The delegation included Sherzod Shermatov, Minister of Digital Technologies, Farhod Ibragimov, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of IT Park Uzbekistan, and Abdulkhad Kuchkarov, CEO of IT Park Uzbekistan.

The event was attended by 28 representatives from 19 leading international companies, including Google, Meta Platforms, Oracle, Mastercard, and others.

Main discussion topics:
— data localization and protection
— enhancing the investment attractiveness of Uzbekistan
— establishing a consultative group at the Ministry of Digital Technologies of Uzbekistan with the participation of U.S. business representatives
— promoting the "Enterprise Uzbekistan" initiative — a mechanism for attracting major international IT companies.

Uzbekistan has already achieved significant progress in building a digital ecosystem: regional branches of IT Park have been opened, favorable conditions for business are being implemented, and the activities of international companies in the market are developing.

The next stage involves attracting global technology leaders, which will require the implementation of international standards for infrastructure, legislation, and information security.

According to representatives of IT Park, the country is positioning itself as a promising technological hub of Eurasia, developing investments, IT services exports, and infrastructure.
