Islamic Cooperation as a New Reality

Industrial cooperation with the countries of the Islamic world is set to become one of the key themes of KazanForum 2026, which will take place from May 12 to 17 in Kazan. The business program includes working groups, roundtables, and the “Russia – Arab World” trade and industrial dialogue. Industrial cooperation with Islamic nations is not just an economic trend – it is a strategic necessity, opening doors to new markets that fill the gap left by the West.

One example of active engagement is the experience of Tatarstan, which has been developing industrial parks across the republic. Similar parks are already operating in Sumgait, Azerbaijan; as well as in Chirchiq and Jizzakh in Uzbekistan, while new projects are being implemented in the Bukhara and Navoiy regions of the Republic of Uzbekistan.
