KIHE 2027: medicine and pharma of Central Asia

About the show

32nd Kazakhstan International Healthcare Exhibition KIHE

KIHE is Central Asia's largest showcase for medicine and pharmaceuticals. It is visited by doctors, pharmacists, hospital managers, government and business representatives. The show is supported by the Ministry of Health of Kazakhstan; the business programme includes forums, conferences and meetings with delegations of chief physicians.

One venue — 2 exhibitions

Runs simultaneously with PharmaTech Kazakhstan 2027

KIHE and PharmaTech Kazakhstan run simultaneously at the Atakent Exhibition Centre and count visitors together: in 2026 — 5,616 unique visitors and 400 exhibitors from 24 countries (ITECA report). One visitor ticket opens all the halls, so visitors to the neighbouring shows also walk past your stand. If your product sits between topics, we'll choose the show where you have fewer competitors and more target visitors.

What BXG does

You negotiate. We do everything else

A stand alone doesn't bring contacts. Preparation before the show and follow-up after it do, and that is the part we take on.

01🤝

We schedule meetings with buyers before departure

Through our agent network and industry databases, we look for distributors, importers and end buyers from Kazakhstan for your product. We vet each one, send them your offer and draw up a schedule of meetings at your stand for every day of the show.

02🏗

A stand that works

Design for the task: where to show samples, where to negotiate, what to put on the façade. Construction, furniture, lighting, regional or company branding.

03💳

We handle all the payment hassle

We pay the organizer ourselves. You pay us in rubles under a Russian contract and receive a full set of closing documents. Deferred payment is possible.

transfers abroad, currency control, questions from the bank

04📦

Samples arrive on time

We handle delivery of samples and materials to the stand and return shipping after the show. Within the EAEU — no customs clearance at the border.

Preparation for negotiations

Before the trip: a Kazakhstan market briefing, price benchmarks, a negotiation script. Talks are in Russian; a Kazakh interpreter is available if needed.

Frequently asked questions

Answers to the key questions

We're an ESC. What are the deadlines under the Order?

Under Order No. 2797 of the Ministry of Industry and Trade, selection for individual stands takes place before December 1 of the year preceding the show — that is, before December 1, 2026. Preparation of a regional pavilion starts no later than 2 months before, that is, by March 19, 2027. Write now — we'll have time to prepare the documents and book the space.

How is KIHE 2027 different from the neighbouring shows?

KIHE 2027 covers medicine and healthcare. PharmaTech Kazakhstan 2027 takes place on the same days at the same venue. A stand is booked for a specific show, but visitors walk through all the halls. We'll suggest which section gives your product less competition.

Do we need customs clearance and certification?

Kazakhstan is an EAEU member: there is no customs clearance at the border with Russia, and common technical regulations and EAEU conformity documents apply. We'll confirm the specific procedure for your products and samples when we prepare the quote.

How do you guarantee meetings?

We schedule meetings in advance with specific companies that have confirmed interest in your product. Before the show you receive their list with a profile of each company. The outcome of the talks depends on your offer, but your stand won't be empty.

How do we pay?

You pay us in rubles under a contract with a Russian legal entity and receive closing documents. We settle with the organizer and contractors in Kazakhstan ourselves.

Can we get our costs reimbursed?

In many regions, Export Support Centers reimburse SMEs for part of their exhibition costs or organize a regional pavilion themselves. We'll tell you what is available in your region.

Do we need a visa?

Russian citizens don't need a visa for Kazakhstan; entry is possible with an internal passport. We arrange flights, the hotel and transfers.
