Direct dialogue of regions
The format of the International Industrial Exhibition "Innoprom. Central Asia" will sparkle with new colors of constructiveness this time. The main priority is an active dialogue between the regions. This is seen as a special impetus for investment growth, the creation of new projects, cooperation with an emphasis on results. The main thing is that the openness of the dialogue is already moving to a new level - each delegation that has arrived in Uzbekistan has its own visiting program, and this year it covers not only and not so much Tashkent. Dozens of programs and missions, meetings and agreements are united by one thing – the desire to find common ground of interests. "Innoprom. Central Asia" provides such an opportunity.
