/img_0196-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/mnu.kz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/img_0196-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/mnu.kz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/img_0196-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/mnu.kz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/img_0196-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/mnu.kz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/img_0196-2048x1366.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":41296,"template":"","news-cat":[70],"news_tag":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Students at MNU Meet with Business Leaders - MNU<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/mnu.kz\/en\/news\/students-at-mnu-meet-with-business-leaders\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Students at MNU Meet with Business Leaders - MNU\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Maqsut Narikbayev University hosted a meeting between students and members of YPO Kazakhstan.
