International specialized exhibition EXPO 2017 themed "Future Energy" will be held in the capital of Kazakhstan from June 10 to September 10, 2017. It is expected that the exhibition will be visited by over 5 million people from around the world.

"Future Energy" EXPO 2017 aims to explore the strategies, programs and technologies aimed at the development of sustainable energy sources, increasing energy efficiency and reliability. Its purpose is to encourage the use of renewable energy sources and the efficient use of energy resources.

Energy resources that are available to us today are an integral heritage of mankind, which must be used responsibly and rationally. The objective of this global event is to call for a sense of responsibility in the international community for the planning and control of energy consumption, as well as searching for sustainable energy sources needed for future generations and the preservation of all life on our planet.

Kazakhstan's candidacy to host EXPO 2017 was endorsed at the meeting of the executive committee of the International Exhibitions Bureau in Paris on 24 April 2014. In a secret ballot of 161 representatives of Member States of the BIE, Astana's bid was supported by 103 member countries, while 44 members were against. On a par with Astana, Belgian city of Liege also claimed the right to host EXPO 2017. In its bid, Belgium proposed the theme of "Connecting the World, linking People, better living Together".

Astana EXPO 2017 is designed to raise awareness and tourist attraction of Kazakhstan in the world, and to show hospitality of our people. The exhibition will also be an additional incentive for economic and infrastructural development of both the capital and the country as a whole. Structures being erected on the site of the EXPO will in the future make it possible to view Kazakhstan and its capital as a major international exhibition, information and presentation platform.
