Traders Fair Uzbekistan 2026 will take place on November 14, 2026, in Tashkent

The capital of Uzbekistan has become an important center for global textile and fashion business. From October 12 to 14, three significant international exhibitions are simultaneously taking place at the premises of JSC NVK 'Uzexpo Center': Heimtextil Uzbekistan, Texworld Tashkent, and Apparel Sourcing Tashkent.

These events have gathered over 200 participating companies from six different countries, as well as more than 5,000 buyers representing over 15 nations. The exhibition covers the entire cycle of light industry production, from raw materials and equipment to finished products.

Visitors and market specialists have the opportunity to examine the latest collections of home textiles, a diverse selection of fabrics, knitwear, accessories, and ready-to-wear clothing. This year, particular attention is drawn to the Textile Machinery section, where a major area featuring modern machinery, automated solutions, and innovative technologies for sewing and textile production has been designated for the first time.

A special international buyer program is operating at the venue. Thanks to this, Uzbek producers can conduct direct negotiations with foreign retail chains, distributors, and trading companies, signing agreements for export supplies and establishing long-term partnerships.

This provides industry workers with an excellent opportunity to study the latest innovations, establish direct supply channels, and conclude profitable deals. The national pavilion 'Made in Uzbekistan' is also presented, showcasing the products of local manufacturers.

The events are held with the official support of the Agency for Light Industry Development. The organizer is Business Media Central Asia (BMCA), which is the official representative of the global exhibition operator Messe Frankfurt in the Central Asia region.

A trade exhibition titled 'China - Central Asia (Uzbekistan) 2026' is scheduled to take place in Tashkent. This event, organized by the China Committee for International Trade Promotion, will be held from October 14 to 16 at Uzexpo Center. The exhibition aims to elevate the trade and economic interaction between China and Uzbekistan to a new qualitative level.

Since the first similar exhibition was successful in 2025, this event will be the second in a row in Uzbekistan and will become a significant international platform for developing economic ties. The main objective of the exhibition is to create a specialized base for strengthening business contacts and trade and economic cooperation between China and Central Asian countries, as well as promoting industrial interaction.

2026 marks the tenth anniversary of establishing comprehensive strategic partnership between China and Uzbekistan. The current year focuses on the qualitative development of cooperation between China and the countries of Central Asia. Previously, on August 31, leaders of Uzbekistan and China announced their intention to begin a new 'golden decade' of bilateral relations at the meeting of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation Council of Heads of State.

Both countries continue to adhere to the principles of openness, mutual benefit, and cooperation in the spirit of 'China - Central Asia,' expanding opportunities for interaction in areas such as industrial investment, trade liberalization, and green development. This provides a solid foundation for the upcoming exhibition.

The exposition has been improved based on the experience of the first event. Given the similarity of the industrial sectors of China and Uzbekistan, organizers will focus on relevant topics such as robotics and industrial automation, alternative energy vehicles and corresponding components, and artificial intelligence.

The exhibition has three key characteristics. Firstly, there is an increase in the quality of exhibited products, and the venues are adapted to modern trends in industrial progress. The closed exhibition area will cover 4,000 square meters, and the open area will cover 800 square meters.

Enterprises from 19 provinces, autonomous regions, and centrally administered cities of China will participate. Five thematic zones will be formed, dedicated to new energy transport, green energy, consumer electronics, trade in services, and intelligent manufacturing. Visitors will see China's latest achievements in developing new quality productive forces, which align with the modernization priorities of Uzbekistan and other Central Asian countries.

For the first time, a special 'Opportunities in China' exhibition will be presented, introducing guests to the national image of the PRC, the conditions for doing business in various regions of the country, and modern intelligent technologies. Additionally, an interactive zone dedicated to traditional Chinese culture will be created, allowing guests to practice Chinese cultural heritage and immerse themselves in the business atmosphere.

Secondly, the exhibition will bring leading enterprises together in one location, showcasing advanced innovations. About 200 promising Chinese companies have been selected to participate, with the share of high-tech, innovative, and developed enterprises exceeding 30%. Among them are companies such as CAMCE, Yonyou Network, Focus Technology, as well as enterprises specializing in promising areas, including Lanxin Robotics, Zhengzhou City Unites Steel Industrial Co., Ltd., and LAISAI.

Compared to last year, the share of companies operating in the fields of artificial intelligence, cross-border e-commerce, and energy storage systems will significantly increase. Participants will demonstrate the advanced practices of Chinese firms in digital transformation, green and low-carbon development, which will help showcase the competitive advantages of Chinese industry and promote the adoption of advanced technologies in Central Asian countries.

Thirdly, the business program will be rich and focused on establishing business ties. The exhibition will serve as a comprehensive international platform combining presentations, technology exchange, business negotiations, and product demonstrations.

Various business events are planned to ensure practical benefits, including the China-Uzbekistan Investment Cooperation Forum, specialized meetings to discuss trade and economic interaction, and B2B negotiation formats. Delegations from Shensi Province, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, and other regions of China will give separate presentations concerning trade and economic cooperation.

Thanks to the principles of mutual benefit, the exhibition will contribute to deepening bilateral cooperation in trade, industry, and investment. For Chinese companies, this will be an important channel to access Central Asian markets, and for Uzbek and regional firms, it will be an opportunity to learn more about China and find new partnerships. The event will provide a strong impetus to the development of trade and economic ties and help shape a new 'golden decade' of bilateral relations.
