IT Park Uzbekistan Promotes Tech Sector at London Tech Week

Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.uz) — A delegation from IT Park Uzbekistan took part in events held during London Tech Week in the United Kingdom.

The visit was aimed at integrating Uzbekistan into the global technology ecosystem, promoting the country as a regional outsourcing hub and establishing direct links between Uzbek technology companies and British businesses.

A key event of the program was the “Digital Uzbekistan” session, which brought together around 80 delegates, including representatives of the Bank of England, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), Mastercard, 500 Global and other major international financial and technology institutions.

During the session, leading Uzbek companies, including Datox, KPI, Radiant Energy, Fido Studio, Geomotive, Moneff and Deepen, presented their products and export capabilities. Following the meetings, several participants began negotiations on attracting venture investment and securing export contracts.

As part of efforts to expand international outreach, IT Park Uzbekistan also held talks with Schwarz Group of Germany.

The parties discussed mechanisms for using the STACKIT cloud infrastructure. According to the participants, the partnership will enable Uzbek IT companies to access European Union markets with fewer regulatory barriers through IT Park’s existing representative office in Germany.

Schwarz Group, for its part, confirmed its readiness to promote promising technology solutions from Uzbekistan through its European partner networks.

The visit also included the “Compatriots Meetup,” which brought together Uzbek professionals working at the British offices of Citibank, Bloomberg, Sega and other companies. The event focused on engaging the Uzbek diaspora in the development of the country’s digital ecosystem.

One practical outcome of the discussions was the decision by the founders of the technology startups StudyIn and Papyrio to establish back-office operations in Uzbekistan, highlighting the country’s growing attractiveness as a destination for investment in the IT sector.
