The geographical distribution of international investors includes the United States, Japan, Canada, France, Norway, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, New Zealand, Spain, and Italy. Collectively, the new member companies intend to create 1,639 new jobs within their first year of operation, thereby contributing to the growth of Uzbekistan’s high-tech sector and the development of a skilled workforce.
In Uzbekistan’s regions, 49 export-oriented companies received member status, including 25 with foreign capital. According to their business plans, these regional companies aim to create over 500 new jobs and deliver IT service exports exceeding $9 million.
