The Defining Theme: Transnational Value Networks
Along the Middle Corridor, value is increasingly created within the region itself, through cross-border webs of sourcing, processing, manufacturing and distribution that turn the Trans-Caspian region's resources into traded products. SCALEX puts these transnational value networks at the heart of the programme.
The themes range from critical raw materials such as rare earths and metals, to the textile and apparel value networks emerging in Uzbekistan, to agri-food and industrial inputs. SCALEX looks at how the region adds and keeps more of the value along the chain, and brings producers, processors, logistics providers and international partners together to do exactly that.
