The Trans-Caspian Transport Corridor Coordination Center, designed to enhance the infrastructure and functionality of the route, was launched in 2024. The center focuses on boosting TITR’s competitiveness and aims to reduce delivery times between Europe and Asia to 15 days. Countries and companies from Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Türkiye, and China are participating, highlighting the route’s importance for global trade.
