Positioning Uzbekistan in Global Critical Minerals Supply Chains
This session explores how Uzbekistan can accelerate value creation by integrating upstream, midstream, and downstream activities — supported by TMK’s nationally coordinated vision and infrastructure. As the country positions itself as a regional hub for rare and strategic metals, speakers will explore how strategic partnerships, and foreign direct investment can accelerate the development of Uzbekistan’s critical minerals ecosystem — and how international governments and institutions can help position the country within future-facing global supply chains. The session will also examine how Uzbekistan’s industrial growth aligns with the evolving priorities of global partners and broader supply chain resilience strategies.
