GRATA International Partner Ikbal Said Alauddin Participates in the Opening of Turkic States Innovation Hub (TSIH)

On April 12, 2025, Ashgabat proudly hosted the grand opening of the Turkic States Innovation Hub (TSIH), a groundbreaking initiative dedicated to promoting innovation, entrepreneurship, and regional cooperation across the Turkic world. The event brought together business leaders, innovators, and professionals to mark the beginning of a new chapter for startups and emerging enterprises in Turkmenistan and beyond. Representing GRATA International Turkmenistan, Ikbal Said Alauddin was present at this milestone gathering.

The opening event focused on three primary pillars: a strategic workshop, the expansion of Turkmen businesses to Central Asia, China and Europe, and new investment opportunities aimed at empowering local and regional projects. Designed as a central platform for collaboration and growth, TSIH is set to play a vital role in connecting local innovation with global markets.

One of the event’s key features was a comprehensive workshop titled “Turkic States Expansion,” tailored to equip participants with the tools and strategies necessary for business growth. The 120-minute session addressed critical areas such as corporate finance, exploring equity and debt financing options, venture capital, and private equity, and successful business expansion, with practical insights drawn from examples in Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, and Türkiye.

The event also served as a platform for engaging discussions on the innovation ecosystem and the importance of aligning local entrepreneurial efforts with international initiatives. Participants explored how Turkmen projects can integrate into broader markets, identifying synergies that support sustainable development and technological progress.

The establishment of the Turkic States Innovation Hub signifies a major step toward building a more connected and resilient business environment within the region. With its emphasis on fostering collaboration, attracting investment, and supporting entrepreneurial ambition, TSIH is poised to become a key player in the economic future of the Turkic states.

GRATA International Turkmenistan is proud to support and engage with this forward-looking initiative and looks ahead to future opportunities that emerge from this dynamic new hub.
