Uzbekistan continues to strengthen its information technology sector with a strategic focus on expanding IT service exports. The country is witnessing a steady increase in the number of enterprises collaborating with international partners and developing software solutions across various industries. However, alongside emerging opportunities, the industry also faces a number of critical challenges that must be addressed.
The development of IT exports was a key focus of discussions held between the management of IT Park Uzbekistan and representatives of leading IT companies operating in global markets. The meeting was attended by EPAM Systems, EAST GAMES, ITRANSITION, TECH-HIVE, DATADEP, and FORWARD GATEWAY. Among the primary topics were enhancing professional competencies, strengthening the global competitiveness of local IT teams, and aligning educational programs with the requirements of the international market.
Workforce Development for the Global Market
The growing demand for IT services is creating new opportunities for industry professionals. To meet the expectations of international partners, participants discussed measures aimed at enhancing educational initiatives, including advanced training programs, intensive foreign language courses, and practice-oriented training modules.
Furthermore, IT-exporting companies expressed their readiness to support emerging professionals and startups. During the meeting, a proposal was put forward to establish a mentorship program designed to assist IT teams in adapting to the requirements of the global market and confidently entering the international arena.
Artificial Intelligence as a New Growth Area
Another critical subject of discussion was the development of artificial intelligence (AI). This segment is increasingly becoming a priority for IT companies and is also garnering significant interest from government entities. Meeting participants explored potential areas for collaboration in AI-driven projects, including engagement in public and private initiatives aimed at the integration of cutting-edge technologies.
Next Steps
IT Park Uzbekistan is committed to continuing its active support for export-oriented companies. Key priorities include the development of comprehensive educational programs, the launch of mentorship initiatives, and the creation of a conducive environment for the advancement of new technologies.
The expansion of IT exports and high-tech solutions will not only reinforce Uzbekistan’s position in the global market but also open new prospects for local professionals. Strengthening the IT sector will contribute to job creation, the emergence of high-paying professions, the attraction of foreign investments, and the continued growth of Uzbekistan’s digital economy. In the long term, these efforts will enhance the overall quality of life, establish a robust technology-driven ecosystem across all regions of the country, and create broader opportunities for remote work and digital services.
