en.Wedoany.com Reported - Atyrau Oil and Gas University in Kazakhstan and Shanghai Aiko New Energy Co., Ltd. (referred to as "Aiko New Energy", 600732.SH) recently signed a memorandum of cooperation. The two parties will jointly build the AIKO-AOGU Zero-Carbon Smart Agriculture Demonstration Park and Joint Research, Teaching, and Exhibition Center project in Atyrau Oblast, Kazakhstan. The project integrates new energy, artificial intelligence, and water-saving agricultural technologies, focusing on agricultural upgrades in arid and water-scarce regions.
Aiko New Energy, headquartered in Shanghai, is a new energy enterprise specializing in the research, development, production, and sales of photovoltaic cells and modules. Atyrau Oil and Gas University, located in Atyrau city, is a key energy-focused higher education institution in Kazakhstan. The first phase of the project plans to construct solar greenhouses and demonstration agricultural land, equipped with intelligent water and fertilizer management, water resource recycling, photovoltaic energy storage, and a digital monitoring and management platform. The park will integrate photovoltaic energy, AI intelligent management, and automated farming technologies, while simultaneously exploring diversified aquaculture models. This approach is tailored to the local arid and water-scarce climate conditions and will also provide an international scientific research and practice platform for university faculty and students.
The Atyrau region has an arid climate and scarce water resources, leading to low efficiency and weak risk resistance in traditional agricultural production. Kazakhstan is currently vigorously promoting industrial diversification to reduce resource dependence, with a key focus on advancing low-carbon and intelligent agricultural upgrades. Transforming traditional industries by leveraging renewable energy and smart agricultural technologies has become a core pathway for the country to enhance grain production capacity, implement sustainable development strategies, and establish itself as a green innovation hub in Central Asia. In this cooperation, Aiko New Energy leverages its advantages in photovoltaic and zero-carbon technologies to enter the new track of smart agriculture in Central Asia, achieving cross-sector application of new energy scenarios and expanding its overseas green technology export footprint. For Kazakhstan, the project establishes a localized platform for testing and transforming green technologies, addresses gaps in smart agricultural technology, and helps position Atyrau as a highland for renewable energy innovation in Central Asia.
