The Uzbek-Turkish Organized Industrial Zone, managed by OSTİM, has begun to take shape in Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan.
Preparations for investors continue uninterruptedly in the 100-hectare area, where an investment agreement was signed between OSTİM Organized Industrial Zone Board Chairman Orhan Aydın and the Minister of Investment, Industry and Trade of the Republic of Uzbekistan, Kudratov Laziz Shavkatovich, at the Turkey-Uzbekistan Business Forum hosted by TOBB in June, under the management of OSTİM Global Project and Technology Inc.
Meetings are underway with investors.
OSTİM OSB Regional Manager and Uzbekistan Project Coordinator, Architect Adem Arıcı, who is involved in the planning and construction processes of the Uzbek-Turkish Organized Industrial Zone where construction work is progressing at full speed in the administrative building, kindergarten, primary school, technical college, hotel, sports complex and polyclinic buildings, noted that they are working intensively with the Ministry of Investment, Industry and Trade of the Republic of Uzbekistan to accelerate the necessary work for the start of industrial production in the region.
Arıcı, who was in Tashkent between July 6-13, 2024, as part of the project's coordination, shared the following information regarding the project's current status: “Investor meetings, infrastructure tender evaluation, planning of new areas, office and field work continue uninterrupted. Meetings with investor companies from Turkey wishing to invest are ongoing. Continuous meetings are held with Turkish business people in Uzbekistan to evaluate the region's investment and cooperation opportunities.”
The Zangiota District Governor of Tashkent, where the Uzbek-Turkish Organized Industrial Zone is located, along with his deputies and other administrative and civil authorities, frequently visit the construction site to receive information about the progress of the work.
Companies located in the Uzbek-Turkish Organized Industrial Zone, which stands out as a new destination for Central Asian investments, will be able to export duty-free to 5 countries that are members of the Eurasian Customs Union, including Russia.
Regarding OSTİM's activities in Uzbekistan;
A cooperation agreement was signed between OSTİM Organized Industrial Zone Directorate and Ohangaron Tech Industrial in November 2022 for the establishment of the Ohangaron Tech Industrial Zone, planned to be located in the Ohangaron District of Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan.
The 140-hectare area allocated for the Copper Specialized Organized Industrial Zone includes the following for the region:
Preparation of master plans
Preparation of zoning and implementation zoning plans
Preparation of all infrastructure implementation plans and reports
Preparation of special legislation for the region
Completion of feasibility study on the future of the copper sector,
The works were carried out under the auspices and coordination of the OSTİM Organized Industrial Zone Regional Directorate and were completed and handed over to the management of Ohangaron Tech Industrial in October 2023.
Within the scope of the studies conducted, all planning and the management structure of the region were carried out based on the understanding that a model of the OSTİM ecosystem should be implemented in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. Furthermore, in collaboration with OSTİM Technical University and Fırat University, a comprehensive feasibility study was completed and submitted to the Ministry of Geology of Uzbekistan. This study covers the present and future of the copper sector, which is of strategic importance for our brotherly Uzbekistan, and includes the transformation of copper into higher value-added products and the location of advanced technological investments in this region.
As a result of the successful completion of this project, Uzbekistan's approach to establishing and operating industrial zones has changed, and the OSTİM Ecosystem Model has become a model application in Uzbekistan.
The Uzbek-Turkish Organized Industrial Zone project, which was decided by the Government of Uzbekistan on December 15, 2023, to be managed by OSTİM upon the will of the Presidency of Uzbekistan, is being implemented through OSTİM Global Project and Technology Inc. and its subsidiary Ostim Global Turkish Classification Directorate, established for Uzbekistan.
