Erlan Aukenov: “Almaty will become the city of social entrepreneurship”

On 25th of January in Almaty Management University, the administration of the university met the delegation of the city administration headed by Erlan Aukenov the Deputy Mayor of Almaty city.

The subject of a meeting was designated as "Entrepreneurship at universities", however, the circle of the questions which were brought up in conversation between Deputy Mayor of the city and administration of the university was much wider.

Erlan Aukenov told that the administration of the city takes very serious and important task, to declare Almaty the city of social entrepreneurship. The president of AlmaU Assylbek Kozhakhmetov noticed that unfortunately in the development plan of the city of Almaty there is no social entrepreneurship direction, as well as the role of higher educational institutions is not determined in a city’s economy, and other important economic and social problems are not designated. Deputy Mayor answered that it is still possible to change strategy of a development of the city: "Of course, it was necessary to meet and discuss such questions earlier, but it is still not too late. Give directions, ideas - strategy allows introducing constructive and useful proposals into it ".

Erlan Aukenov appointed to Deputy Mayor of Almaty city in August 2015. He supervises questions of industrial and innovative development, trade, tourism and environmental management.
