The 5th International Conference and Exhibition Black and Caspian Freight Forum 2026: Corridors, Infrastructure, Investments will take place in Baku on September 7-9, 2026. The event will be held at the Four Seasons Hotel Baku.

The forum will bring together representatives of government institutions, international financial organizations, ports and railway companies, the transport and logistics sector, the investment community, businesses, and expert organizations, The Caspian Post reports.

The event is organized by RDL Group in cooperation with CASPIA Analytical Center.

The discussions will focus on the changes taking place in Eurasia’s transport system amid the restructuring of global supply chains, shifts in trade routes, and growing demand for alternative routes between Asia and Europe.

One of the key topics will be the development of the Middle Corridor and its role in establishing new transport links between Central Asia, the South Caucasus, Türkiye, and European markets. Participants will discuss not only the prospects for further developing the route, but also the issues that determine its practical efficiency, including infrastructure capacity, the condition of ports and railways, coordination between different modes of transport, investment needs, and the digitalization of logistics processes.

The discussions are also expected to address cargo flows across the Caspian Sea, the development of port and railway infrastructure, cooperation among transport operators, and prospects for further connecting the transport networks of Central Asia and the South Caucasus with the Black Sea region and Europe.

Another topic will be new regional infrastructure initiatives, including TRIPP (Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity), and their potential impact on regional connectivity.

The forum will also cover investment in transport infrastructure, the development of ports and railway networks, multimodal transportation, the digitalization of logistics, maritime transportation across the Caspian and Black Seas, and the prospects for international transport corridors.
