The CIET 2025 International Conference and Exhibition, which opened in the Avaza National Tourist Zone, discussed issues of industrial digital transformation, the implementation of "blue ammonia" technologies, and the development of green construction. Held under the motto "Smart Construction. Clean Energy. Sustainable Future," the forum served as a platform for showcasing new investment opportunities in key economic sectors, according to the Turkmen Energy Forum.

Opening the plenary session, Deputy Prime Minister Baymyrat Annamammedov called the forum "a striking example of Turkmenistan's innovative and open commitment to partnership and development." He noted the introduction of modern technologies in construction and industry, as well as the implementation of major infrastructure projects—from the Garabogaz Bay Bridge to the Turkmenbashy-Garabogaz-Kazakhstan border highway.

"Under the leadership of President Serdar Berdimuhamedov, Turkmenistan is strengthening its industrial might while maintaining a commitment to environmental values and sustainable growth," the Deputy Prime Minister said.

Minister of Industry and Construction Production Toiguli Nurov spoke about the digital transformation of enterprises and the construction of modern ceramic tile and glass factories in Baharly and Ashgabat. "Each new factory is a step toward the development of a self-sufficient, export-oriented industry capable of creating jobs and introducing innovation," the minister emphasized.

Tanryguly Atayev, Chairman of the “Turkmenhimiya” State Concern, presented a chemical industry development program aimed at deep processing of natural gas and the implementation of "blue ammonia" technologies.
