At the beginning of the meeting, it was noted that the joint project had been presented to the Head of State, received a positive assessment, and gained principled support from the country’s leadership. It was emphasized that this endorsement provides additional momentum for accelerating the preparatory stages and moving toward the practical implementation of the initiative.

For reference, Vision Invest is a leading Saudi investment and infrastructure company implementing projects within the framework of public-private partnerships. Together with SUEZ — a global leader in water supply, wastewater treatment, and waste recycling with more than 160 years of international experience — the company contributes to the development of next-generation infrastructure in the region and supports the transition toward a more sustainable and environmentally oriented economy through strategic cooperation with government institutions and international partners.

During the negotiations, the parties discussed key stages of the project’s implementation, including the completion of the preliminary feasibility study, the selection of technological solutions aimed at transforming waste into a resource, and the preparation of the site for the construction of the high-tech industrial waste management cluster. Particular attention was also given to the mobilization of technical specialists and the prompt transition to practical implementation.

Following the meeting, the parties agreed to sign an investment agreement during the upcoming Eco Expo Central Asia 2026 international exhibition, which will take place in Samarkand on June 2–4, 2026. Specific instructions were also issued to ensure the transition to the construction phase of the project and the commencement of construction works from June of this year.

The implementation of the project under the patronage of the National Committee on Ecology and Climate Change will mark an important step toward establishing a modern industrial waste management system in Uzbekistan by combining the investment capacity of Vision Invest with the technological expertise of SUEZ.
