Eurasia’s digital potential discussed at forum in Uzbekistan

The development of digital technologies in Eurasia was the focus of an international forum in Uzbekistan. Over two days, 500 delegates, including leading experts and representatives of major global companies, gathered in Tashkent to discuss the prospects and opportunities of artificial intelligence, 5G and next-generation networks, digital innovation, and the overall advancement of the telecommunications industry. The forum also addressed the role of data centers in ensuring stable and secure connectivity, as well as new digital solutions and partnership opportunities. Experts exchanged ideas, technologies, and experiences, noting that such collaboration contributes to accelerating digital transformation across the region.

«In recent years, there has been significant growth in mobile internet coverage, both in quality and accessibility. This has, in turn, fueled the rapid development of the IT sector and an increase in the number of specialists in the field. Our goal is to attract international remote services to the country, giving the younger generation access to high-income professions. Hosting events like GSMA 360 helps strengthen the country’s position as a regional IT hub,» noted Minister of Digital Technologies of Uzbekistan Sherzod Shermatov.

«The issues to be discussed here at the meeting of the heads of communications administrations of the Regional Commonwealth in the field of Communications (RCC) are clearly aimed at improving the sector across all countries of the region. Topics under consideration include information security, the use of satellite orbits and non-geostationary satellites, as well as frequency allocation within the countries of our region,» said Sa’dullo Isfandiyori, Head of the Communications Service under the Government of Tajikistan.

The speakers are confident that holding the international forum on digital technologies will give impetus to the signing of new international agreements, boost investment interest, and promote the development of IT education and the high-tech sector.
