Trade commissioner: UK may become supplier of environmentally friendly technologies to Azerbaijan

The UK may become a supplier of environmentally friendly technologies that will open up wide opportunities for Azerbaijan, which is developing infrastructure in line with modern requirements, Trade Commissioner for Eastern Europe and Central Asia and British Consul General in Istanbul, Kenan Poleo, said in an interview with Report.

"I see huge opportunities for joint projects in this space. To take just one area, UK companies offer valuable expertise and sustainable solutions in the water sector, presenting significant opportunities for Azerbaijan as it continues to focus on environmentally conscious infrastructure development.

UK company Concrete Canvas (CC) produces an innovative concrete solution that is 65% more environmentally friendly than traditional concrete, aligning with global standards. They provide sustainable concrete solutions for irrigation and water management in Azerbaijan. This collaboration showcases the UK's ability to deliver cutting-edge, clean technologies tailored to Azerbaijan's needs. Additionally, UK Export Finance, the UK’s export credit agency, has an untapped £5 billion credit limit for Azerbaijan, offering great opportunities for UK and Azerbaijani businesses," he noted.

"Digital Construction, Modern Methods of Construction (MMC), and Green Buildings are key areas where the UK offers strong expertise and is keen on partnering with Azerbaijan. A consortium of British companies is working with Azerbaijan to implement Building Information Modelling (BIM), supporting sustainable building efforts," he added.
