Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- In 2020, the celebration of World Creative and Innovation Day coincided with a pandemic. In such conditions, the implementation of the tasks set by the President of Uzbekistan in the field of innovative development will be carried out using new methods and solutions, based on the current situation.

“The Ministry of Innovation Development and representatives of the scientific community of Uzbekistan are ready to prevent processes associated with the pandemic, to analyze the current situation in depth, forecast future threats and problems, and develop clear plans and measures to address them,” he said. - Projects received as part of startup and application competitions are aimed at effectively combating the COVID-19 coronavirus in the country, preventing the spread of the disease, overcoming the challenges of the pandemic and mitigating its effects.

In turn, one should not forget that the main goal of the Strategy for Innovative Development of the Republic of Uzbekistan for 2019-2021 is the development of human capital aimed at ensuring the level of competitiveness and innovative development of the country in the international arena.

The creation of a distance learning system for schoolchildren and students during the quarantine period, the organization of online conferences and webinars for our scientists and researchers are an example of the special attention and care that the state pays to the development of human capital.

The creative processes begun in our country continue on the same scale. I wish that we all come out of this period of testing for the whole world even more educated, proactive and creative!
