“Austria Connect Central Asia”, which will be held in the capital of Uzbekistan, consists of a two-day conference, during which Austrian business structures will be provided with comprehensive information about the economic potential, investment opportunities, legislation, fiscal policy and other most important aspects of doing business in our republic.

During the meeting, Clemens Mahal expressed gratitude for the support provided by the government of Uzbekistan in the development of Austrian-Uzbek trade and economic relations and emphasized the high level of organization of the visit of the Austrian business mission to Uzbekistan in November 2021. 

Also, the Trade Representative of Austria for Central Asia noted that the image of Uzbekistan in the international arena as a reliable partner with a diversified economy, promoting a neutral and balanced regional policy, is attracting more and more attention not only from Austrian business but also from companies from neighbouring European countries.
