Uzbekistan as a Tech Operations Hub: The Numbers, Benefits, and Why It Works

Relocating business operations to another country can be a complex process. A new jurisdiction, unfamiliar regulations, and concerns about maintaining control over teams and workflows often create additional challenges. Uzbekistan helps businesses overcome many of these obstacles. In this article, we explore why more than 1,000 tech companies have chosen the country as a destination for growth and expansion.

Why Do Companies Choose Uzbekistan?

For businesses from the CIS region, adapting to Uzbekistan is often straightforward. The business culture is familiar, the working environment is easy to adapt to, and the legal framework is clear enough that companies do not need to spend months learning how the system works.

As a result, teams integrate into operations more quickly, while founders can focus on growing their business instead of spending their first months navigating administrative processes.

Another major advantage is the speed of setup. IT Park provides support not only with company registration but also with ready-to-use infrastructure, including office space, furniture, equipment, and fully connected utilities.

All key procedures can be handled through a single point of contact — the One Stop Shop. Company registration, tax matters, banking procedures, and documentation can all be managed without visiting multiple government offices or spending valuable time on bureaucracy. Businesses are supported by a team that has already guided hundreds of companies through the process and understands where challenges typically arise.

For teams relocating with their families, the Softlanding Program provides assistance with housing, documentation, and post-relocation adaptation, helping employees settle in more quickly and focus on their work.

Zero Risk Program: Launch Without Cash Flow Gaps

When relocating a business, a significant amount of time and resources is often spent on operational setup, including office space, equipment, workstations, and team onboarding. The Zero Risk Program helps companies move through this stage much faster.

Businesses receive fully equipped office space with furniture, equipment, and IT infrastructure, allowing them to begin operations almost immediately after launch. The program also covers part of the costs associated with hiring and training employees. In addition, companies can receive compensation of up to 15% of payroll costs related to Uzbek employees.

This enables businesses to build teams more quickly and reach full operational capacity in the country faster.

Tax Benefits for IT Park Residents

IT Park residents benefit from some of the most attractive tax conditions for tech businesses in the region:

• 0% corporate income tax

• 0% VAT

• 0% social tax

Employees also benefit from a reduced personal income tax rate of 7.5%, which is significantly lower than in many European countries.

As a result, companies can allocate more resources to team development and business growth instead of carrying a heavy tax burden.

Another important advantage is the relatively low cost of living and operational expenses. Businesses spend less on recruitment, team maintenance, and day-to-day operations while still benefiting from a comfortable environment for both work and life.

IT Visa and Benefits for Teams

Uzbekistan offers a three-year IT Visa for founders, investors, and IT professionals.

The visa allows holders to live and work in the country without obtaining a separate work permit, and its benefits also extend to immediate family members.

In addition, IT Visa holders have access to healthcare and education under the same conditions as Uzbek citizens. They are also allowed to purchase real estate without minimum investment requirements.

Uzbekistan as a Platform for International Growth

For many companies, relocating to Uzbekistan is no longer just about moving operations. Increasingly, businesses view the country as a strategic base for international expansion.

The local IT and BPO sectors are growing rapidly. More companies are establishing regional offices and delivery centers to serve clients across Europe, the CIS, Asia, and North America. Uzbekistan’s location between European and Asian markets makes it an attractive hub for managing operations across multiple regions.

IT Park supports companies not only during the relocation process but also throughout their growth journey by helping with talent acquisition, business development, networking opportunities, and international expansion.

A well-developed infrastructure and a clear support system are already in place for foreign businesses, allowing companies to scale efficiently without unnecessary bureaucracy.
