The Asian Development Bank (ADB), serving as the secretariat of the Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation (CAREC) Program, will organize a CAREC Business Forum on November 18-19, 2025, in Bishkek. The event will be held under the theme "Transforming CAREC Corridors – New Opportunities for Business" ahead of the 24th CAREC Ministerial Conference, scheduled for November 20.

The forum will focus on CAREC Corridor 2, which coincides with the Middle Corridor, with an emphasis on its sustainability and digital transformation. The program will explore opportunities for public-private partnerships in regional projects and B2B and B2G collaboration.

The event will provide private sector participants with the opportunity to connect with regional governments, development finance institutions, executives from leading companies, private equity and venture capital investors, and other business representatives to expand their operations beyond national borders.

ADB invites private enterprises from Turkmenistan working in smart logistics, digital trade and e-commerce, sustainable transport and intelligent urban mobility systems, green energy, or ecotourism to register for participation at https://carecprogram.org/?event=carec-business-forum. After reviewing applications, ADB will send invitation letters to selected companies.

Registration for in-person participation is open until October 10, 2025 (20:59 Ashgabat time).
