Messe Frankfurt is expanding its presence in the rapidly growing Central Asian market by introducing three new textile events in Tashkent, Uzbekistan.
These exhibitions will encompass Heimtextil Uzbekistan for the home textiles sector, Texworld Tashkent for the fabric industry, and Apparel Sourcing Tashkent.
Messe Frankfurt sees Uzbekistan's strategic positioning at the crossroads of Europe and Asia as pivotal for trade facilitation and economic growth in neighboring countries and the broader region.
Wolfgang Marzin, CEO, Messe Frankfurt Group, says, the group’s move into Central Asia underscores the potential for increased global economic integration. The region serves as a bridge between Asia and Europe, aligning with China’s Belt and Road initiative aimed at fostering economic connectivity.
Uzbekistan's burgeoning consumer market, evolving political landscape, and favorable geographical location make it an appealing investment destination and trading partner.
Messe Frankfurt highlighted the region's potential amid evolving global supply chains and trade dynamics. Uzbekistan's government recognises the significance of investing in infrastructure to establish efficient transit routes, supported by initiatives like China's Belt and Road and Europe's commitment to diversify transport corridors.
Stephan Buurma, Board Member, Messe Frankfurt Group, emphasises, the group’s extensive sales network spanning 180 countries and regions positions it as an ideal partner for Uzbekistan to elevate its international standing. Uzbekistan's textile sector, already a major cotton exporter, presents opportunities for modernisation and investment.
Heimtextil Uzbekistan, Texworld Tashkent, and Apparel Sourcing Tashkent are scheduled to run concurrently from November 06-08, 2024.
