BAKU, Azerbaijan, September 30. Uzbekistan and
Tajikistan are moving to deepen cooperation between their
technology parks, including through joint startup and incubation
programs and efforts to help Central Asian IT companies enter
international markets, following today's meeting in Dushanbe.
This was reflected in a statement by the Ministry of Digital
Technologies of Uzbekistan following a visit by an Uzbek delegation
led by Deputy Minister Jamol Makhsudov to IT Park Dushanbe during a
working trip to Tajikistan. The delegation reviewed the technology
park’s operations, incentives and conditions for residents, as well
as its cooperation with IT Park Uzbekistan.
“Strengthening cooperation between our technology parks will
create new opportunities for startups and IT companies in both
countries, while joint regional initiatives can help Central Asian
businesses expand into international markets,” the Uzbek side
said.
During the meeting, the parties discussed accelerating
cooperation between IT Park Uzbekistan and IT Park Dushanbe,
launching joint startup and incubation programs, and creating more
favorable conditions for the development of IT companies.
Particular attention was given to the Central Asian Innovation
Hub initiative, which aims to support the international expansion
of regional IT companies and startups. The sides also discussed
expanding joint participation in major international technology
events, conferences and exhibitions under a unified regional
brand.
As part of efforts to strengthen the exchange of experience, the
parties agreed to organize a visit by representatives and residents
of IT Park Uzbekistan to Tajikistan in October.
The cooperation is expected to provide additional opportunities
for startups, technology companies and innovation ecosystems in
Uzbekistan and Tajikistan to develop cross-border partnerships and
access international markets.
