BAKU, Azerbaijan, July 9. Uzbekistan is
exploring new investment projects and international partnerships in
the space industry, with a focus on using satellite data to address
challenges in agriculture, water management and environmental
monitoring.
This was reflected in the statement by Uzcosmos following the
talks with representatives of Star.Vision, Oman Lens, Mars
Development and Investments and UzOman to discuss prospective
cooperation in space technologies and other strategic areas.
A key focus of the talks was the practical application of space
technologies and satellite data across major sectors of
Uzbekistan's economy. The sides considered how Earth observation
and other space-based solutions could be used to improve
agricultural management, monitor water resources and support
environmental oversight.
"Particular attention was paid to the effective use of space
technologies and satellite data to address practical challenges in
agriculture, water resources management and environmental
monitoring," the agency said.
The discussions also covered the potential use of satellite
technologies in urban planning and other strategically important
sectors. Space-based data can provide authorities and businesses
with information on land use, crop conditions, water availability
and environmental changes, supporting more data-driven planning and
resource management.
Uzbekistan has been working to expand the use of satellite
monitoring technologies as part of its broader digital
transformation and technology development agenda. The latest talks
reflect the country's efforts to attract international expertise
and investment into emerging high-tech industries.
Uzcosmos described the meeting as "another important step toward
expanding international partnerships and advancing innovative space
initiatives."
The agency said prospective projects discussed during the talks
are expected to focus on sustainable development and technological
progress, while strengthening cooperation with international
companies active in space and investment-related sectors.
The parties are expected to continue engagement on potential
joint initiatives and investment projects as Uzbekistan seeks to
broaden the practical application of satellite data across its
economy.
