    (2023) Sartbay A.S
    This study, titled "Investigation of the Modern Export Potential of SMEs in the Republic of Kazakhstan," embarks on an empirical examination of the factors influencing the export potential of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) in Kazakhstan. SMEs are recognized globally for their pivotal role in economic development, innovation, and employment creation. Their involvement in international trade, particularly exports, is increasingly acknowledged as significant for economic growth and diversification. This study, drawing upon Internationalization theory and Entrepreneurship theory, aims to elucidate the current status, challenges, and opportunities pertaining to SMEs' export potential in Kazakhstan. The research utilized a quantitative approach, employing a survey questionnaire disseminated to 400 SME owners and managers in Kazakhstan. The final analysis was based on 372 valid responses. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis. The findings from the study indicate that firm size, industry, and government support are key determinants of the export potential of SMEs in Kazakhstan. Challenges, such as access to finance and market information, were also identified. This research contributes to the existing literature on SMEs' export potential in emerging economies, providing valuable insights for policymakers and business practitioners. The findings can inform the formulation of strategies and policies that bolster SMEs' capacity for internationalization. Despite its contributions, the study acknowledges limitations, such as its cross-sectional design and reliance on selfreported data, suggesting avenues for future research.
