FARMBUDGET – KAZAKHSTAN 2026: For the first time in Kazakhstan — a key conference on budgeting and strategy for pharmaceutical companies.

On September 18, 2025, the FARMBUDGET – KAZAKHSTAN 2026 conference will take place in Almaty — a specialized event for executives responsible for strategic planning, budgeting, and development in pharmaceutical companies.

For the first time in Kazakhstan

In 2025, the event will be organized in Kazakhstan for the first time, creating a new platform for professional dialogue and the adaptation of best practices to the realities of the local market.
