On October 21, 2025, the CAREC Women’s Business Forum took place in Bishkek, one of the key events of the year dedicated to gender-responsive green innovation in Central and West Asia.

As part of the forum, the Green Innovation Exhibition was held, where the KyrSEFF Program was showcased.

KyrSEFF engineers presented to forum participants how the program works, what energy-efficient and renewable energy solutions are available in Kyrgyzstan, and how individuals and businesses can access affordable financing and grants of up to 15% for implementing green technologies.

KyrSEFF helps businesses and households reduce energy consumption, increase comfort, and contribute to the country’s sustainable development.

The program demonstrates that green finance is not only about ecology, but also about savings, innovation, and opportunities for women.

We express our gratitude to the CAREC organizers, the Asian Development Bank, the OSCE Academy, UNDP, EBRD, Eldik Bank, and UNISON Group for creating a platform that brings together leaders and partners of green transformation.

For its participation in the exhibition, the KyrSEFF team received a certificate of appreciation from the organizers.
