As previously reported, the National Industrial Chain fair is being held in the Akhangaran industrial zone.

The event was organized with the assistance of the Agency for Industrial Cooperation and Public Procurement, the Ministry of Mining and Geology, the Tashkent Region Khokimiyat, Almalyk Mining and Metallurgical Complex JSC, and the Electronic Cooperation Portal.

On the first day of the fair, more than 590 entrepreneurs took part, and the total number of registered people exceeded 2,500. Participants include large industrial enterprises, local manufacturers, business structures, as well as scientific and higher education institutions.

The main difference between this fair and traditional ones is its emphasis not only on product demonstrations, but also on the real needs of industry, localization opportunities, guaranteed procurement mechanisms, and offtake contracts.

To enhance collaboration between businesses and enterprises, interactive solutions were implemented: via touch panels, participants received up-to-date information about companies and their activities, and using a B2G stand, QR codes, and a Telegram bot, they could submit requests and proposals and track their implementation. The agreements reached were displayed in real time on interactive screens.

During the fair, a number of memorandums were signed aimed at strengthening the integration of education, science, and industry. By the end of the first day, 30 agreements had been concluded for a total of approximately 212.1 billion UZ Soums.

In particular, memoranda were signed between AMMC and a number of local enterprises:

• with Almalyk Foundry and Mechanical Plant LLC – on the production of spare parts for railway transport;
• with Carbon Polymer LLC – on the production of fluoroplastic products;
• with Apiteks LLC – on the production of filter fabrics;
• with Gortexkomplekt LLC – on the production of spare parts for drilling equipment.

The fair continues its work today.
