The forum "Women Shaping the Startup Ecosystem" took place in Tashkent.

Kamola Sobirova, Advisor to the Minister of Digital Technologies of the Republic of Uzbekistan A startup doesn't begin with capital, but with the decision to try. Money, a team, and a market appear later, while the first step is almost always taken alone and with doubts. Today, in an era of rapid change, success goes not to those with the most resources, but to those who adapt faster and master new tools—including artificial intelligence. That is why we want every woman with an idea to have people who have already walked this path beside her: a community of like-minded peers and modern technologies. The forum is designed for this: to show that the journey from idea to business is real, and to provide concrete tools to make it happen.
