Global investors to gather in Uzbekistan’s capital as the country showcases reforms, major projects and regional opportunities

Tashkent International Investment Forum 2026 will take place from June 16 to 19, positioning Uzbekistan’s capital as a key investment gateway in Central Asia.

The fifth anniversary forum is expected to bring together global investors, government officials, international financial institutions and major corporations, highlighting Tashkent’s growing role in regional economic integration.

Organizers say the event will build on the momentum of the 2025 forum, which attracted more than 8,000 participants from 97 countries and resulted in investment agreements worth over $30 bn.

This year’s programme will feature panel discussions, business-to-business and government-to-business meetings, as well as a large-scale exhibition showcasing projects across key sectors such as petrochemicals, engineering, construction materials, pharmaceuticals and food processing.

The forum aims to promote Uzbekistan’s economic reforms, attract foreign capital and technologies, and identify new areas for international cooperation.

With increasing international participation and expanding sectoral focus, the event is expected to further strengthen Tashkent’s position as a rising investment capital of Central Asia.
