Emerging Europe: The last word: Showcasing Uzbekistan’s IT potential

In recent years, Uzbekistan has strategically positioned itself as a key player in the regional IT landscape, a move that has garnered considerable attention from the public. 

Earlier, we presented articles from international media covering the outcomes of the "ICTWEEK  Uzbekistan - 2023” held in October this year.

Andrew Wrobel, managing partner at Emerging Europe, recently shared his impressions after attending a conference in the UK. The event focused on the theme "Uzbekistan - the new outsourcing hub in Central Asia," capturing the attention of both local and international IT experts.

The article provides a comprehensive overview of the potential within Uzbekistan's burgeoning IT sector and its efforts to attract UK buyers and investors. 

Wrobel emphasizes Uzbekistan's historical roots in software development, dating back to the 1980s, with a significant boost after gaining independence. The government's role as a major buyer of software solutions post-independence laid the foundation for the sector's development, as noted by Abdukarim Kadirov from Realsoft. 

The article underlines the lower costs in Uzbekistan as a factor attracting companies, while also spotlighting the government's active engagement in fostering the IT sector. 

The commentary from Rohitashwa Aggarwal of Everest Group adds a global perspective, emphasizing the need to sustain the positive factors of talent, hunger, and investment in emerging locations like Uzbekistan.

“When we look at firms operating in the UK, about a quarter make use of IT talent based in the UK, another quarter is based in Europe, another quarter in India, and the fourth quarter is based throughout the rest of the world,” he said.  

The article effectively communicates the opportunities and challenges within Uzbekistan's IT sector, making a compelling case for increased collaboration and investment. It successfully navigates through historical context, current initiatives, and future aspirations, providing a well-rounded understanding of the landscape.
