The MINEX Central Asia’25 Forum took place against the backdrop of impressive economic growth in the region’s countries. Special attention was given to Uzbekistan’s achievements: over the past eight years, the country’s GDP has doubled, and it is projected to reach $200 billion by 2030. Uzbekistan’s mineral resources are estimated to be worth approximately three trillion dollars, and projects for creating full-cycle technoparks—from geological exploration to deep processing—are actively being implemented.

The Forum participants visited the AKFA Group Industrial Technopark in Tashkent, where they learned about the integration of mineral resources into high-tech production. The Technopark brings together more than 20 high-tech manufacturing facilities operating as a single cluster. This enables control over the entire value chain and the ability to offer comprehensive solutions for various industries, including licensed production of household appliances, metal structures, heating systems, electrical products, building materials, and other high-tech products. The Technopark spans more than 350,000 square meters, making it one of the largest in Central Asia. Many of the enterprises have a full production cycle, from raw material processing to finished goods.

The visit to the Technopark was organised to present the plans of the Forum’s strategic partner, the “Uzbekistan Technological Metals Complex ” (UzTMK), to establish two industrial parks in Uzbekistan specializing in the production of products made from rare and rare-earth metals. In addition to launching new industrial sites, UzTMK also plans to open a unique scientific and technical centre in Central Asia, dedicated to the development and implementation of innovative technologies for processing critical minerals.
