Uzbekistan has many creative young talented people thanks to the long history of diverse cultures and nationalities mixed in the center of the Great Silk Road. Therefore it is the fertile ground for exciting startups to look for by potential investors.

One inspiring example is Beknazar Abdikamalov, who, despite having a successful startup abroad, promised our President during his Karakalpakstan visit to share his knowledge and experience with Uzbek youth — an act of true patriotism.

We believe Uzbekistan will soon produce more unicorns! Get inspired by Hupo’s success!

Prezidentimiz yoshlar bilan uchrashuvda ularning imkoniyatlarini ro’yobga chiqarish bo’yicha, xususan ularning startaplarini yanada rivojlantirishga qaratilgan yangi tashabbuslarni ilgari surdilar.

O’z startaplarini rivojlantirish niyatidagi yoshlarimizga jahon bozorlarida muvaffaqiyat qozonishga intilayotgan o‘zbek startap asoschilari faoliyatlari bilan yaqinroq tanishish ham qo’shimcha motivatsiya berishi aniq.

Shunday startaplardan biri, hozir Dubayda o’z faoliyatini kengaytirayotgan raqamli farmatsevtika ekotizimi FOM Group asoschisi Murat Maxkamov bilan uchrashdik. Uning startapi 7000 dan ortiq dorixonalarga 3M+ mijozlari bilan ulanishga yordam bermoqda va shu kungacha  7 million dollar sarmoya jalb qilishga erishdi. 

Albatta, ular uchun mutlaqo yangi bozorda, ya’ni BAAdagi 400 dan ortiq dorixonalar bilan bog‘lanish oson emas, buning uchun juda qattiq harakat va tirishqoqlik muhimdir.

Bunday startaplar tajribasidan yangi startap boshlayotgan yoshlarimiz uchun ham imkoni boricha kattaroq bozorga chiqadigan, ko’proq insonlarning muammolariga yechim bo'la oladigan loyihalarga e’tibor qilish, hamda yaxshi niyat bilan, uchraydigan qiyinchililarga yengilmay tirishqoqlik bilan harakat qilish muhim ekanligini o’rgansa bo’ladi.

FOM haqida batafsil: https://fom.group

Another victory for Uzbekistan is an important sign for companies seeking to leverage their competitiveness through looking for affordable talents.

The international summit “Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week” opened with exciting news.

The Presidential School in Tashkent won 1st place in the “Global Middle Schools” nomination, highlighting global recognition of Uzbekistan’s rapidly advancing education system.

In recent years, Uzbekistan has seen remarkable reforms in education and innovation. Over the past seven years, the coverage rate in preschool education has increased from 27% to 72%, while in higher education, it has risen from 9% to 42%.

All schools are connected to broadband. To prepare youth for the digital world, initiatives like “One Million Uzbek Coders” were launched.

Uzbekistan ranks #1 globally on Coursera, with 6.25% of the workforce actively learning—far above the global average of 0.73%. The number of IT education centers in the country has increased from 78 to 500, and currently, 25,000 young people are receiving education in future-oriented IT professions each year at these institutions.

The number of higher education institutions specializing in IT has reached 110, with 60,000 students currently enrolled in these programs. The number of freelancers earning income in the ICT sector has reached 86,000.

At present, a total of 38,000 skilled IT specialists are employed in active IT companies across the country.

In 2024, 79,000 young people received training in foreign languages and obtained C1-level or higher certifications. The educational and certification expenses of 2,400 young people for obtaining international IT certifications were reimbursed. Currently, these professionals with IT certifications are earning $1,000 or more per month.

Now, Uzbekistan, in partnership with the UAE, is launching a bold initiative to train 1 million AI prompters, making prompt engineering a key skill of the future.

These efforts are transforming Uzbekistan into a talent pool for the global IT market, equipped with future-forward skills.

This combined with tax free regime up to 2040 for ITES exporting companies makes Uzbekistan ideal place for outsourcing: https://outsource.gov.uz/en

Президентимизнинг алоҳида эътиборлари туфайли АКТ соҳаси ёшларимиз даромад топишлари учун энг қулай соҳалардан бирига айланиб бормоқда. Ўтаётган йилда АКТ соҳасида банд бўлганлар сони фрилансерларни ҳам инобатга олганда 190 мингдан ортди, бу ўтган йилгига қараганда 35 фоизга кўпдир! Яратилган шароитлар туфайли соҳамиз барча хизмат соҳалари орасида энг юқори ўсиш суръатларига эга бўлиб келмоқди, ойига 50 та чет эл капитали иштирокидаги янги компаниялар офисларини рўйхатдан ўтказаётганини гувоҳи бўлаяпмиз.

Бу эса ёшларимизга интернетдаги вақтларини беҳуда ўтказмай, чет тиллари ва замонавий касбларни ўрганишга кўпроқ эътибор қаратиш зарурлигини кўрсатмоқда. Жуда кўп БЕПУЛ ўрганиш имкониятлари бор. Барчаси ҳақида маълумотни Uzbekcoders.uz сайти орқали олса бўлади. Ёки https://it-istedod.uz/online-resources.html ва https://100imkoniyat.uz/

Янги йилга ёшларга энг яхши совға эса Ноутбук! (Планшет ёки телефон эмас) Ноутбукда айнан ижод қилиб, янгилик яратишга имконияти янада кўпаяди. Буёғига байрамларда айнан ноутбук совға қилишни тавсия қиламиз.

Uzbekistan has made a historic leap in the Gender Equality and Governance Index, rising 51 positions, from 103rd to 52nd place!

This success shows real progress in women’s education, economic empowerment, and the growth of innovative IT initiatives.

We’re committed to increasing women’s participation in the IT sector. Our educational programs aim to ensure that every woman can thrive, benefiting from the accessible public services created by the state.

Uzbekistan is a country full of talented youth, and our ambitious, creative girls are at the forefront. Empowering young women in tech is a source of national pride.

By breaking down barriers, we’re opening doors for women to lead in technology. With talent, creativity, and determination, there are no limits to what can be achieved!

This achievement reflects the power of teamwork. Thanks to international organizations, private companies, and local initiatives, Uzbekistan is building an inclusive IT ecosystem driven by diversity.

Supporting women in tech is an investment in the future—one that benefits everyone.

While progress has been made, we know there’s more to do. Women remain underrepresented, especially in rural areas. We’re working to boost computer literacy and provide technology access for rural women.

Our Vision: Every woman should have the opportunity to reach her potential, be well-educated, and equipped to earn a living—maybe even lead the next tech unicorns!

By 2030, under the Digital Uzbekistan Strategy, we aim for 300,000 IT specialists, with women making up at least half of them.

Together, we can build an inclusive, innovative future, where every girl and woman can shape the digital world.

Join us in this mission! We welcome international organizations, private companies, and individuals to collaborate in empowering girls in STEM and STEAM fields.

Let’s continue working to ensure equality and diversity in every corner of Uzbekistan!
