Amir Abidov, Deputy Chairman of the Board for New Technologies, Innovation, and Artificial Intelligence at the Uzbekistan Technological Metals Complex (TMK), appeared as a guest on the latest episode of Raw Matters, an international podcast focused on critical minerals and global supply chains.
Raw Matters brings together leading international experts in critical minerals, geopolitics, the energy transition, and industrial policy, as well as representatives of the investment community and key decision-makers.
The podcast highlighted the key approaches of Uzbekistan and TMK, including:
— the country’s long-term strategy in the field of critical minerals;
— Central Asia’s role in global supply chains;
— technology transfer and the development of processing industries;
— the formation of reliable international partnerships.
Particular attention was given to TMK’s work to build a complete value chain — from geological exploration of critical minerals to advanced processing and the production of high-value-added products.
The discussion also covered the introduction of modern technologies, the development of research and innovation, and the expansion of international industrial cooperation.
TMK will continue its open and constructive dialogue with the international expert community, strengthening Uzbekistan’s position as a reliable partner in the critical minerals sector.
