brought together representatives of Schwarz Digits, STACKIT, and
local technology companies for talks aimed at strengthening
technological cooperation between Uzbekistan and Europe and
facilitating the entry of Uzbek IT firms into the European
corporate market, Trend reports via IT Park Uzbekistan.


The discussion focused on key requirements for entering the
European market, including data storage and protection standards,
compliance with European security and regulatory frameworks, and
the expectations of large corporate clients. Participants also
highlighted the importance of reliable infrastructure and strong

reliability, and trust in technology providers, noting that
sovereign cloud solutions are increasingly a core requirement in
the enterprise segment.

Europe, readiness of Uzbek IT companies to serve enterprise
clients, and alignment with strict data protection and compliance

strategy to expand international partnerships and increase export
opportunities for the country’s IT sector, strengthening
