Dear colleagues and partners,

We are pleased to share the results and impressions of our active participation in various events in the fourth quarter of 2023. This period was full of important events and opportunities to expand our horizons and strengthen our business relationships.

The quarter began with eventful and fruitful meetings to form possible collaborations. On October 4, Astana hosted the 26th International Exhibition TransLogistica Kazakhstan 2023, which we attended and established business contacts with companies from different countries. Our meetings and communication with the exhibitors allowed us to get acquainted with the latest trends in logistics and transportation, as well as to exchange experience with other companies in this field.

The next day, October 5, we took part in a conference organized by the Atameken Chamber of Entrepreneurs, where Latvian business representatives participated as well. At this event, the Chief Operating Officer of Prometeo Chain System, Andrea Cadamuro, presented our company's solutions. After the conference we held B2B meetings with representatives of major Latvian logistics and forwarding companies, which facilitated the exchange of experience and the establishment of fruitful business relations.

On October 11, together with Atameken, we organized a conference on "The Power of Trust: How Ikarus Trust is Changing the Approach to Production and Supporting Business Growth". The event brought together various food producers from Kazakhstan, members of Atameken, representatives of Kazstandart, Agro-Universities of Kazakhstan and many other stakeholders.

At the conference, Prometeo Chain System representatives presented the Ikarus Trust solution and talked about how this technology can help food manufacturers to protect their brands from counterfeiting, increase competitiveness and make production processes more efficient.

On October 27 in Astana, representatives of Prometeo Chain System took part in the conference "Association of producers and importers of alcoholic and nicotine-containing products "QazSpirits". This event became a platform for discussion of important aspects of reducing harm from smoking and exchange of global experience in this sphere.

One of the important aspects that were discussed at the conference was the use of Ikarus Trust technology. This innovative technology allows tracking the entire chain of goods, such as cigarettes and e-cigarettes, from counterfeit and smuggled goods to excise goods. Thanks to this technology, it is also possible to track the purchase of these products to prevent the sale of cigarettes to minors and block the possibility of their purchase.

On October 30, we visited the Kokshetau Mineral Waters plant, Kazakhstan's largest producer of natural mineral water, beverages and alcoholic beverages. As part of this meeting we discussed how our Ikarus Trust solution could help the plant's processes and reduce costs.

On November 1, we actively participated in the 17th Central Asian International Exhibition "Agriculture" AgroWorld Qazaqstan 2023. As part of this event we were invited by the Poultry Union of Kazakhstan to give a presentation on "The Power of Trust: How Ikarus Trust is Changing the Approach to Production and Driving Business Growth". The presentation was made by CEO, Damira Kenesarina, on behalf of Prometeo Chain System.

On November 13, we participated in the 6th Plenary Session of the CICA Business Council and the 8th Business Forum "Prospects for Cooperation of CICA Member States in Food Security, Renewable Energy and Green Finance". This event was organized by IFCA and included speeches of various experts and presentation of investment projects in the field of food security, renewable energy and green finance.

On December 1, in Astana, we took part in the negotiations of exporters with foreign partners organized by QazTrade Trade Policy Development Center JSC. In this B2B format, we had the opportunity to establish contacts and discuss prospects for cooperation with representatives of countries such as Turkey, Oman, Azerbaijan, Russia, China, UAE and Uzbekistan. This event not only helped us to expand the geography of our partnerships, but also inspired us with new ideas and projects.

The next day, again in Astana, on December 2 we took part in QazTrade Accelerator program participants' meeting. This event allowed us to share our experience and knowledge with young entrepreneurs and startups, which contributes to the development of the business ecosystem in Kazakhstan.

On December 14, we held a conference organized by the Kazakhstan Association of Nutritionists, where we actively discussed the issues of traceability of food products and their impact on health.

We thank everyone for their participation and support in these events. Our achievements and experience gained during these events will contribute to the further development of Prometeo Chain System and strengthening of our partnerships.
