The Turkmen market is one of the most promising yet distinct commercial landscapes in Central Asia. For U.S. companies looking to expand their global footprint, navigating this high-growth region requires more than just a great product—it requires strategic insight, local expertise, and trusted connections.
The Turkmen American Business Cooperation Association (TABCA) serves as the premier bridge for American firms aiming to sell, buy, or establish a professional presence in Turkmenistan.
