🌍 For the first time in Central Asia: Web Summit Spotlight comes to Tashkent!

On September 27, 2025, Uzbekistan will host a historic event — Web Summit Spotlight — one of the world’s most influential technology gatherings, arriving in our region for the very first time.

Organized by IT Park Uzbekistan and the Ministry of Digital Technologies, in partnership with Web Summit, this marks a new chapter for Central Asia on the global innovation map.

Every year, Web Summit in Lisbon brings together over 70,000 founders, global CEOs, investors, and researchers shaping the future of technology. Now, Tashkent joins the Web Summit ecosystem alongside Lisbon, Rio, Vancouver, Hong Kong, and Doha — opening the door to direct access to global networking, capital, and knowledge.

Spotlight: Uzbekistan will be a bridge between our fast-growing local tech ecosystem and international markets. On stage, global experts, venture funds, and entrepreneurs will discuss the future of innovation and launch new partnerships.

Among the speakers: leaders from Plug and Play Tech Center, StartupBlink, GB Ventures, Golden Gate Ventures, Google for Startups, EndeavorXR, and many others.

In 2025, Uzbekistan reached a historic milestone — entering the Top 100 of the Global Startup Ecosystem Index by StartupBlink for the first time. Our country demonstrated record growth, becoming the fastest-growing startup hub in Central Asia and one of the global frontrunners. This achievement is further confirmed by Startup Genome, which also recognizes Uzbekistan as the fastest-growing startup ecosystem in the region.

🚀Hosting Web Summit Spotlight in Tashkent will catalyze new investments, joint ventures, and global opportunities for our startups. After the keynotes and panels, founders will also gain access to the Investor’s Room — a unique chance to meet venture funds 1:1, pitch their projects, and explore new opportunities for growth.

Central Asia is expanding collaboration in the digital area!

Thanks to the political will of the Leaders of Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan, our ministries and IT Parks are expanding collaboration in the creation of new opportunities for our tech companies and youth.

Over 100 startups from the region are participating in global events and acceleration programs. Initiatives like Central Asian Innovation Hubs, Khan Tengri Innovation Hub in Shanghai, and Tumar Innovation Hub at GITEX Dubai are connecting our ecosystem across borders.

While each country has its own strengths, our greatest potential emerges when we work together as a united Central Asian region.

Both presidents consistently emphasize the importance of strong, trust-based relations across Central Asia, reinforcing this shared vision.

We are not building the fences, we are building the bridges!

Grand Opening

On the eve of Eid al-Fitr, President Shavkat Mirziyoyev officially opened the Islamic Civilization Centre - a symbol of our identity, heritage, and vision for the future.

Recognized by UNESCO and home to the 7th-century Uthman Quran, it is ranked among the top 6 most anticipated museum openings worldwide.

Uzbekistan has always been a land of talent, from Al-Khwarizmi, Ibn Sina, Al-Biruni, and Ulugh Beg to a new generation shaping the future.

With 37M+ people, Uzbekistan is rapidly becoming a hub for IT outsourcing and startups.

Uzbekistan is a friendly and hospitable country, where during celebrations, dance floors bring together people of different nationalities.

This holiday season, we enjoy four days of celebration, a time for unity, joy, and connection.

Wishing you wonderful holidays, and to our guests in the capital - enjoy the warmth of Uzbekistan, as warm as the hearts of its people.

Looking for a vibrant startup ecosystem with young and growing talent? Uzbekistan is the place to look for!

The digital transformation of Uzbekistan is no longer a future goal - it is our current reality. Guided by the strategic vision of President Shavkat Mirziyoyev, we have successfully pivoted from a traditional economic model to becoming a vibrant global digital hub.

Our progress is now measurable on the world stage. According to the Global Startup Ecosystem Index 2025, Uzbekistan officially ranks among the top 100 countries for startup ecosystem development. This achievement is the result of a deliberate strategy, presidential support, and a generation of entrepreneurs hungry for knowledge and scale.

Venture capital and acceleration are the catalysts of our growth. Our partnership with Plug and Play, which began in 2023, reached a new high point on May 6 at the Turkistan Concert Hall.

The Plug and Play Uzbekistan Expo was more than just an event, it was a demonstration of our ecosystem’s maturity. We brought together over 30 startups from Central Asia, the Caucasus, and Europe presenting market-ready solutions in Enterprise AI, Fintech, HealthTech, and the Creative Economy - the very pillars of our tech-driven future.

By attracting international capital and talent, we are ensuring that our entrepreneurs don't just participate in the global race - they lead it. The success of this Expo confirms that Uzbekistan is a competitive, open, and dynamic environment for innovation.

Thank you to our partners and everyone who contributed to making this vision a reality.

Uzbekistan is open for innovation and parthership. We aren't just building infrastructure, we are building the future together.

Before, we could count the events on developing the startup ecosystem on one hand. Now the calendar is overflowing. And that itself is already a win.

But the most satisfying moment is when you stop counting events and start seeing real results. Numbers that don’t lie. A boost that shows our true power, and that power is youth.

Uzbekistan has officially become the fastest-growing startup ecosystem in the world.

In the latest StartupBlink Global Index, we climbed 19 places to rank 79th globally, driven by a record 227% market expansion and earning the title of “Country of the Year.”

Tashkent alone surged 121 places to become the #1 hub in all of Central Asia. Samarkand and Fergana entered the global top 1,000 for the first time. We now claim 10 of the top 13 ranked cities in Central Asia.

Behind these numbers:
→ $400M+ attracted since 2020
→ 20+ active VCs with $200M+ in combined capital
→ 930% growth in Uzbek tech companies going global
→ 100+ domestic companies now operating overseas
→ First major ecosystem exit: BILLZ at $20M valuation
→ IT Park Phase 2 breaking ground, a 12MW data center with Saudi DataVolt, and a 500MW pipeline ahead
→ The $50M Digital Startups Program open to founders worldwide

This isn’t luck. This is a strategy meeting ambition — and a generation that refused to wait.

I am genuinely delighted to share this and to congratulate every founder, every investor, every mentor and every young builder who is riding this wave. You built this.
