U.S. Business Delegation to the Middle Corridor Region: Exploring Trade, Energy, Infrastructure and Logistics in Azerbaijan, Georgia and Kazakhstan

The United States-Azerbaijan Chamber of Commerce (USACC), the America-Georgia Business Council, and the American Chamber of Commerce in Kazakhstan, in partnership with the U.S. Commercial Service, announce the U.S. Business Delegation to the Middle Corridor Region: Exploring Trade, Energy, Infrastructure and Logistics, scheduled for September 4–11, 2025, with dedicated programs in Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, and Georgia.

This strategic initiative aims to strengthen commercial engagement along the Middle  Corridor – a vital trade artery in the Eurasian continent connecting East and West through Central Asia and Caucasus to Europe. The mission will convene U.S. companies representing sectors such as energy, critical infrastructure, digital trade, new technologies, transportation and logistics. 

What is the Middle Corridor? 

The Middle Corridor is an emerging trade and transit route that connects Central Asia to the South Caucasus via the Caspian Sea and extends into Eastern Europe and Mediterranean. Its strategic geographic location, advanced logistics infrastructure, modern ports, cargo facilities, and free trade zones offer significant opportunities for facilitating the movement of goods and services between Europe and Asia.

The COVID-19 pandemic and ongoing geopolitical shifts in Eastern Europe have underscored the vulnerability of global supply chains to unforeseen disruptions. In this context, the Middle Corridor stands out by offering a secure, predictable, and integrated network of trade and transit facilities and harmonized services. In recent years, a growing number of Western companies have established operations across the Middle Corridor economies, recognizing its strategic value in diversifying and strengthening supply chains.
