A historic record in business activity was registered at the V Tashkent International Investment Forum, where American investors clearly signaled their intent to establish a firm foothold in the Central Asian market. The US–Uzbekistan Business Forum, held at the CAEx Uzbekistan exhibition center, gathered an unprecedented number of participants and concluded with the signing of a package of agreements that will transform the Republic's most high-tech and resource-intensive sectors.

Laziz Kudratov, Head of the Ministry of Investment, Industry and Trade of Uzbekistan, described the participation of 193 US companies as an all-time high. According to him, such interest proves that major US players view Uzbekistan as a long-term strategic partner rather than just a venue for short-term deals.

The program of the event, which opened in the "Kokan" hall, featured a high-level panel session and a series of Fireside Chat discussions. The spotlight was on digitalization, job creation, and industrial cooperation. Officials from the US International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) and the Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM) explicitly stated the region's massive potential and their readiness to provide long-term financial backing for joint ventures.

The organizers placed a special emphasis on the technology sector and critical minerals. These discussions culminated in the launch of new initiatives, with the parties signing a series of strategic documents covering the oil and gas sector, aviation, geological exploration, satellite communications, digital infrastructure, and finance. The practical outcome of the forum has laid the groundwork for a large-scale modernization of Uzbekistan's industrial framework.
