In Fergana, the international exhibition center Farg‘ona Expo has been established to broadly promote the region’s economic potential, develop industrial cooperation, stimulate exports, and create favorable conditions for investment.
The center serves not only as an exhibition venue but also as a unified communication platform for entrepreneurs and investors.
Within the five-hectare complex, conditions have been set to showcase the products of more than 200 manufacturing enterprises.
The first two floors of the new eight-story building are reserved for organizations that support trade, investment, and entrepreneurship. The upper floors will be used as office space for investors and business representatives.
At the center, exhibitions and trade fairs across 15 sectors operate year-round. Here, government bodies, manufacturers, exporters, and investors will have the opportunity to interact on a single platform and establish practical cooperation.
Taking into account the effectiveness of the Fergana experience, it is planned to create similar modern exhibition complexes in Tashkent and in Bukhara, Jizzakh, and Samarkand regions.
The President was presented with information on the digital platforms introduced for investors and entrepreneurs, including the “Unified National Information System for Project Management”.
It was noted that the platforms invest.gov.uz and pmi.miit.uz bring together local and foreign entrepreneurs in a single digital environment, ensuring transparency in the formation, implementation, and monitoring of investment projects.
The unified investment platform operates on a “single-window” principle. Through it, an investor can become familiar with the investment potential of regions, select ready-made projects, and track their implementation through a personal account.
An investor can either manage a project independently or engage an authorized consultant. All requests are recorded in an integrated system linked to the Ministry of Investment and relevant agencies. Deadlines at each stage are set automatically, and a responsible manager oversees the process.
In the event of delays or emerging issues, the matter is referred to the Government Commission for prompt resolution. These digital solutions provide additional convenience for entrepreneurs and strengthen confidence in the investment environment.
In Fergana region, effective cooperation between investors and consulting organizations has been established, contributing to the high-quality preparation and implementation of new projects.
Major investment projects proposed for implementation in the region were presented to the President. In particular, plans were discussed to jointly create the Eurasian International Trade Center with China, to produce biopellets and build a thermal power plant in cooperation with South Korea, and to establish a modern medical cluster with the participation of Türkiye.
Special attention was given to a major infrastructure project to provide the population with quality drinking water, involving France, Spain, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar.
Prospective initiatives were also considered, including the construction of a five-star hotel and a modern congress hall, the creation of a new-format recreational park in Quvasoy, and the establishment of a battery production facility for electric vehicles.
The President reviewed exhibitions highlighting the industrial and service potential of Fergana region. Products from the fields of handicrafts, construction materials, electrical engineering, machinery, textiles, leather and footwear, and jewelry were presented.
In the second exhibition hall, displays showcased products from the food industry, eco-friendly transportation, the oil and gas sector, furniture manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and the chemical industry. These exhibitions demonstrated the dynamic development of the region’s production sectors.
At the venue, the Head of State met with foreign entrepreneurs. Issues such as accelerating the implementation of investment projects, resolving existing challenges, and expanding mutually beneficial cooperation were discussed.
In particular, initiatives to expand the operations of a gold-processing enterprise and to establish modern cable production were considered.
