The Tashkent International Investment Forum (TIIF-2026) has established itself as a key investment platform in Central Asia, bringing together states, international investors and representatives of global business. The Forum acts not just as a platform for dialogue, but as a space where the practical investment agenda of the region is formed.

The main idea of the forum is that Uzbekistan consistently secures the status of a regional investment center capable not only of attracting capital, but also of shaping long-term rules and directions for the economic development of Central Asia.

The scale of TIIF-2025 has clearly demonstrated that the forum has entered a new stage of its development. The event was attended by more than 8000 delegates from 97 countries, and the total amount of investment agreements signed amounted to 30.5 billion US dollars. These indicators have become one of the most significant results among regional investment platforms.

The growth in the number of participants, the expansion of geography and the increase in the volume of concluded transactions indicate a noticeable strengthening of international business confidence in the investment climate in Uzbekistan. The Forum is increasingly perceived not as a one-time discussion platform, but as a sustainable mechanism for generating real investment decisions.

The significance of the Tashkent International Investment Forum is determined not only by its scale, but also by its practical value for the participants. TIIF provides a unique opportunity for direct access to key economic and political decision makers, from heads of state and government to representatives of international financial institutions, sovereign wealth funds, and major corporations.

The Forum forms a rare environment where the government, investors and business are concentrated in one space, which allows moving from general discussions to specific formats of interaction. TIIF actively develops B2B and B2G meetings, which become the basis for concluding investment agreements and launching new projects.

TIIF-2026, which will be held from June 16 to 19 in Tashkent, will preserve and expand the format of previous years, combining elements of high-level political dialogue, business negotiations and industry discussions. The forum’s program includes a plenary session with the participation of heads of state, panel sessions, thematic pitch presentations, as well as an expanded exhibition of the country’s industrial and investment potential.

One of the key features of TIIF-2026 is the exceptionally high level of representation, which creates a unique concentration of political, financial and corporate capital in one space. The forum is attended by heads of State and Government, including leaders of Central Asian and European countries, as well as heads of international organizations and multilateral development banks.

Among the participants are representatives of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), the European Investment Bank (EIB), the Asian Development Bank (ADB), the International Finance Corporation (IFC), as well as sovereign wealth funds and export credit agencies. This composition provides a direct link between government reforms, global financial institutions and private capital.

The results of the IV Tashkent International Investment Forum (TIIF-2025) were widely appreciated internationally by representatives of government agencies, financial institutions and global businesses, who noted the growing role of Uzbekistan as an investment center in the region.

The Director of the Center for Global and Regional Studies (CGREG), Professor Ikboljon Koraboev (Kazakhstan) emphasized the scale and importance of the forum:

– Central Asia has once again become the focus of attention of the international business community. From June 9 to 12, Tashkent hosted the IV Tashkent International Investment Forum, the largest regional investment platform, which is gaining weight and international resonance every year. The scale of the current forum is truly unprecedented: there are about 3,000 foreign delegates from almost 100 countries.

TMIF is becoming the leading platform for demonstrating the industrial and economic potential of Central Asia, and the participation of country leaders, major investors, and international banks underscores the strategic importance of the forum as a showcase for the region’s opportunities.

Associate Professor of the Azerbaijan State University of Economics, political scientist Emin Gharibli (Azerbaijan) emphasized the integration importance of the forum.:

– The Tashkent International Investment Forum is becoming not only a key economic platform for Central Asia, but also an important tool for deepening integration processes between Europe and Asia. The Forum strengthens Tashkent’s status as a regional center of attraction for investments and demonstrates the country’s determination to promote reforms within the framework of the New Uzbekistan strategy.

CGTN Executive Producer Zhang He (China) noted the investment effect of the reforms:

– The economic reforms implemented in Uzbekistan have created more favorable conditions for investors. Uzbekistan has great potential in such areas as industry, green energy, agriculture, information technology and tourism. This will serve to diversify investments and expand the production of high-value-added products.

The Governor of the Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC), Nobumitsu Hayashi (Japan), noted the transformation of the forum’s role:

– The Forum has become a full-fledged regional platform bringing together business leaders and financiers from all over Central Asia and Eastern Europe. Reforms in Uzbekistan are creating a predictable and attractive environment for long-term investments.

Wang Bo, Chairman of the Chinese CAMCE company (China), noted the practical value of the forum:

– This prestigious event opens up great opportunities not only for our company, but also for foreign investors looking for prospects in the dynamically developing economy of Uzbekistan. Uzbekistan represents a unique opportunity for foreign investors, especially in light of the WTO accession process. As the President noted, this will open up even more prospects for sustainable development, making Uzbekistan an attractive destination for global investment.

The Tashkent International Investment Forum (TIIF-2026) secures the role of one of the key platforms of investment dialogue in Central Asia, where not only economic policy directions are formed, but also real mechanisms of interaction between the state and global capital.

The experience of previous years shows that TIIF has already moved from the format of a classic conference to a practical investment ecosystem that affects the structure of regional economic development. In this context, TIIF-2026 is seen as the next stage in strengthening Uzbekistan’s role in the global investment architecture and further expanding its integration into international capital markets.
