IT Park Uzbekistan continues to strengthen Uzbekistan's position as a global IT destination

The first half of 2026 marked another period of rapid growth for IT Park Uzbekistan, reflecting the increasing confidence of international investors and technology companies in the country's digital ecosystem.

During January-June 2026:

• 608 export-oriented companies joined the IT Park ecosystem, representing a 178% increase compared to the same period last year.
• 297 companies with foreign capital became IT Park members, marking a 154% year-on-year growth.
• New foreign companies plan to create more than 3,000 new jobs across the country.

A particularly encouraging trend is the growing interest in Uzbekistan's regions. Since the beginning of the year, 138 foreign-owned companies established operations outside Tashkent, while 257 new export-oriented companies were registered in regional areas. This demonstrates that international businesses increasingly recognize the strong talent pool and investment potential available across the country-not only in the capital.

The highest interest from foreign investors was noted in the Surkhandarya region (34), Tashkent region (31), Namangan region (17), and Samarkand region (15); this reflects the expanding geography of Uzbekistan's digital economy.

IT Park also continues to broaden its international footprint. Today, the ecosystem unites companies from 75 countries worldwide, with the largest inflow of new foreign residents coming from the United States (30), China (12), Türkiye (10), and Japan (6). Particularly impressive growth was recorded among companies from South Korea, which recorded a sixfold increase, while the United States and China grew threefold and twofold, respectively.

The ecosystem itself is becoming increasingly diversified. During the first six months of 2026:

• 76% of new residents operate in IT services;
• 19% specialize in business process and knowledge process outsourcing (BPO/KPO);
• 4% focus on Game Development and Design.

This balanced growth reflects the emergence of a mature, multi-sector technology ecosystem capable of supporting both software development and global business services.

On average, 100 new export-oriented companies and 50 foreign companies obtained IT Park residency every month, underlining Uzbekistan's growing reputation as one of the region's most attractive destinations for international technology businesses.

As of today, 1,095 companies with foreign capital are operating as IT Park residents in Uzbekistan, further reinforcing the country's transformation into a regional hub for innovation, exports, and global technology investment.
