From April 22 to 24, 2026, the DPGI team took part in the international RES 2026 exhibition held in Astana, bringing together representatives of industry, the environmental sector, government organizations, and the engineering community.

Over the course of three days, the company's specialists worked at their own exhibition stand, presenting solutions in the fields of industrial engineering, environmental infrastructure, and waste processing.

One of the central topics of DPGI’s participation was the issue of municipal solid waste management in Kazakhstan. Despite the gradual development of the sector, many regions still face a shortage of modern processing facilities, high logistics costs, and significant volumes of accumulated waste.
As part of the exhibition, the DPGI team presented the concept of mobile municipal solid waste processing centers — an engineering solution designed for regions where the construction of large stationary facilities is economically challenging or requires a significant implementation period.

This approach makes it possible to locate processing capacities directly near waste accumulation sites, reducing transportation costs and accelerating the return of secondary resources into economic circulation. Depending on project requirements, the mobile facilities can be equipped with various sorting, material preparation, and waste processing lines for specific waste fractions.

During the exhibition, DPGI representatives held a number of meetings with market participants, discussed the prospects for the development of the waste management sector in Kazakhstan, and exchanged experience with international companies and industry experts.

Particular attention from visitors to the stand was focused on the integration of environmental technologies into existing industrial infrastructure. The company’s specialists presented their experience in environmental engineering, wastewater treatment, industrial ecology, and the integrated design of waste processing facilities.

Participation in RES 2026 became an important platform for DPGI for professional dialogue and the discussion of engineering solutions capable of contributing to the development of modern environmental infrastructure in Kazakhstan and other countries of the region.

From April 22 to 24, 2026, the DPGI team participated in the Regional Environmental Summit RES 2026 held in Astana.

One of the key topics of the event was climate challenges, sustainable industrial development, and the role of modern technologies in addressing environmental issues. As part of the business program, participants discussed water resource management, environmental modernization of industrial facilities, industry digitalization, and the application of artificial intelligence for environmental monitoring.

For DPGI, these areas are directly connected with the development of modern industrial engineering. Today, environmental efficiency has become an integral part of the design of industrial facilities, water treatment infrastructure, waste processing systems, and next-generation industrial complexes.

During the summit, company representatives held a number of meetings with industry participants, discussed the prospects for implementing advanced engineering solutions across Central Asia, and exchanged experience with representatives of business, academia, and government organizations.

Participation in RES 2026 provided DPGI with an opportunity to join a professional dialogue on the future of industry, environmental sustainability, and technological development in the region.

Infineon Technologies has announced the launch of Startup Challenge 2026, an international support program for technology startups working in the fields of humanoid robotics and Physical AI systems.

The program is aimed at advancing solutions in sensing technologies, machine perception, human–machine interaction, motion control, and drive systems. Participants will gain access to Infineon’s engineering expertise, prototyping hardware platforms, and support from industry experts and investors.

The growing interest in humanoid robotics reflects a broader trend currently shaping global industry. Modern manufacturing facilities are increasingly adopting intelligent control systems, automated production complexes, and machine-driven data analysis technologies.

According to DPGI specialists, the development of robotics will become one of the key factors transforming the industrial sector over the next decade. However, the critical challenge will not only be the creation of robotic systems themselves, but also the ability to integrate them into existing production infrastructure.

In this context, integrated engineering solutions that combine automation, digital design, industrial equipment, and control systems into a unified technological environment are becoming increasingly important.

In early 2026, several European industry associations issued a joint statement regarding new steel market protection measures proposed by the European Commission.

According to industry representatives, the proposed restrictions could significantly affect companies involved in the production of equipment, machinery, steel structures, and industrial infrastructure. Among the key risks identified are rising raw material costs, increased administrative burdens, and potential supply challenges for specialized steel grades that are manufactured by only a limited number of producers worldwide.

Particular attention is being paid to the potential increase in the cost of high-quality steel required for complex engineering and industrial projects. This could affect the competitiveness of European manufacturers and increase the cost of delivering new industrial facilities.

For companies operating in the field of industrial engineering, these developments highlight the importance of long-term supply planning, supply chain diversification, and the search for efficient engineering solutions at the early stages of project development.

According to DPGI specialists, the resilience of modern industrial projects is increasingly determined not only by the quality of engineering solutions, but also by the ability to anticipate changes in global materials and equipment markets. In an environment of growing uncertainty, an integrated approach to engineering and industrial project management is becoming particularly valuable.

European industry organizations and research centers have put forward an initiative to develop a new format for the EU Industrial Forum for the 2026–2029 period.

The updated platform is expected to become a key mechanism for cooperation between industry, the scientific community, and European institutions in the development of European Union industrial policy.

The initiative comes at a time of significant challenges for European industry. These include increasing global competition, declining investment activity, growing regulatory pressure, and the need for accelerated technological development in response to competition from the United States and China.

Participants in the initiative propose using the Industrial Forum as a permanent platform for discussing future legislative and economic decisions before their official adoption. Particular attention is expected to be given to industrial competitiveness, innovation, manufacturing digitalization, and the development of Europe’s technological sovereignty.
For companies operating in the field of industrial engineering, such initiatives are an important signal of the continued strengthening of EU industrial policy. In the coming years, the modernization of production facilities, the implementation of new technologies, and the improvement of industrial infrastructure efficiency will remain among the key priorities of European economic development.

According to DPGI specialists, the long-term competitiveness of European industry will largely depend on its ability to combine engineering expertise, innovation, and effective cooperation between business, government, and the scientific community.
