Balázs Hendrich, Chairman of the Board of the Drought Prevention Institute of the Organization of Turkic States (DPI), will share his expertise at the panel session focusing on the Water-Energy-Food Nexus on Tashkent International Investment Forum — 2026.

Acute water stress across Central Asia — driven by shrinking glaciers and competing demands from agriculture, energy, and urbanization — presents both critical systemic risks and unique commercial avenues.

The discussion will analyze the increasing allocation of climate-focused capital toward precision irrigation, agritech innovation, advanced water recycling, and climate-smart infrastructure designed to reinforce regional ecological and economic resilience.
