Industrial factories are located to the north of the village.

In recent years there has been interest from investors, including an Indian firm looking to develop beer factory production facilities in Birlik. In July 2003 it was reported that a Social Youth Service Centre was likely to open in Birlik as part of a scheme with Almaty Region to improve youth development. A conference was held in which the Almaty Youth Association presented a plan for developments in the Almaty area to tackle problems of youth unemployment and drug abuse.
