BAKU, Azerbaijan, October 26. Currently, one of
the priority areas of cooperation between Uzbekistan and South
Korea is the introduction of advanced packaging technologies across
key industries, aimed at enhancing the country’s industrial
competitiveness, a source at InnoBiz Association Korea told
Trend.
He noted that both parties view this project as a significant
step in developing an innovative partnership focused on creating a
sustainable value-added chain and strengthening the positions of
Uzbek enterprises in international markets.
Regarding future plans, the representative noted that the
project is scheduled to be implemented under official development
assistance (ODA) programs beginning in 2027. The primary goal is to
introduce advanced Korean packaging technologies in Uzbekistan,
significantly enhancing the quality and export competitiveness of
the country’s industrial and agricultural products.
“Joint efforts in this area will not only strengthen the export
competitiveness of Uzbek companies but also create new
opportunities for Korean enterprises specializing in packaging
solutions to enter the Central Asian market,” the source said.
The project will focus on three key areas:
- Transfer of Innovative Technologies: Uzbek enterprises
interested in developing packaging solutions will have direct
access to the expertise and successful case studies of Korean
companies, helping to enhance their technological
capabilities. - Specialist Training: Individualized educational and practical
programs will be organized to train local experts in packaging,
equipping them to implement modern standards and technologies at
domestic enterprises. - Establishment of Competence Centers: Training and technology
centers will be established in Uzbekistan, serving as platforms for
sustainable collaboration, knowledge exchange, and the
implementation of joint projects between Korean and Uzbek
companies.
Additional consultations are planned in the near future to
clarify the technical and organizational aspects of the
initiative.
“We expect to finalize a detailed implementation plan and
project execution mechanisms by the end of this year,” added the
representative of InnoBiz Association Korea
