The portfolio offers several routes into local production and services. Define a commercially focused first phase, then expand against customer acceptance, operating performance and cash collections.
Manufacturing and localisation
Begin with a nominated part, accepted specification or dealer order. Imported inputs, local processing, warranty and working capital are included in the commercial model.
Agriculture and food
Secure raw material and buyer contracts together. Crop conversion, cold storage, seasonality and inventory funding determine the scalable production phase.
Healthcare and digital services
An experienced operator, paying customers and measurable service capacity define the initial investment. Equipment or infrastructure follows contracted utilisation.
Resources and real assets
Confirm the exact licence, parcel, concession or ownership interest. Resource studies, public infrastructure and private income-producing assets are financed through distinct stages.
Country and market context
The following dated information provides background for project discussions. Investment budgets and operating models will be developed for the selected location and scope.
Uzbekistan had 38,236,704 permanent residents on 1 January 2026, including 4,379,800 in Samarkand region. Customer segments and sales channels will be assessed for each selected project.
In its 18 June 2026 assessment, the IMF reported real GDP growth of 7.7% in 2025 and projected about 6.8% for 2026.
The official January-August 2026 release reports exports of USD 22,866.9 million and imports of USD 34,535.6 million. Partial-year figures have not been annualised.
From 1 June 2026, the published electricity tariff for groups I and II is UZS 1,100/kWh and the general natural gas tariff is UZS 2,000/m³, including VAT. Actual category, consumption, connection, reliability and VAT recovery require project-specific pricing.
Water rights, seasonal availability and wastewater requirements are material for orchards, livestock, processing, textiles, mining and tourism. Site utility assessments form part of investment development.
The university contact supports the discussion. Ownership, commitments and investment agreements belong to the parties authorised for the specific project.
