INFORMATION
The Caspian Region around the Caspian Sea, the world's largest inland sea, is the bridge between Europe and Asia.
With its vast oil and gas reserves, the region is not only a significant source of energy, but also, as the interface of various international transport corridors like the Belt And Road Initiative, The International North-South Transport Corridor (INSTC) and the Middle Corridor (Trans-Caspian International Transport Route), an increasingly important transit hub. With the Covid-19 pandemic and the Suez crisis the attractiveness of this region as a transit hub between Europe and Asia has increased. In order to fully exploit this potential, the region around Caucasus and Central Asia needs more international cooperation.
The Caspian Europe Forum provides the ideal platform to promote and enhance economic relations and cooperation between Europe and the Caspian region.
After the huge success of the First Edition in 2020, the 2nd Caspian Europe Forum is even bigger. This year a full two-day program is planned with the focus on logistics and infrastructure, energy and sustainability, digital economy, vocational training, agriculture, health economy, digital economy and foreign direct investment. The conference will also discuss the current situation in Afghanistan and its potential impacts on the Caspian Region.
Like last year, the conference will be hybrid. With a presence event in Berlin and online on the platform clabb.
New this year will be also a virtual fair parallel to the conference, where companies can book booths and as exhibitors present their organization and services in digital interactive formats and make contacts and matchmakings via chat.
