The international business forum CABXPO Chicago 2025 brought together over 1,000 participants and more than 150 companies from the United States and Central Asian countries. Among the guests and participants were investors, representatives of small and medium-sized enterprises, and high-ranking government officials.

The forum was attended by the Minister of Digital Technologies of the Republic of Uzbekistan, Sherzod Shermatov.

Particular recognition was given to the contribution of the investment platform Way II, which served as the event’s premier sponsor. The company has introduced a new investment culture based on the principles of sustainable development and international cooperation.

Since its founding in 2024, the company has grown from a startup, launched with the idea of connecting reliable investors with promising businesses, into a large-scale platform that has already earned the trust of over 500 investors across Uzbekistan, with more than $15 million in investments under its management.

One of the key projects showcased at the forum was Akfa Aluminium Group, one of Uzbekistan’s leading companies in the metallurgy and construction sectors. With a 25-year history, the company currently exports its products to more than 30 countries. According to an assessment by a leading international auditing firm from the “Big Four”, the company’s valuation is $550 million.

In addition, forum participants were introduced to the mobile platform Way Invest, designed to make investing as accessible as possible to a broad audience. The platform enables users to invest online, track dividends, participate in the secondary market, and receive real-time investment news.

As part of its international expansion strategy, the application now allows registration using foreign phone numbers and supports investments through international payment cards such as Visa and MasterCard. This creates favorable conditions for global investors and partners interested in investing through Way II.

Way II is one of the few platforms in the region that strictly adheres to Islamic finance principles, making it especially attractive to investors seeking halal and sustainable financial solutions.

Way II’s participation in CABXPO Chicago 2025 marked an essential step toward strengthening economic ties between Central Asia and the United States.

The platform offers an alternative investment solution with a minimum entry amount starting from 14,300,000 UZS and an expected annual return of 10-15%, without losses due to currency fluctuations, as payouts are calculated based on the current exchange rate of the Central Bank.
