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.
