Tashkent will host the Central Eurasian Venture Forum 2026

Tashkent, April 3, 2026 — The capital of Uzbekistan will host the Central Eurasian Venture Forum (CEVF 2026), a key platform for deals and dialogue between investors, startups, and corporations of Central Eurasia.

On September 25, 2025, during the Startup & Venture Summit at ICT WEEK Uzbekistan 2025, a memorandum was signed to hold the forum on April 3, 2026 in Tashkent. The forum is organized by MOST Holding, with IT Park Uzbekistan, the country’s largest platform supporting startups and digital initiatives, as a partner and co-organizer.
“It is a great honor for us to host CEVF 2026 in Tashkent. IT Park Uzbekistan sees its mission as integrating the country into the global innovation ecosystem, and hosting such a large-scale forum is an important step in this direction. We are confident that CEVF will become a catalyst for deals, partnerships, and new ideas that will strengthen Uzbekistan’s position as a technological development center in Central Asia,” said AbduLakhad Kuchkarov, CEO of IT Park Uzbekistan.
CEVF is being held for the fifth time and has already established itself as the leading event for the region’s venture capital market. In 2026, the forum moves beyond Kazakhstan and will be held in Uzbekistan for the first time, reflecting the growing integration of ecosystems and the desire of Central Asian countries for joint development.

The forum will bring together investors, founders, representatives of corporations, venture funds, and development institutions. Leaders from the USA, Singapore, South Korea, the UAE, Kazakhstan, and Uzbekistan will gather on one platform.

MOST Holding, the organizer of the forum, systematically develops entrepreneurship in the region. CEVF is a natural continuation of this mission — connecting startups with capital and creating an environment where real deals are made.
“From the very beginning, CEVF was created as a platform where real investments take place. Already at the first forums, deals began to be concluded right during the event, investment agreements were signed, and participants found partners. We are confident that the same synergy will happen in Tashkent. Today, Uzbekistan is one of the most dynamically developing ecosystems in the region, largely thanks to the consistent work of IT Park Uzbekistan, and it is here that we see potential for new growth and the integration of Central Asia into the global market. We are delighted to bring our forum to Uzbekistan and believe it will become a new point of attraction for investors and entrepreneurs from all over the world,” said Pavel Koktyshev, CEO of MOST Holding.
CEVF 2026 in Tashkent will not only continue the forum’s tradition but also mark a new milestone in the development of the regional venture market. It will strengthen Central Asia’s role as a growing investment cluster and create new opportunities for entrepreneurs and investors.
