The Xinjiang Sub-center of the SCO Big Data Cooperation Center is a specialized structure within the SCO Big Data Cooperation Center, established to promote the digital economy and technological interaction between China and Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) countries. The organization's goal is to strengthen technological partnerships, develop human resources, and facilitate digital integration within the SCO framework.

The Center specializes in the development of big data, artificial intelligence, and cloud computing in the SCO region, and also supports startups and intergovernmental IT projects.

The Chinese delegation included Liu Hanyi, Director of the Karaganda Cloud Computing Industrial Park, Bai Lu, Deputy Director of the Karaganda Department of Industry and Informatization, Yuan Dundun, Senior Specialist of the Karaganda Department of Foreign Affairs, and others.

Chinese partners shared plans for the digitalization of Karaganda and presented the activities of the Sub-center for cooperation. A key outcome of the meeting was the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between IT Park Uzbekistan and the Karaganda Cloud Computing Industrial Park. The document provides for cooperation in the fields of artificial intelligence, startup acceleration, and knowledge exchange.

Additionally, the Chinese side invited IT Park Uzbekistan to participate in the SCO digital training, which will take place in Karaganda from April 21 to 25, 2025. As part of the "SCO Digital Tree" program, Uzbek specialists will be able to enhance their skills in advanced digital technologies.

Both sides expressed interest in implementing the signed memorandum and strengthening partnership ties between Uzbekistan and China in the IT sector. IT Park Uzbekistan confirmed its readiness to support the entry of Chinese technology companies into international markets through Uzbekistan, as well as to develop IT specialist training programs.

Bilateral cooperation will open up new opportunities for young IT talents in Uzbekistan — from participation in international projects to internships and training with leading specialists. This will contribute to unlocking the potential of local personnel, creating new jobs, and forming a competitive generation of professionals on a global level.
