About Exhibition Center МВК Атакент-Экспо
International Exhibition Complex “Atakent-Expo” – located in an ecologically clean area of Almaty, in close proximity to the administrative center of the city. The center is intended for organizing and holding major international exhibitions in Kazakhstan, as well as holding exhibitions, events, conferences and business forums from all over the world.
The official opening of the exhibition complex took place in 1961 and it was then called VDNH of the Kazakh SSR. Nine pavilions with exhibits of heavy industry, agricultural and construction equipment, a summer cinema, and several fountains were built. The exhibition became a platform for the exchange of experience and training of workers in industry, construction, agriculture, party and economic and trade union activists. Arches at the entrance group of the exhibition complex appeared only in the 1980s. It was one of the first buildings in the republic, made according to functionalist, figurative and technological characteristics. In the 1990s, the concept of the exhibition center changed: since 1992 it has been called the Kazakhstan Center for Business Cooperation “Atakent”.
