Women in Tech Uzbekistan received the Youth Engagement Award at a global summit in Japan

The delegation of Women in Tech Uzbekistan, led by Kamola Sobirova, Advisor to the Minister of Digital Technologies of Uzbekistan, represented the country at the Women in Tech Global Summit 2025 in Osaka. The event was attended by more than 400 representatives from 50 countries, marking a significant step in strengthening Uzbekistan's position on the global technology stage.

The country's participation in the summit included several key events:
— Visiting the Uzbekistan Pavilion on the World Expo 2025 Innovation Trail, alongside pavilions from the United States, Germany, France, and major technology companies
— Signing the Osaka Protocol on Gender Equality in the Digital Age
— Recognition of Uzbekistan's achievements in IT inclusion, confirmed by the presentation of the Youth Engagement Award to the Women in Tech Uzbekistan team.

A key highlight was the presentation of Uzbekistan on the Innovation Trail — the official route for cutting-edge technologies. More than 100 participants from 15 countries visited the pavilion to learn about the country's technological development and cultural heritage.

Uzbekistan signed the Osaka Protocol, reaffirming its readiness to implement inclusive innovations and ensure equal opportunities for women in IT. The Ministry of Digital Technologies, together with IT Park Uzbekistan, is actively implementing programs to develop digital skills and support startups, creating conditions for the engagement of women in the technology sector.

Uzbekistan's women's tech community received the Youth Engagement Award for its rapid development and creation of opportunities for future leaders in IT. This reflects the country's commitment to supporting young talents as the foundation for long-term digital development.

The delegation included members of Women in Tech Uzbekistan — Anna Ambrozevich, Natalya Ni, Anna Surkova, and Kamila Damionova, a laureate of the CCA Awards 2024 — as well as delegates Sabina Kasimova, Zilola Abdukakhharova, Elena Ten, and Shukrona Alisheva.
Volunteers who supported the organization of the event also participated in the summit — Nodira Tillyaeva and Dilyokhon Akramjonova.

Discussions on international partnerships and initiatives strengthened the country's role as an important platform for global cooperation in the field of gender equality and IT.

Participation in the summit was made possible with the support of IT Park Uzbekistan, which promotes the country's IT ecosystem on a global scale.
