The rapidly developing economies of Uzbekistan and Central Asia offer good prospects and make the region’s market attractive to Russian exporters. Russian technologies and equipment are in demand in this market due to their functionality and high quality, favourable pricing policy, flexible delivery terms, specifics and needs of local buyers, availability of service centres, and other factors.

The INNOPROM. Central Asia 2023 is extremely important in strengthening and expanding the existing cooperation and bilateral trade between Russia and Uzbekistan, as well as promoting Russian exports of non-resource high tech products to the Central Asian market.
