Bashkortostan to take part in “INNOPROM. Central Asia” exhibition in Tashkent
From April 20 to 22, 2026, the 6th International Industrial Exhibition “INNOPROM. Central Asia” will take place in Tashkent, Uzbekistan.
The event will be held with the support of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation and the Ministry of Investments, Industry and Trade of the Republic of Uzbekistan, and will serve as a key platform for dialogue among industrialists across the region.
The Republic of Bashkortostan will traditionally participate in this event in Tashkent. The region will be represented not only by a collective stand but also by an extensive, multi-sector business mission organized to strengthen export potential and seek new partners in Uzbekistan.
The business program will focus on mechanical engineering, energy, metallurgy, and digital and manufacturing technologies. The organizers expect participation from companies in more than 35 countries and over 11,000 visitors. More than 20 business events have been planned for participants, including thematic sessions and roundtables dedicated to current issues in trade and industrial cooperation in Central Asia.
Margarita Bolycheva, Minister of Foreign Economic Relations and Congress Activity of the Republic of Bashkortostan, commented on preparations for the event:
“Participation in the “INNOPROM. Central Asia” exhibition has become a well-established and highly effective practice for Bashkortostan, contributing to the development of international cooperation. At last year’s event, our companies held more than 300 negotiations with Uzbek business representatives, resulting in the signing of several agreements. In particular, the volume of fruit and vegetable supplies alone reached $110 million. This year, we are aiming for even more significant results. Our delegation includes more than 30 companies ready to present products to Uzbekistan partners in mechanical engineering, petrochemicals, the agro-industrial complex, and IT. We are creating all the conditions for direct dialogue: from organizing targeted B2B meetings to providing full on-site support for negotiations”.
This year, for enterprises in the country interested in entering the Uzbekistan market, the Export Support Center has developed a convenient online system for registering for B2B meetings, allowing participants to pre-arrange negotiation schedules with potential partners, distributors, and buyers.
The exhibition program itself covers key industrial sectors: sessions on green industrialization, modern transportation and advanced energy technologies, Digital Manufacturing Day and AI in industry, technologies for the aviation, medical, and pharmaceutical industries, the transformation of logistics in Central Asia, INNOPROM University, and sessions dedicated to the development of industrial infrastructure.
The central event of the first day will be the main plenary session, featuring Denis Manturov, First Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation, Jamshid Khodjayev, Deputy Prime Minister of the Republic of Uzbekistan, and heads of international delegations and leaders of major industrial corporations.
