Ready4Trade Central Asia: Fostering Prosperity Through the Trans-Caspian Transport Corridor

Resumen

The project aims to advance the EU-Central Asia connectivity agenda through increasing the operational efficiency of the Trans-Caspian Transport Corridor and internationalisation of Central Asian business. This will be achieved through simplifying cross-border formalities in Central Asia to attract trade and sustainable investment; improving regional coordination across Central Asian countries to foster trade and transport connectivity; and enhancing the competitiveness of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) to facilitate their access to regional and EU markets, including through leveraging the Trans-Caspian Transport Corridor.   

Part of the EU-funded “Prosperity in Central Asia” programme, the project builds on the results of the EU-funded Ready4Trade Central Asia (2020-2024). 

The project will involve a wide range of Central Asian stakeholders in the implementation of its activities, such as governmental bodies, including relevant ministries, border regulatory agencies and customs authorities within the region; as well as local business support organizations (BSOs) and academia.
