E-TechExpo Uzbekistan 2026: Dates, Tickets & Venue (Tashkent)

Three days of circuit boards on Amir Temur Avenue

Picture rows of shell-scheme stands under high exhibition-hall ceilings, each one strung with cable reels, switchgear cabinets, LED panels and demo screens on loop. That is the floor of E-TechExpo Uzbekistan 2026, held at Uzexpocentre in Tashkent on November 10-12, 2026.

This is the show’s 5th anniversary edition. Its full name explains the scope: the International Exhibition of Electronics, Electrical Engineering and Innovative Technologies. Expect hardware you can touch, not only slide decks.

Who the halls are built for

This is a trade exhibition first. Most people walking the aisles are there to buy, sell, source or find a distributor in Central Asia’s most populous country.

The three themes usually spread across stands like these:

• Electronics: components, consumer devices, displays and assembly equipment
• Electrical engineering: cables, transformers, lighting, switchgear and power distribution
• Innovative technologies: automation, smart-building systems and newer energy tech

Uzbekistan has spent recent years opening its economy and upgrading its grid and industry. That makes a show like this a practical place to meet local contractors and importers face to face.

Getting to Uzexpocentre

The venue sits on Amir Temur Avenue in the north of central Tashkent. The Tashkent TV Tower and the Japanese Garden are its neighbours, so the tower’s lattice spire is a handy landmark from a taxi window.

The nearest metro stop is Bodomzor on the Yunusobod Line. From there it is a short walk south along the avenue. Tashkent’s metro is cheap, frequent and easy to read, with station names shown in Latin script.

Most international visitors simply use Yandex Go, the ride-hailing app that dominates the city. Drivers know Uzexpocentre by name, and the app removes any haggling. From Tashkent International Airport the ride is typically under half an hour outside rush periods.

Working the halls in Tashkent

A few habits make the floor easier to navigate here.

• Language: Russian and Uzbek carry most conversations on stands. English is common with exhibitor sales teams but far from universal, so visitors often keep a translation app open.
• Business cards: paper cards are still swapped constantly. A card with a Russian side is noticed and appreciated.
• Greetings: a handshake is standard between men; with women, attendees usually wait to see if a hand is offered. A hand placed on the heart is a polite greeting on its own.
• Payment: Uzcard and Humo are the local card networks, and international Visa and Mastercard work in most hotels and larger venues. Small cafés and kiosks often prefer som in cash.
• Messaging: Telegram is the default business app in Uzbekistan. Contacts swapped on the floor usually continue there rather than by email.

Trade-show visitors generally get the most from the opening day, when exhibitors are fresh and decision-makers tend to be present. The final afternoon is often quieter, which suits longer conversations.

Tashkent in November

Mid-November in Tashkent is cool autumn: crisp mornings, mild afternoons and the odd grey, rainy day. Delegates typically pack a warm layer for the walk between metro, taxi and hall.

The halls themselves are heated, so a jacket that comes off easily works better than a heavy coat. Days on an exhibition floor are long on foot, and the concrete aisles do not forgive thin soles.

Around the venue after hours

You do not need to go far once the stands close.

• Japanese Garden: next door, with ponds, bridges and paths for a quiet half hour.
• Tashkent TV Tower: the tallest structure in Central Asia, with an observation deck when it is open.
• Amir Timur Square: a short metro ride south, ringed by the Hotel Uzbekistan and the Amir Timur Museum.
• Chorsu Bazaar: under its turquoise dome in the old city, the place for plov, non bread and dried fruit to take home.

Many visitors also ride a few metro stops just to see the stations. Kosmonavtlar and Alisher Navoi are the ones with the most ornate interiors, and photography has been permitted on the metro for several years.
