Uzbekistan’s IT ecosystem through the eyes of AUIC: Where the opportunities lie

Digital transformation is one of the key drivers of Uzbekistan’s economy. Over the past few years, the country has evolved from local initiatives to building a full-fledged IT ecosystem focused on exports, startup culture, and international partnerships.

📊 According to IT Park, in 2023, residents exported over $340 million worth of IT services — 2.4 times more than in 2022 ($140 million). This trend continued into 2024, with growing international demand for business process outsourcing (BPO), fintech solutions, and SaaS platforms.

Today, IT sector development is no longer just a trend — it’s part of a national strategy aimed at export growth, technological independence, and building a digital economy.

📌 BPO

Business process outsourcing remains one of the most dynamic export directions in IT. In 2023, IT Park residents exported $344 million in services, with 20% ($69 million) coming from BPO services.

📌 Startups

A venture ecosystem is taking shape — accelerators, grants, and government support are strengthening the position of startups in EdTech, MedTech, and GovTech aimed at international markets. From 2022 to 2023, local startups attracted $7.1 million in venture capital.

📌 Fintech

The fintech market continues to show steady growth. The rise of e-commerce and digital banking is driving demand for local solutions and attracting foreign investor interest. Of the $7.1 million invested in startups, 61% went to fintech companies.
