On May 19, 2025, the Investment Promotion Agency hosted a delegation from the Republic of Austria led by the Vice Minister Mr. Andreas Reichhardt. The delegation included representatives of government institutions and private sector.

During the meeting, both sides explored opportunities for implementing investment projects in energy, mechanical engineering, transport infrastructure, and raw materials processing. The discussion placed particular emphasis on Uzbekistan’s investment potential, ongoing reforms in the privatization of state-owned assets, mechanisms for participating in tenders, and the tax and customs incentives available to foreign investors.

In conclusion of the meeting, the Agency leadership invited the Austrian side to take part in the IV Tashkent International Investment Forum, which will be held on June 10–12, 2025.
