The event, which will bring together companies, investors, thought leaders and policy makers, will explore opportunities in IT outsourcing and provide access to some of the region’s most exciting investment opportunities and potential partners.
The development of Uzbekistan’s IT and BPO sector has been led by IT Park, a regional hub that offers investors unique privileges to enter the market and access the country’s natural advantages. The total volume of services exported by IT Park residents of Uzbekistan came to $145.3 in the first 6 months of 2023. This is up from a total $140.9 million in 2022.

A “Virtual Office” service also enables companies to work remotely, saving on physical office space rent and maintenance costs while minimizing tax risks.
