During the Global Business Services Forum 2026 (GBSF 2026), Azamat Karamatov, CEO of IT Park Uzbekistan, met with a delegation from the High Technology Park of the Kyrgyz Republic (HTP Kyrgyzstan), led by its Director, Azis Abakirov. At the beginning of the meeting, Azis Abakirov congratulated IT Park Uzbekistan on its 7th anniversary, commending the park's achievements and its significant contribution to the development of the technology ecosystem in Uzbekistan and across Central Asia.

The parties discussed opportunities for collaboration in developing regional innovation ecosystems, supporting technology hubs beyond capital cities, nurturing highly skilled talent, and attracting investment into high-tech projects.

The discussion also focused on joint efforts to attract international technology companies, investors, and strategic partners, while promoting Central Asia as an emerging destination for IT business and global business services.
