00:00Olá, e bem-vindos ao programa.
00:25O Uzbekistan's electrical engineering sector has grown eightfold in the past five years,
00:33employing more than 85,000 people.
00:37Last year, the industry produced more than 2.1 billion euros worth of goods,
00:43with exports making up just over half that value.
00:46More than 70 countries are now being reached.
00:49We've been to a high-tech hub in the capital, Tashkent.
00:56Manufacturing on a mammoth scale, this is Texnopark.
01:01It brings together 17 production facilities, covering an area bigger than 60 football pitches.
01:09We specialize on production of home appliances, commercial appliances,
01:14industrial heating and cooling solutions, and construction products.
01:17Right now, we've reached the capacity of around 1.4 million items manufactured annually.
01:27A 5,000-strong workforce makes it happen, working alongside the latest in production technology.
01:34Various technologies are assembled in one place, starting from raw material and component production,
01:43like injection molding, metal processing equipment, and also the final processes,
01:48like electronic assembly, laboratories and assembly lines.
01:52Texnopark has sealed partnerships with big international companies like Samsung Electronics,
02:02and Italy's Pietro Fiorentini, which works in the energy sector.
02:06It supplies both domestic and foreign markets, with exports going to 25 countries.
02:13Right now, we already export to the nearby countries of the Middle East.
02:20We already entered to the European market, and our ambition is to go to the U.S. market as well.
02:31Within this year even, we already targeted to make our trial and pilot export to the U.S. market.
02:37Also in Tashkent, this maker of wires and cables, including for solar power,
02:46already sends around 60% of its products abroad.
02:50Now a loan from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development is set to supercharge its exports further.
02:58To keep pace with production demands, the company is creating a training center for technical specialists.
03:26All feeding a sector, aiming to reach annual export volumes of almost 2.7 billion euros.
03:49Let's speak now to Merziyod Yunusov, who represents the electrical engineering sector.
03:59Merziyod, why all this expansion? And why now?
04:02As you know, Uzbekistan is a landlocked country.
04:06So what the government task to us is to switch our exports from traditional goods to more high added value products.
04:15And how about global trading challenges?
04:17We see these challenges as opportunities for our industry.
04:22Why? Because we have local talents, we have raw materials, and we have a very good agreement with the European Union.
04:31So what we are trying to do is to invite international partnership, produce it locally, process it locally,
04:39and go not only for the regional market as well as for the European market.
04:44Merziyod, thank you very much indeed for joining us.
04:46Well, that's all we have time for in this edition, but there's more business news at euronews.com.
04:51Thanks for watching and bye for now.
