High-ranking delegates from the governments of Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and the USA, as well as leaders of international companies, financial institutions, and business associations, are participating in the forum. The main goal of the meeting is to strengthen public-private dialogue and expand investment cooperation. The discussions focus on improving the business environment in strategic areas such as transportation and logistics, agriculture, information technology, e-commerce, and the extraction of critical minerals.
The program includes panel sessions during which regional working groups will present practical recommendations for reforming regulatory policies. It is expected that representatives of the governments of the region will outline specific steps for implementing proposed initiatives aimed at stimulating innovation and economic growth. The "B5+1" platform serves as a business counterpart to the diplomatic format "C5+1" and is implemented under the "Improving the Business Environment in Central Asia" (IBECA) program with the support of the U.S. Department of State.
