Description

The U.S. Department of State’s Embassy Bishkek Public Diplomacy Section (PDS) announces an open competition to implement a program to foster greater commercial ties between the United States and the Kyrgyz Republic by promoting economic growth and local employment. This program directly advances U.S. foreign policy by making America more prosperous through expanded market access and business opportunities for U.S. companies in the Kyrgyz Republic. The program will create tangible partnership opportunities for American businesses and investors by cultivating a Kyrgyz workforce and business ecosystem better equipped to engage with U.S. partners. Activities will promote U.S. products and services to Kyrgyzstani consumers, strengthen connections between American and Kyrgyz businesses, and foster intellectual property protections that benefit U.S. innovators. Target participants include emerging and mid-career Kyrgyz entrepreneurs, business professionals, and potential consumers of U.S. goods and services. The program will build entrepreneurship skills using American best practices in e-commerce, business planning, venture capital attraction, and IP safeguarding. Ultimately, this initiative expands the U.S. commercial footprint in the Kyrgyz Republic, generating economic opportunities that make America safer, more prosperous, and stronger.
