State programs supporting the IT sector, as well as the activities of non-profit, donor, and private organizations, contribute to the growth of various IT communities. In Uzbekistan, the number of people interested in IT topics is growing day by day. Therefore, active individuals are creating interest groups on topics such as project management in the IT sector, programming, managing technological solutions, and more.
