The upcoming White City Ashgabat 2026 is set to become one of Central Asia’s largest international infrastructure and investment forums, attracting major global companies, government officials and engineering experts from around the world. Scheduled for May 24–25 in Ashgabat, the event marks the 25th anniversary of the multi-sector exhibition and conference.

Organizers confirmed that more than 700 delegates from over 55 countries are expected to participate in the forum. The event will bring together representatives from international corporations, financial institutions, municipal authorities, technology firms and government ministries under the theme “Architecture. Innovation. Sustainable Development.”

The conference has become an important platform for connecting Turkmenistan’s long-term urban development plans with international investment, technical expertise and large-scale industrial cooperation. Major national projects including the Ashgabat 2045 strategy and the expansion of the Arkadag smart city are expected to be key discussion topics during the event.

Energy and engineering giant Çalık Enerji will serve as the Premier Partner for the conference. Company Chairman Ahmet Çalık said the event has evolved into a major regional platform that aligns technical innovation with long-term infrastructure development and sustainable urban growth.

Several internationally recognized companies are expected to participate in the forum, including Rönesans Holding, Daewoo Engineering & Construction, Kawasaki Heavy Industries, PETRONAS, Siemens Energy and Zaha Hadid Architects. Their involvement reflects growing international interest in Turkmenistan’s infrastructure and urban modernization projects.

The forum will also focus on practical business cooperation through structured B2B and B2G meetings between international companies, government agencies and local stakeholders. Officials say the initiative is designed to accelerate foreign investment, technology transfer and industrial partnerships across multiple sectors.

Previous editions of the conference resulted in several major agreements, including a 682 million dollar mineral fertilizer contract with Daewoo E&C and a 54 million dollar municipal modernization project involving Zoomlion. Organizers believe the 2026 edition could generate additional strategic partnerships and infrastructure investments for the region.

Experts describe White City Ashgabat 2026 as a growing international hub for sustainable development and economic cooperation in Central Asia. The event is expected to strengthen Turkmenistan’s position as an emerging destination for global infrastructure, smart city technology and industrial investment.
