TASHKENT, Uzbekistan, June 16. The 5th
anniversary Tashkent International Investment Forum (TIIF 2026) has
kicked off in the capital of Uzbekistan, becoming a crucial
platform for dialogue between investors, government agencies, and
international financial institutions, Trend's special correspondent reports.
The anniversary forum continues the trajectory of the successful
4th TIIF 2025, when Tashkent hosted more than 8,000 participants
from nearly 100 countries. During that event's business program, 36
thematic sessions were held featuring over 150 experts. Last year's
forum concluded with investment contracts and agreements valued at
more than $30 billion.
The forum included a large-scale industrial exhibition featuring
over 100 domestic manufacturers, alongside numerous B2B
(business-to-business) and B2G (business-to-government) meetings,
where discussions rapidly translate into real-world projects and
agreements. TIIF 2026 has strengthened its reputation as a venue
where ideas are quickly realized into concrete investments.
TIIF 2026 demonstrates a high level of trust among international
partners in the economy of Uzbekistan.
The anniversary forum is designed not only to consolidate
previous achievements but also to expand the geography of its
participants, deepen sector-specific specialization, and enhance
the practical focus of its events. Today, TIIF serves as an
indicator of confidence from international capital and a platform
for integrating Uzbekistan into global value chains.
TIIF 2026 confirms Uzbekistan's status as one of the leading
investment hubs in Central Asia, opening up new opportunities for
strategic cooperation with global markets.
Earlier, the President of the European Bank for Reconstruction
and Development (EBRD), Odile Renaud-Basso, noted that the bank's
participation in the forum reflects its confidence in the long-term
potential of the region and its readiness to support sustainable
projects alongside local partners.
