The 4th Tashkent International Investment Forum (TIIF), held in the Uzbek capital from June 9 to 12, concluded with the signing of investment contracts and trade agreements totaling $30.5 billion, according to the press service of Uzbekistan’s Ministry of Investment, Industry and Trade (MIIT).
This year’s forum drew over 8,000 participants, including around 3,000 foreign guests from 97 countries — a turnout MIIT says reflects growing global trust and interest in Uzbekistan’s investment climate.
President Shavkat Mirziyoyev took part in the forum’s key events, including the opening ceremony and a meeting of the Foreign Investors Council.
Over the course of the forum, 36 panel sessions were held, featuring more than 150 distinguished speakers — investors, economic experts, and officials from more than 10 countries.
A major new element this year was a large-scale industrial exhibition. Spanning 12,000 square meters, it showcased the products and proposals of 100 Uzbek companies to international guests. Industries represented included:
✅ Electrical engineering
✅ Pharmaceuticals
✅ Food processing
✅ Mechanical engineering
✅ Mining
✅ Metallurgy
✅ Energy
✅ Financial services
✅ IT
✅ Tourism
The exhibition attracted over 2,000 daily visitors and hosted more than 500 B2B (business-to-business) and B2G (business-to-government) meetings.
The forum received broad media coverage, including from international outlets such as Euronews, The Guardian (UK), and Al Jazeera (Qatar).
The forum’s most striking achievement was the record-setting $30.5 billion in agreements — a 14.6% increase from the $26.6 billion signed at last year’s event, and nearly triple the $11 billion signed in 2023.
Commenting on the results, Minister of Investment, Industry and Trade Laziz Kudratov stated: “These landmark events brought together leading international investors, government agencies, financial institutions, and business leaders. We look forward to welcoming everyone back to Tashkent next year — with fresh ideas, bold initiatives, and innovative formats.”
