Executives and representatives from over 200 foreign companies from more than 40 countries will gather at the Ýyldyz Hotel in Ashgabat on October 1-2 for the Turkmenistan Investment Forum (TIF 2026). In addition to session presentations, the forum will feature business-to-business negotiations, offering opportunities to establish new contacts and to discuss specific proposals and projects.
Each registered delegate gains access to a personal participant account and the TIF 2026 mobile app. The app allows users to view the list of participants, to learn about the activities of companies and to find their representatives. Users simply select an organization of interest and submit a meeting request, and the parties then coordinate the meeting time and location. This process can be initiated now to have a schedule of business meetings already in place by the time the forum begins.
Japanese business will have a particularly broad presence at the forum, with participation of the Mitsubishi Corporation, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, ITOCHU, Sumitomo Corporation, Kawasaki Heavy Industries and Mizuho Bank.
Companies from the Republic of Korea, such as Samsung C&T and Daewoo Engineering, and German firms, including John Deere, CLAAS, WIRTGEN Group and Siemens Energy, will participate as well. The oil and gas sector will be represented by TotalEnergies, Dragon Oil, ADNOC, Siemens Energy, MHI and Tatneft. The financial sector will be represented by Oppenheimer & Co and Moody’s, the legal sector by Fieldfisher and the technology sector by Canaan and Bitdeer.
The banking sector will also be widely represented, featuring the World Bank, the International Finance Corporation (IFC), the Asian Development Bank, the EBRD, the Islamic Development Bank and the Export-Import Bank of China.
The forum’s business program comprises eight thematic workshops held over two days, covering oil and gas and chemicals; energy and construction; transport and logistics; trade and agribusiness; cooperation with international financial institutions; innovation; and the green transformation.
With the forum fast approaching, the Organizing Committee reminds all prospective delegates that registration closes on September 22.
