New perspectives for cooperation with EPAM Systems

The delegation of the Ministry of Digital Technologies of the Republic of Uzbekistan, led by Minister Sherzod Shermatov, along with Farhod Ibragimov, General Director of IT Park, is on a working visit to the United States.

The purpose of the visit is to strengthen cooperation with international organizations and companies, as well as to attract foreign companies to Uzbekistan, increase IT exports, create new jobs, and actively support the expansion of Uzbek companies into foreign markets.

Given that EPAM is the largest IT education company in the world, the minister invited representatives of the company to expand their educational activities in Uzbekistan. He emphasized the need for the company's contribution to achieving the goal of training 65,000 IT specialists, which the country will need next year. In particular, the need to focus on training personnel in areas specializing in artificial intelligence was highlighted. Opportunities for attracting funding from the World Bank and the IMF for this project were discussed.

At the conclusion of the meeting, EPAM representatives noted that they would discuss the proposed ideas with the company's senior management regarding timelines and a more detailed assessment of the resources required for their implementation. It was decided to discuss subsequent meetings in working groups on both sides.
