The President reviewed the industrial and investment potential of Fergana.

Shavkat Mirziyoyev, on the second day of his visit to the Fergana region, reviewed the activities of the Investor Service Center in the city of Fergana, the press service of the head of our state reports.

An international exhibition center, “Farg‘ona Expo,” has been established in Fergana. Its activities are aimed at broadly promoting the region’s economic potential, developing industrial cooperation, stimulating exports, and creating favorable conditions for investment.

The center serves not only as an exhibition venue but also as a unified communication platform for entrepreneurs and investors.

Conditions have been created on the five-hectare complex to showcase the products of more than 200 manufacturing enterprises.

The first two floors of the new eight-story building are allocated to organizations that support trade, investment, and entrepreneurship, while the upper floors will be used as office space for investors and business representatives.

The center hosts year-round exhibitions and fairs across 15 industry sectors. Government agencies, manufacturers, exporters, and investors can interact on a single platform and establish practical cooperation.

Taking into account the effectiveness of the Fergana experience, similar modern exhibition complexes are planned to be established in Tashkent, as well as in the Bukhara Region, Jizzakh Region, and Samarkand Region.

The President was also presented with information on 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 integrate local and foreign entrepreneurs into a single digital space, ensuring transparency in the formation, implementation, and monitoring of investment projects.

The unified investment platform operates on a “single window” principle. Through it, investors can explore the investment potential of regions, select ready-made projects, and monitor their implementation via a personal account.

Investors may either manage projects independently or engage an authorized consultant. All requests are reflected in an integrated system connected with the Ministry of Investments and relevant agencies. Deadlines at each stage are set automatically, and the process is monitored by a responsible manager.

In case of delays or issues, matters are submitted to the Government Commission for prompt decision-making. Such digital solutions create additional convenience for entrepreneurs and strengthen confidence in the investment environment.

Effective cooperation between investors and consulting organizations has been established in the Fergana region, 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 establish a “Eurasian International Trade Center” jointly with China, to produce bio-pellets and build a thermal power plant with South Korea, and to develop a modern medical cluster with the participation of Turkey.

Special attention was given to a large infrastructure project to provide the population with high-quality drinking water, involving France, Spain, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar.

Promising initiatives were also reviewed, including the construction of a five-star hotel and a modern congress hall, the creation of a new-format recreation park in Quvasoy, and the establishment of battery production for electric vehicles.

The President reviewed exhibitions showcasing the industrial and service potential of the Fergana region. Products were presented in handicrafts, construction materials, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, textiles, leather and footwear, and jewelry industries.

The second exhibition hall featured displays from the food industry, eco-friendly transport, oil and gas, furniture manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and the chemical industry, demonstrating the dynamic development of the region’s production sectors.

At the site, the Head of State held a meeting with foreign entrepreneurs. Discussions focused on accelerating the implementation of investment projects, resolving existing issues, and expanding mutually beneficial cooperation.

In particular, initiatives to expand gold processing operations and establish modern cable production were considered.

The President listened to proposals from entrepreneurs and gave specific instructions to address the issues raised. Priority was placed on ensuring speed, efficiency, and transparency in the implementation of all projects.
