During the meeting, the Director of IT Park Farhod Ibragimov announced a plan of measures on creating the incubation centers in the universities of Uzbekistan and the implementation of each task.

At the end of the meeting, the rectors of the universities promised Majidov Inom to collaborate with IT Park and begin joint work on creating incubation centers.

The rectors and universities representatives had a chance to ask questions to Farhod Ibragimov about the activities of IT Park and converse a little on the theme of IT.

It is worth noting that incubation centers are implemented on the basis of the decrees of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan No. DP-4851 “On measures to further improve the education system in the field of information technology, development, and integration of scientific research with the IT Industry”,  PP-4699 “On measures for the widespread introduction of the digital economy and electronic government” as well as on the basis of the PCM No. 794 “On measures to develop a digitalization system in the agro-industrial complex and agriculture of the Republic of Uzbekistan”.

It should be noted that the main goal of creating incubation centers at higher educational institutions is to increase the quality and number of innovative projects created among talented youth. The incubation center, in turn, will create favorable conditions for students for the emergence of effective activities of small innovative projects that implement original scientific and technical ideas.
