President Shavkat Mirziyoyev received a government meeting regarding preparations for the upcoming Tashkent International Investment Forum Tuesday.
This year, the fifth Tashkent International Investment Forum—scheduled for June 16–18—is expected to bring together more than 8,000 participants from 99 countries, including approximately 3,100 foreign delegates.
The guest list features heads of state and government representatives, alongside leaders from prominent international financial institutions, major corporations, investment funds, and global business communities.
The meeting outlined the program for the forum and its side events. Highlights include a plenary session, bilateral meetings, sector-specific and regional presentations, investment agreement signing ceremonies, and B2B networking sessions.
An exhibition dedicated to Uzbekistan’s investment landscape will spotlight opportunities across key sectors, including agriculture, light industry, geology, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, chemicals, energy, artificial intelligence, and information technology.
The meeting highlighted that the forum has evolved into a premier international platform to showcase Uzbekistan's vast investment potential, as well as to develop and promote mutually beneficial projects with foreign partners. The inaugural event in 2022 drew over 1,000 foreign guests from 56 nations.
The forum will also host the next plenary session of the Foreign Investors Council under the President of Uzbekistan. The session will focus on further improving the country's investment climate, accelerating industrial, technological, and innovative development, and creating an even more favorable environment for private enterprises and international investors.
A massive portfolio of major investment agreements is slated for signature during this year's forum, with active work currently underway to finalize the new project pipeline.
The agreements under development span critical sectors, including the chemical industry, geology and metallurgy, light industry, electrical and mechanical engineering, pharmaceuticals, agriculture, construction materials, energy and ecology, digital technologies, construction and infrastructure, banking and finance, transport and logistics, tourism, and education.
The execution of these projects is set to drive job creation, boost high-value-added manufacturing, expand export potential, modernize infrastructure, and strengthen the investment appeal of Uzbekistan's diverse regions.
Relevant officials have been instructed to ensure high-level hospitality for the arriving international guests, precisely organize the event programming, establish concrete execution mechanisms for the upcoming agreements, and implement a system for rigorous, ongoing monitoring after the forum concludes.
