Representatives of GUi noted that they actively help technology companies enter foreign markets and consider Uzbekistan a promising direction for implementing joint technology projects. As a result of the meeting, the parties confirmed their intention to strengthen cooperation and facilitate the expansion of Chinese companies into the Central Asian market.

IT Park Uzbekistan expressed readiness to support such projects by providing infrastructure, consultations, and assistance within existing programs.

According to the participants, this will contribute to accelerating the development of Uzbekistan's IT market, attracting new investments, and strengthening the country's position as a regional hub for technology and innovation.
