Orbis Group strategy for 2026: people, artificial intelligence, and learning

At the end of 2025, Orbis Group held a strategic leadership meeting in Almaty, where the company outlined its key priorities for the coming years. The focus is clear: human capital, technology, and education as the foundation for sustainable growth.

People at the Core

In a time of rapid change and technological acceleration, Orbis Group is guided by a simple but fundamental belief: behind every successful business are people. According to Orbis Group founder Farrukh Makhmudov, work should remain a source of stability and confidence—not only for employees themselves, but also for their families.

“Behind every phase of growth are people. For me, it is important that work remains a safe harbor—a place where people feel confident and understand the meaning of what they do,” says Farrukh Makhmudov.

A culture of trust, respect, and support is seen not as an abstract value, but as a practical driver of long-term performance. When people feel secure and engaged, businesses become more resilient and effective.

Special attention is also given to talent development and continuity. Orbis Group views the transfer of experience and professional traditions as a critical asset—especially in an era defined by constant transformation.

Developing Key Industries

Looking ahead, the company is focused on strengthening production and supply chains, as well as expanding local operations.

In the coming years, Orbis Group plans to:

• expand its presence in the automotive sector;
• develop mechanical engineering initiatives, including commercial vehicles;
• implement major construction and industrial infrastructure projects;
• strengthen its agribusiness operations with a focus on product processing.

These initiatives are designed not only to drive business growth, but also to contribute to economic development and job creation.

Efficiency and Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence is another cornerstone of the 2026 strategy. At Orbis Group, AI is approached not as a trend, but as a practical tool to enhance efficiency—from analytics and forecasting to operational optimization.

“Artificial intelligence is not a replacement for people—it is a tool that amplifies human potential. Technology delivers results only when people use it consciously and responsibly,”
notes Farrukh Makhmudov.

The emphasis is on measurable impact. Solutions that demonstrate real value are scaled across the organization, while decision-making remains firmly grounded in human judgment and accountability.

Education as a Long-Term Investment

Learning is seen as a continuous process rather than a one-time initiative. Orbis Group considers 2026 a year of active skills renewal across all levels—from senior leadership to young professionals.

“Learning is not a phase—it is a permanent state. In a fast-changing world, everyone must keep learning, regardless of position or experience,”
says the founder of Orbis Group.

This approach goes beyond training programs and courses. It is about fostering a culture of curiosity, adaptability, and collaboration, including partnerships with universities and the attraction of young talent.

Looking Ahead

Orbis Group’s strategy for 2026 is built on balance: between people and technology, experience and new knowledge, stability and growth. This balance allows the company not only to adapt to change, but to shape its own path forward.

At Orbis Group, shared effort, trust, and a commitment to learning are seen as the true drivers of progress—both in business and beyond.
