One of the key meetings was a conversation with Eleonora Rizzuto, the Director of Sustainable Development and Corporate Social Responsibility for the Bvlgari and LVMH group. Shykmamatov shared information about the current state of the jewelry sector in Kyrgyzstan, as well as the reforms and government support measures aimed at developing jewelry production.
The interlocutors discussed Kyrgyzstan's potential in the processing of precious metals and stones, as well as opportunities for attracting foreign investments and establishing cooperation with international brands. As a result of the negotiations, a decision was made to conduct training for Kyrgyz jewelers at Bvlgari.
Additionally, Shykmamatov met with Massimo Polero, the president of the Association of Manufacturers and Exporters of Jewelry Equipment, where they discussed ways to cooperate in this field. He proposed options for joint actions, including the possibility of acquiring equipment from the company AFEMO to organize a full cycle of jewelry production in Kyrgyzstan.
Meetings were also held with representatives of Trevi Group S.r.l. and Damiani Group, where modern technologies and equipment were discussed, including laboratory solutions for analyzing precious metals and methods used in jewelry production.
At the end of the negotiations, an agreement was reached for a visit by Italian jewelry manufacturers to Kyrgyzstan to study the local market and continue discussions on possible joint projects.
Representatives of the State Tax Service emphasized that the Vicenzaoro exhibition is one of the leading international B2B platforms where jewelry, precious stones, technologies, and equipment are showcased, as well as where business connections are established and global trends in the jewelry industry are studied.
