Technological sovereignty and emerging markets: Tashkent exhibition “INNOPROM. Central Asia”

From April 20 to 22, 2026, the International Industrial Exhibition “INNOPROM. Central Asia” will take place in Tashkent. It will gather representatives from government agencies, investors, and manufacturers from Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Belarus, and other nations.

Last year, the exhibition was visited by 11,000 people from 35 countries, and over 500 companies showcased technological solutions. The event is a major part of the global INNOPROM brand, the largest industrial exhibition in the CIS countries. It has been held annually since 2010 in Yekaterinburg, drawing 50,000 visitors from 60 nations. Since 2019, the exhibition has also taken place in Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Belarus, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt.

In Tashkent, the event centers on building business connections and practically implementing joint projects. The emphasis is on companies seeking to reorient their exports: shifting cooperation from Western markets to Central Asia provides access to more affordable, high-quality technological solutions.

In 2026, the exhibition will highlight the versatility of technologies across all industrial sectors: from solutions for urban development and transportation systems to advanced equipment and manufacturing automation. Attendees will see an intelligent system for monitoring engineering infrastructure, models of cars, helicopters, and high-speed trains, AI-powered educational drones, robotic equipment for industrial operations, a digital platform based on machine vision for production lines, a system for organizing autonomous energy supply for buildings, and much more.

Among the confirmed participants are major industrial companies: TMH, Rosatom, KAMAZ, Rostec, Natsproektstroy, and the Russian Export Center (REC).

The main event is the plenary session scheduled for April 20.
