In an era of rapid digital transformation, globalisation, and shifting trade policies, businesses, economies, and societies are redefining their growth strategies. The emergence of disruptive technologies—including artificial intelligence, blockchain, automation, and FinTech—is not only accelerating economic transformations but also reshaping the way businesses engage in global trade. While these advancements foster connectivity and drive sustainable growth, they also introduce new complexities, such as economic dependencies, regulatory challenges, and evolving trade dynamics.

As global trade evolves in response to a rapidly changing business environment, the introduction of tariffs between long-standing partners, shifts in trade policies, and the emergence of new technologies are reshaping economic stability, market competitiveness, and business resilience, presenting both challenges and opportunities. The evolving global landscape requires innovative approaches to economic development, business strategy, and financial management. Moreover, as businesses navigate these transformations, it is crucial to explore how technological progress and trade shifts contribute to sustainable development and economic inclusivity.

The Westminster International University in Tashkent (WIUT) will hold its 4^th Tashkent Business and Economics Conference (TBEC) on Wednesday, October 29, 2025.
