Silk Road 2026

 We are happy to share that Royal Dutch Kusters Engineering will join The Silk Road Cash & Payments Conference, organised by Currency Research in Almaty, Kazakhstan. This leading event brings together central banks, commercial banks, payment providers, regulators and industry suppliers from Central Asia and other regions to look at the newest technologies, good practices and key developments in cash and payments.

 As a trusted partner for currency issuers and financial institutions worldwide, we look forward to joining the talks on how to make the cash cycle more secure, efficient and sustainable.

A key forum for the cash and payments ecosystem 

Since its first edition, The Silk Road Cash & Payments Conference has grown into an important and respected place for sharing knowledge and working together in the region. Previous conferences have welcomed many delegates from central banks, commercial banks, payment providers, regulators and government bodies from more than 30 countries. This creates a unique setting for open discussions about the future of cash and payments.

The event has a clear programme, strong speakers and a good mix of people from both the public and private sectors. This makes it an ideal place to talk about how cash and digital payments can exist side by side, support each other and continue to serve people and societies in an effective and reliable way.

Why this conference matters now

Across the world, the way cash moves through the economy is changing fast. New technology, changing customer needs and policies like financial inclusion and resilience all have an impact on how cash is made, used and taken out of circulation. At the same time, central banks and commercial banks must manage risk, keep the trust of the public and make their work more sustainable.

The Silk Road Cash & Payments Conference is an important place to talk about these topics. It offers a strong platform to explore how technology, resilience and trust can support every step of the cash cycle. This includes better handling of banknotes and coins, safe destruction of unfit currency and careful recycling of remaining materials, so that cash systems stay strong while also supporting environmental and cost‑efficiency goals.

Royal Dutch Kusters Engineering has worked in the currency market for more than 40 years. We help central banks, printing works and mints modernise how they process and destroy cash. For us, this conference is a valuable chance to share ideas on how to prepare the cash cycle for the future in a way that is both practical and responsible for society.
