Central Asia Energy Hub is an industrial and technology platform that gives European companies a structured way into energy and industrial projects across Central Asia.
European companies have the capabilities. Central Asia has the projects. The platform connects the two in a structured way.
We work with European industrial and technology companies that have capabilities in energy, manufacturing and infrastructure, and with partners across the region who are developing projects. We select the capabilities that fit a project, agree the scope of the mandate, define the conditions for each step, and build long-term partnerships. Central Asia needs European technology and industrial partners for the long term. The hub gives European companies a clear way in.

Andrey Kashechkin
Founder & Platform Architect
Andrey Kashechkin founded Central Asia Energy Hub, drawing on more than 25 years of experience working between Europe and Kazakhstan. His professional journey began in Belgium and gradually expanded through engagement with industrial companies across Europe.
During the first phase of Kazakhstan’s industrialisation programme (2010–2014), Andrey served as an independent, non-staff adviser to the Deputy Prime Minister – Minister of Industry and New Technologies, focusing on attracting foreign industrial companies and investment.
In 2016, he was awarded the medal “25 Years of Kazakhstan’s Independence” by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
At EXPO 2017 Astana, he served as Commissioner for CMI Group, now John Cockerill, representing the Group’s Belgian industrial activities.
With experience on both sides, in Europe and in Central Asia, Andrey built the platform to connect the two markets and give European companies a clear way into the region.
