Preparations for the Tashkent International Investment Forum reviewed
President Shavkat Mirziyoyev was briefed on preparations for the upcoming Tashkent International Investment Forum.
The forum is an important international platform for showcasing Uzbekistan’s investment potential and for developing and promoting new mutually beneficial projects with foreign partners.
While the first forum, held in 2022, drew more than 1,000 foreign guests from 56 countries, this year’s fifth Tashkent International Investment Forum, scheduled for June 16-18, is expected to bring together more than 8,000 participants from 99 countries, including about 3,100 foreign guests.
Invited attendees include foreign government leaders and representatives, officials from renowned international financial institutions, key corporations and investment funds, and representatives from the business community.
The presentation outlined the forum’s schedule and upcoming events, including a plenary session, bilateral meetings, sector and regional presentations, signing ceremonies for investment agreements, and business meetings.
The exhibition of Uzbekistan’s investment potential is expected to showcase opportunities in agriculture, light industry, geology, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, the chemical industry, energy, artificial intelligence, and the IT sector.
The forum will also host the next plenary session of the Foreign Investors Council under the President. It will consider issues to improve the investment climate in the country, accelerate industrial, technological and innovative development, and create even more favorable conditions for the private sector and international investors.
A major package of investment agreements is also expected to be signed at the current forum. Active work is underway to prepare new projects.
The agreements under development cover such important areas as the chemical industry, geology and metallurgy, light industry, electrical and mechanical engineering, pharmaceuticals, agriculture, building materials, energy and the environment, digital technologies, construction and infrastructure, banking and finance, transportation and logistics, tourism, and education.
The implementation of these projects will contribute to the creation of new jobs, the production of high-value-added goods, the enhancement of export potential, the modernization of infrastructure, and the strengthening of the regions’ investment attractiveness.
The Head of State emphasized the importance of holding the forum at a high organizational level and of fully revealing the investment potential of each sector and region through specific projects.
The responsible officials were instructed to ensure the reception of foreign guests, thoroughly organize the event program, define clear mechanisms for implementing the agreements to be signed, and systematically monitor their implementation after the forum concludes.
