USAID Competitiveness, Trade, and Jobs Activity in Central Asia cordially invites you to participate at the Ninth Annual Central Asia Trade Forum, a flagship international event for companies and exporters, that will take place on November 12-13, 2019 in Shymkent, Kazakhstan.
The theme of this year’s Forum will be Horticulture Innovation and Investment. We expect attendance of over 450+ government, business and civil society leaders, as well as think tanks from Central and South Asia and Europe.
The Central Asia Trade Forum is one of the largest annual events promoting regional trade and connectivity in Central Asia and has evolved into a widely-recognized brand. Last year the forum in Tashkent, Uzbekistan brought together over 2,000 entrepreneurs, private firms, technical experts, and policy makers from 27 countries including Asia, the United States, Europe and the Middle East to exchange ideas, stay abreast of new technologies and trade developments, make trade deals and forge new partnerships for future cooperation.
On Day II, November 13, 2019, participants of the Ninth Central Asia Trade Forum will have an opportunity to join a two-hour Cold Chain roundtable discussion focusing on modernizing and strengthening the cold chain development across the region, that might become a “force multiplier” for generating exports and opening new markets for Central Asian agricultural producers. The event will be followed by a site visit to Multimodal Logistics Center “Continental Logistics Shymkent”.

USAID Competitiveness, Trade, and Jobs Activity in Central Asia (hereafter abbreviated CTJ) is a five-year (2016-2021) project focused on increasing the competitiveness of Central Asian economies and creating jobs. CTJ focuses on three primary sectors: 1) Horticultural; 2) Transportation & Logistics and 3) Tourism and works with governments and private sector firms to facilitate the removal of barriers that impede trade and timely delivery of quality goods and services.
The CTJ project is implemented in Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan and maintains an office in each country.
We received a lot of Innovation Concept Notes from the private sector players across Central Asia.
Applications for co-financing projects from the Innovation Facility are no longer available.
USAID Competitiveness, Trade, and Jobs Activity in Central Asia (CTJ) facilitates trade and employment in horticulture, tourism, transport and logistics across the five Central Asian economies. By incentivizing firms to become more regionally competitive and by addressing cross-border impediments to trade, USAID helps to develop a more diverse and competitive private sector and generate export-driven growth.
