A large-scale Uzbekistan–Poland Business Forum took place in Warsaw, serving as the central event of the trade mission by an Uzbek corporate delegation that visited Poland from July 10 to 14, 2026.
Participants and Goals of the Forum
More than 150 high-ranking officials, heads of chambers of commerce, industrial associations, and top managers from both countries gathered at the economic forum. The official opening of the plenary session was marked by welcoming speeches from Davron Vakhabov, Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Uzbekistan, and Andrzej Arendarski, President of the Polish Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
The Uzbek side presented a detailed overview of the changing investment climate in the country, as well as current regulatory incentives guaranteed to foreign capital, and opportunities for expanding bilateral commercial ties. Both sides emphasized the existence of significant unrealized potential in the bilateral economic matrix and stressed the need to accelerate direct dialogue between the private sectors.
Areas of Cooperation
Specialized presentations on investment projects demonstrated practical partnership models in several high-growth sectors. In electrical engineering, discussions focused on creating production alliances aimed at household electronics and industrial power components. In agriculture and food products, plans were made to develop sustainable export chains for directing Uzbek fresh and processed products to Central Europe.
The potential of the textile industry was also presented, where Uzbek integrated cotton clusters can contribute to expanding sales channels for structural fabrics and clothing (currently, Uzbek textiles account for about 30% of Poland's light industry raw material imports). Furthermore, joint scientific research and technological developments within dual-use solutions and security systems were considered.
Access to the EU Market
The Polish delegation provided an extensive analysis of Poland's domestic macroeconomic situation, offering clear guidance for Uzbek exporters. This guidance explains how to utilize Poland's logistics networks as a low-tariff gateway to enter the broader European Union market.
The event also attracted the active participation of Amirsaid Aghzamkhozhayev, Ambassador of Uzbekistan to Poland, as well as senior experts from the Polish Ministry of Economic Development and Technology, the Polish Agency for Investment and Trade (PAIH), and the Polish-Asian Chamber of Commerce and Industry. These institutional structures presented coordinated support measures to simplify joint ventures and reduce regulatory barriers in cross-border activities.
Conclusion and Agreements
Following the general assembly, the forum moved into intensive B2B matching sessions. During these direct business meetings, business representatives concluded agreements on exports and imports, assessed financing models for joint ventures, and laid the foundation for long-term supply contracts.
