One of Türkiye’s largest multinational conglomerates, Anadolu Group, has made a major integration move into Uzbekistan's automotive industry. Anadolu Isuzu, a subsidiary of this industrial giant which operates across 8 different sectors in 20 countries with 6 R&D centers, approximately 100 production facilities, and over 100,000 employees, took a strategic step by acquiring a 75,2% state share in SamAuto JV LLC in Samarkand.
The General Manager of “SamAuto,” Neşet Fatih Vural, paid an official visit to the prestigious “Silk Road” International University of Tourism and Cultural Heritage in Samarkand, where he met with the University Rector, Muhsinjon Kholmukhamedov. During the meeting, an official agreement was reached to implement a dual education system and ensure guaranteed employment for graduates, elevating the synergy between higher education and the industrial sector to a brand new level.
Muhsinjon Kholmukhamedov, Rector: “Today, the most critical task facing higher education is not just providing theoretical knowledge, but training truly competitive personnel for the labor market. The dual education system being launched with global manufacturing giants like “Anadolu Group” and “SamAuto” will allow our students to experience the international corporate environment and work with advanced technologies during their studies. This partnership agreement will be a direct gateway to guaranteed and high-paying jobs for our graduates.”
Neşet Fatih Vural, General Manager of “SamAuto”: “As part of its “Vision 2035” strategic roadmap, “Anadolu Group” aims to make long-term investments in Uzbekistan and the Central Asian region. We believe in developing not only production capacities but also human capital. Our cooperation with the “Silk Road” International University of Tourism and Cultural Heritage will serve to supply our company with the most talented, modern-thinking, and energetic young professionals. We are ready not just to accept students for internships, but to shape them into the future global leaders of our conglomerate.”
At the conclusion of the meetings, it was determined to sign an official partnership agreement and approve a practical action plan in the coming days.
