That is why the latest figures from Aghdam Industrial Park deserve far more attention than they have received. During the first half of 2026, companies operating in the park generated AZN 976 million (USD 574.12 million) in product sales, including AZN 42 million (USD 24.71 million) in exports. Investors have committed more than AZN 177 million (USD 104.12 million), while the park has already created 1,230 permanent jobs. By the number of resident companies, Aghdam Industrial Park has become Azerbaijan's second-largest industrial park, behind only Sumgait Chemical Industrial Park, which remains the largest industrial park in the South Caucasus. By that standard, Aghdam Industrial Park may represent one of the clearest indicators yet that Azerbaijan's strategy for Karabakh is entering a new phase.
