Tatarstan calls the Islamic world to an industrial future
Kazan is preparing to become a center of attraction for the business circles of Islamic countries. The organizers have just revealed the main intrigue of "KazanForum-2026": the focus will be not just on trade, but on deep industrial cooperation. The forum, which will take place in May, promises to turn into a real factory of joint projects. During the international economic forum "Russia - Islamic World," scheduled for May 14-15, a special track "International Cooperation" will be launched. Within its framework, working groups, round tables, and the key event - the trade and industrial dialogue "Russia - Arab World" - will take place. Registration for the venue is already open, but it must be completed by April 30.
Parks abroad: Tatarstan's experience as a magnet for investors The republic approaches the dialogue not with empty hands, but with a ready architecture for interaction. Tatarstan is already replicating its model of industrial parks abroad, and the results are impressive. A special emphasis is placed on Central Asia. In Uzbekistan, two sites are operating at full capacity - in Chirchik and Jizzakh. But the ambitions are broader: right now, two more parks are in development - in Bukhara and Navoi regions. These will be universal territories inviting export-oriented enterprises from any sector. The authorities' task is to create a "green corridor" and the most comfortable conditions for them.
The Azerbaijani direction is also gaining momentum. In Sumgayit, the first industrial park complex has already been launched, and plans include the construction of four more. The total construction area will reach 50,000 square meters. The scheme itself is interesting: the host country builds the buildings, while management companies from Tatarstan take on the search for investors and all organizational "stuff."
From Oman to Malaysia: where else Russian business is awaited The geography of partnerships is not limited to nearby neighbors. The republic's enterprises are already "embedded" in large projects in Turkey, Kazakhstan, and Turkmenistan. Sergey Katyrin, head of the Russian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, emphasizes that Tatarstan is actively interacting with investors from the UAE, Malaysia, and Turkey. On the negotiation table are joint initiatives in automotive manufacturing, development, and petrochemicals. In addition, contacts with Oman are being established: specialized exhibitions and dialogues about joint industrial projects are taking place. According to Katyrin, the United Arab Emirates remains a key partner for Russia among Islamic countries - both in scale and in the diversity of cooperation. However, to reach a new level, it is necessary to increase the volumes and range of supplies, as well as to expand the geography. This is precisely the task that KazanForum is addressing.
The operator of this large-scale event is the Roscongress Foundation, and it is executed by the Directorate of the Autonomous Non-Profit Organization "Directorate of Sports and Social Projects." The full program has already been published on the official forum website.
