The parties discussed the further development of cooperation in artificial intelligence, cloud technologies, and support for technology startups, as well as opportunities to expand access for Uzbek specialists and companies to Alibaba Group’s international technological expertise.
One of the key areas of discussion was the potential launch of Alibaba Cloud educational programs in artificial intelligence for members of IT Park and Uzbek specialists. These programs could include technical workshops and professional certification preparation.
Particular attention was also given to the possibility of providing selected Uzbek startups with access to Alibaba Cloud resources for the development, testing, and further advancement of AI-based solutions.
The parties also explored opportunities to organize joint AI hackathons and innovation challenges involving Alibaba Cloud experts and representatives of the IT Park Uzbekistan startup ecosystem. Such formats could contribute to the development of practical AI skills, the testing of new technology solutions, and stronger engagement between startups and international experts.
IT Park Uzbekistan has been developing cooperation with Alibaba Group since 2020. Initially, the collaboration focused on e-commerce and opportunities to enter the Chinese market. In June 2025, discussions with representatives of Alibaba Cloud and Alibaba.com addressed the expansion of bilateral cooperation, while in July 2026 the focus was broadened to include artificial intelligence, cloud technologies, and digital infrastructure.
Founded in 1999, Alibaba Group operates across e-commerce, cloud computing, digital media, logistics, and consumer services. The group’s global digital platforms reach more than 200 countries and regions, while Alibaba Cloud is one of the company’s key technology business areas.
