Ua lilo kēia makahiki i mea koʻikoʻi no Kazakhstan ma muli o kahi hanana hōʻailona ma Astana. Ua mālama ʻia kahi International Specialized Exhibition EXPO 2017 ma ke kumuhana o Future Energy ma ke kūlanakauhale. Ma waena o Iune 10 a me Kepakemapa 10, ua lilo ʻo Astana i hoʻokahi o nā wahi moʻomeheu maikaʻi loa. Ma ka hōʻikeʻike, 115 mau ʻāina a me 22 mau hui honua i hōʻike i kā lākou hoʻomohala a me nā ʻenehana i ke kahua o ka ikehu ʻokoʻa.
Ke hoʻokipa nei ʻo Astana EXPO 2017 i nā malihini ʻoiai ʻoiai ua pau ka hōʻikeʻike kūikawā honua. Ma ka lā 11 o Nowemapa, ma ke ʻano he papahana post-exhibition, ua hoʻomaka ka wahi mākaʻikaʻi ma ka pūnaewele EXPO 2017 i kāna hana. Aia kēia wahi i ka Future Energy Museum ma ka hale hoʻokipa ʻo Nur Alem, ka Art Center, ka Hale Hōʻikeʻike, nā hale hoʻonaʻauao a me ka Energy Best Practice Area (eBPa).

Ma waho aʻe, ua wehe ʻia ka "kaona hau" nui loa ma Astana ma ka pūnaewele EXPO. Ma ke "kūlanakauhale" i hoʻolaʻa ʻia i ke kumumanaʻo EXPO, ua hoʻokomo ʻia nā hiʻohiʻona hau o ka Crystal Palace i kūkulu mua ʻia no ka hōʻike mua EXPO i mālama ʻia ma Ladana ma 1851 a me ka hale kiaʻi ʻo Eiffel ʻo ia ka puka komo i ka hōʻikeʻike Paris i mālama ʻia ma. 1889.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Mr Loscertales ʻo ia ka hōʻikeʻike kūikawā maikaʻi loa i ka mōʻaukala BIE.
Ua hoʻoikaika ka hōʻikeʻike honua i ka hana i manaʻo ʻia e huki pololei i ka hoʻopukapuka kālā o nā ʻāina ʻē i ka hoʻokele waiwai o ka repubalika. Ua wehe ʻia kahi kikowaena hou hou ma ke kahua mokulele ʻo Astana, ua kūkulu ʻia kahi kahua kaʻaahi hou a ua wehe ʻia nā hōkele a me nā hale hoʻokipa hou.
Eia kekahi, ma hope o ka pau ʻana o ka hōʻike, hoʻomaka ʻo Kazakhstan e hana i ka hoʻolaha ʻana i nā papahana nui e pili ana i nā ʻenehana hou i hōʻike ʻia i ka wā EXPO.
