About the Forum

CENTRAL ASIA TRANSPORT, LOGISTICS & INVESTMENT FORUM 2026

Why You Need to Be at CATLIF 2026

Central Asia is today the epicentre of the global trade route reshuffle. The forum brings together those who actually manage cargo flows and capital across the region.

Programme Highlights

1️⃣ Investment breakthrough
PPP models and green finance in focus. Where to source capital for infrastructure projects in 2026?
2️⃣ Middle Corridor — for real
Bypassing the Red Sea crisis and Strait of Hormuz risks. How to make TITR commercially viable: tariffs, transit times, predictability.
3️⃣ Digital transformation
Customs automation and IT products for maritime and rail transport. From mobile apps to the Digital Trade Corridor.
4️⃣ Heavy-Lift & Project Cargo
Hands-on experience moving project cargo through Kazakhstan: the requirements of energy and mining majors.
