# BMC announces new strategic course: development of regional ecosystems and socio-business networks in Kazakhstan
**BenchMark Consulting LLP (BMC)** announces a new stage of its development. Based on more than 30 years of experience in consulting, digitalization and support of economic transformations in Kazakhstan, the company is committed to the formation of modern industry and intersectoral ecosystems that unite business, education, government and society in a single digital space.
Since its foundation in 1992, BMC has been involved in key stages of the country's economic development: from supporting privatization and evaluating enterprises to developing business plans, investment programs, marketing strategies, and implementing digital solutions. Today, the company is focused on creating tools for sustainable territorial and sectoral development.
## A new direction of development
The formation and development of ecosystems in the following areas is becoming a strategic priority of BMC:
* Industry and industrial clusters;
* Education and training of personnel;
* Tourism and regional tourist routes;
* agro-industrial complex;
* Industry and cross-industry clusters;
* territorial hubs of regional development;
* Social and business networks and partner communities.
The main goal of the company is to create conditions for effective interaction between enterprises, educational organizations, development institutions, government authorities and residents of the regions based on modern digital technologies.
## The digital foundation of ecosystems
The new course is based on the development of a **Social and business network Agartu.kz **, which will become a platform for bringing together participants in regional and industry ecosystems. The network will allow you to form business communities, develop cooperation, share knowledge, find partners and implement joint projects.
To solve practical problems of ecosystem interaction, the services of the Kazakh author's platform **BMC Sales** will be used, providing:
* creation and management of partner networks;
* promotion of goods, services and investment projects;
* development of sales channels and cooperative chains;
* digital support of clusters and territorial hubs;
* Interaction between business, education and government institutions;
* Development of entrepreneurial and public initiatives.
## Ecosystem of domestic digital solutions
The new stage of development is based on the digital platforms and services created by BMC, including:
* social and business network **Agartu.kz **;
* SAAS platform **KDT.kz**;
* national distribution network **NCDN.kz**;
* educational portal **Otanbilim.kz**;
* travel portal **BMC Tourism**;
* universal payment integrator **UPI.kz**;
* Partner sales network **BMC Sales**.
The integration of these solutions makes it possible to form a unified digital infrastructure for the development of regions, industries and entrepreneurship.
## Contribution to the sustainable development of Kazakhstan
Continuing its social mission, BMC considers digital technologies not as an end in itself, but as a tool for improving the quality of life, developing human capital and strengthening the regional economy.
The company is convinced that the future of Kazakhstan is linked to the creation of strong territorial and sectoral ecosystems in which education, production, tourism, the agricultural sector and entrepreneurship operate as a single system. That is why BMC focuses its efforts on developing social and business networks, clusters, and digital platforms that contribute to sustainable economic growth and the achievement of the country's strategic development goals.
