Abstract:
According to official statistics of the countries of Central Asia, most MSMEs had to reduce a number of employers, specifically who had no soft skills during the pandemic lockdown in the years of 2020 and 2021. For that period, the demand for IT products and services was sharply increased that led to development and extension of IT companies in Central Asia. With this regard, the general digital education in all fields provided by business sector has been a key source of income generation not only at private universities, but also for SMEs themselves. The roundtable proposed gathers a variety of SME leaders and scholars studying SME development in order to discuss the potential and capacity building between business sector and academic/research communities. The cases and lessons learnt in developed economies illustrate that research and academic institutions closely cooperate with representatives of business sector to advance the knowledge into practice by creating the research and development communications and frameworks. For example, the MSMEs of Central Asia have a lack of research skills and knowledge, but are full of innovative technologies to introduce into business. While researchers and academicians do not have an idea how to transfer and probe research skills and knowledge into practice to justify and acknowledge their research assumptions. Moreover, during the discussions within the roundtable the possible fruitful research and development collaboration might be created.

Session 1 Sunday 23 October, 2022, -Paper abstract:
Over the world, during last two-three decades, sustainable rural development has become a priority goal of developed economies’ state programs because of recognizing a substantial value and a key role of rural economy in shaping the framework of both national and international trade relations and in furthering economic development of a country as a whole. Thus, the development of sector of agriculture under the framework of sustainable rural development has become one of primary objectives of the developing countries’ national strategies. For example, in the countries of Central Asia sustainable agricultural development can be achieved through effective and systematic value chain management. Moreover, if value chain management will be developed among the countries of Central Asia, the integration process will be more harmonized and beneficial for further regional development.
Key words: value chain analysis, rural development, sustainable development, SMEs, agriculture, value chain management, international development programs
Paper abstract:
This paper discusses the existing state of economic related digitalization in logistics, its’ development and impact as of one principal stakeholders’ trade facilitation across the European Union, Central and East Asia. Since digital technology has become one of the main drivers of economic progress that promotes trade and entrepreneurship, as well as put countries forward into a globalized, integrated world. Therefore, the digitalization process in the customs centers of Central Asian countries can be taken into account in the context of technological advances. The COVID-19 pandemic has proved that the digitalization is no longer an option, but rather an necessity for developing economies like the countries of Central Asia. In this paper the challenges are discussed and the prospect are proposed in the sectors of agriculture and industry by taking into account of mountainous areas, economic positions, technological development and interborder control management systems of the countries of Central Asia.
Paper abstract:
Like never before, specifically the public-private sector partnerships (PPPs) must play an essential role in developing and also recovering small and medium-sized enterprises after the Covid-19 pandemic. The PPP mechanism itself is considered to be able to produce a lot of benefits and advantages if it is properly and duly implemented by both parties - governments and business sector. Those benefits are further listed: increased accountable competition among SMEs, created job opportunities, improved or/ and reconstructed infrastructure, increased productivity and efficiency of SMEs and other benefits. The governments of Central Asia possess such unique resources and possibilities toward building capacity and increasing productivity that SMEs have no in hand, while SMEs have the innovative approaches to generate income in a flexible way and the innovative skills to foresee and avoid high risks and crises. Therefore, a combination or emergence of the government's available resources and SMEs' innovative skills can lead to develop sustainable public-private sector partnerships within the country and among the countries of Central Asia.
