Askar Baimuldin

“The Turkmenistan Investment Forum 2025 became an important platform to showcase the country’s economic potential and investment climate. Through panel discussions, case studies, and success stories, delegates gained valuable insights into opportunities in Turkmenistan, while the interactive format fostered dialogue, networking, and future partnerships. ”
Christopher Durkin
President, West London Chamber of Commerce
“At TIF2025, a Memorandum of Understanding was signed between the West London Chambers of Commerce and the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Turkmenistan, creating a corridor for trade, skills exchange, and investment. Starting immediately, B2B support, soft-landing services, and access to 30+ international trade events will fast-track market entry and growth for companies on both sides.”

“The Turkmenistan Investment Forum gathered participants from over 40 countries, underscoring the nation’s commitment to peace, security, and development. Investor interest centered on logistics, connectivity, and green and digital transformation. Turkmenistan seeks innovative partners in high-tech and sustainable sectors. ”
Dimitrij Euler
Head of Impact Analysis Group, WifOR Institute
“TIF2025 delivered substance, not just statements. Public and private actors held concrete discussions on using standardized impact measurement as a common language - so investments can be judged not only by returns, but by effects on public health, employment, and economic stability. Coming out of Awaza, we now have a clear vision on the concrete next steps: joint working groups on sustainable investment promotion, pilots to integrate impact KPIs into due-diligence, and a roadmap to make transparent impact reporting routine across projects.”
Yerbol Bukharbaev
Head of the Regional Office for Central Asia.
“The forum in Turkmenistan is becoming an important preparatory milestone for a qualitatively new stage in the development of Central Asia. Here, we discuss priorities, build partnerships, and lay the foundation for Central Asia to make its voice heard on the global stage. One of the upcoming global platforms and opportunities for Central Asia to present itself collectively is the 11th World Free Zones Organization (WFZO) Congress, which will take place on Hainan Island, China, on October 10–12.”
