InnoWeek 2026: advanced innovations for a changing world
On October 27-29, 2026, Tashkent will host InnoWeek 2026 under the motto “Advanced innovations for a changing world”. The event will be organized at the Central Asian Expocenter (CAEx).
InnoWeek, held since 2028, brings together scientists, developers, technology companies, startups, investors, government officials, and international organizations. The event aims to promote the integration of scientific developments into the economy and to strengthen cooperation among science, business, and manufacturing.
The 2026 program features international conferences and forums focused on artificial intelligence, digital transformation, green energy, industrial modernization, human capital, and technological cooperation.
A special place on the innovation week agenda is reserved for the interaction among the Central Asian states and leading European and Asian partners. In particular, events are planned to foster cooperation with the European Union, discussions on mechanisms for integration into the Horizon Europe program, and scientific and innovation meetings with representatives of the business and scientific communities from Germany, Japan, and several other countries.
The Innovate Together international forum, dedicated to advancing global scientific cooperation, implementing artificial intelligence technologies, and promoting high-tech solutions, will become the primary integration platform for this dialogue.
A significant part of the InnoWeek program traditionally focuses on supporting young scientists, inventors, and the startup community. Authors of promising startups will have the opportunity to showcase their technological solutions to international experts and venture investors and find strategic partners for the subsequent commercialization of their projects.
Thus, InnoWeek 2026 goes beyond a traditional exhibition. The event is designed to become an effective ecosystem in which a fundamental scientific idea receives direct practical continuation – from the conclusion of international agreements and the attraction of investments to the full implementation of ready-made technologies in the real sector of production.
