Central Eurasian Venture Forum 2026 will bring together investors and startups from Central Eurasia

On April 3, the Central Eurasian Venture Forum 2026 will take place at the JW Marriott Hotel Tashkent, one of the region's key investment platforms. The forum will be held in Uzbekistan for the first time in collaboration with IT Park Uzbekistan, bringing together venture funds, private and institutional investors, corporations, and technology startups.

CEVF is positioned as a space where deals are made, funds and syndicates are formed, and educational and investment initiatives are launched. Participants find co-investors, structure capital, and build long-term partnerships.

The focus for 2026 is Smart Capital. Organizers emphasize a sustainable, structured, and professional approach to investments in AI, fintech, and deep tech within the context of the new global reality.

The forum program includes:

— Startup Alley — a zone providing direct access to early-stage projects
— MOST Investable Battle — an investment stage where startups present their projects to venture funds and private investors
— Closed sessions for investors — private networking, GP-LP meetings, and roundtables on fund creation and capital structuring
— VC Party — an informal continuation of networking after the main program
— CEVF Retreat — a closed off-site format for a limited group of participants.

Among the speakers are Murat Abdrakhmanov, one of the most active venture investors in Central Asia; Aynur Zhinturina, CEO of RISE Research; venture investor Yelan Isekeshov; Abai Absamet, co-founder of Silkroad Angels; as well as Baurzhan Kankin, Alexander Zemlyak, and Ivan Belokhvostikov.
