“In our work routine, we often don’t have enough time for business meetings with old and new partners, colleagues and friends. Although sometimes 5-10 minutes are enough to talk and resolve issues and plan events. It is for such purposes that we hold informal IBC Meetups, where in a relaxed atmosphere and in a short time, businesses and other business partners discuss mutual issues and more,” said IBC Executive Director Askar Sydykov welcoming the participants.

For each such meeting, we choose an interesting, common and at the same time abstract topic, and also introduce new members of the association, after which it is time for informal interaction between IBC members.

Previous IBC Meetup topics covered education, ESG, digital innovation in the financial sector, and others.

Currently, the IBC includes more than a hundred organizations, which account for over 20 percent of tax revenues in Kyrgyzstan. Every year, new companies from a wide variety of industries and sub-sectors of the economy join the association.

“This means that in our country there is growing interest in business associations, and companies and entrepreneurs are becoming more active, socially responsible and want to contribute to the economy. We, for our part, will try to continue to support businesses and help implement their ideas,” the IBC head said.

Then Daniyar Mederov, Chairman of the IBC Board, presented the companies — new IBC members with certificates of membership in the organization. We are pleased to introduce new IBC members:

Representative office of the IPChain Association (National Coordination Center for Processing Transactions with Rights and Objects of Intellectual Property). The task of the Representative Office is to create a national IPChain network in Kyrgyzstan;
