Set to be one of Central Asia's most significant infrastructure and investment forums, White City Ashgabat 2026 is on the horizon, drawing attention from global corporations, government officials, and engineering specialists. The event is scheduled for May 24–25 in Ashgabat, coinciding with the 25th anniversary of a multi-sector exhibition and conference.
Organizers anticipate the participation of over 700 delegates from more than 55 nations at this key event. It aims to bring together diverse stakeholders from international firms, financial establishments, local authorities, tech companies, and various ministries under the theme “Architecture. Innovation. Sustainable Development.”
This conference plays a vital role in connecting Turkmenistan's urban development ambitions with global investment, technical proficiency, and collaborative industrial efforts. Significant initiatives, such as the Ashgabat 2045 strategy and the Arkadag smart city expansion, are anticipated to dominate the agenda.
Çalık Enerji, a leader in energy and engineering, will take on the role of Premier Partner for the conference. Chairman Ahmet Çalık remarked that this event has transformed into a major regional avenue for integrating technical innovation with sustainable urban and infrastructural advancements.
Prominent international companies like Rönesans Holding, Daewoo Engineering & Construction, Kawasaki Heavy Industries, PETRONAS, Siemens Energy, and Zaha Hadid Architects are expected to participate, highlighting the escalating global interest in Turkmenistan's infrastructure and modernization ventures.
Furthermore, the forum will promote constructive business interactions through organized B2B and B2G meetings among global enterprises, governmental bodies, and local partners. Officials assert that this initiative aims to accelerate foreign investments, facilitate technology exchange, and forge industrial alliances across various sectors.
Past conferences have led to significant agreements, including a $682 million contract for mineral fertilizers with Daewoo E&C and a $54 million municipal modernization project with Zoomlion. Organizers are optimistic that the 2026 event will cultivate further strategic partnerships and investments in the region's infrastructure.
Experts view White City Ashgabat 2026 as an emerging international center for sustainable development and economic collaboration in Central Asia. The forum is poised to enhance Turkmenistan's status as a promising locale for global infrastructure, smart city innovations, and industrial investments.
