In Uzbekistan, 1 million young people will be trained annually in robotics and game development.

Uzbekistan aims to train 5.5 million young people in digital skills by 2030 and create an additional 500,000 jobs in the digital economy. The goal of creating 300,000 jobs in the IT sector, set for 2030, was already achieved in 2026. Authorities now plan to expand employment through new areas of the digital economy.

Each year, it is planned to train 1 million young people in robotics, computer game development, startup creation, and other promising fields. To this end, online platforms and short-term courses will be developed, national trainers will be prepared, and cooperation between universities and private training centers will be expanded.

Universities intend to expand the training of specialists in artificial intelligence, microchip design, unmanned technologies, game development, microelectronics, and the Internet of Things. Plans also include improving the qualifications of computer science teachers in the field of AI and creating centers for training iOS developers.

To facilitate youth employment, the "Digital Youth" platform will be developed. It will consolidate information on education, professional skills, language proficiency, and user certificates, as well as help match job vacancies and track employment.

Special attention will be paid to financing digital education. In 2025, $22 million in grants were attracted for these purposes. Authorities have set a task to increase the volume of grants to $60 million by the end of 2026 and to $100 million by 2030. Half of the grant funds attracted in 2026 will be directed to digital education, and the remainder will be used for professional development, the creation of regional educational centers, and equipping them with equipment.
