Construction of a new IT Park has started in Samarkand

A project aimed at establishing a new IT infrastructure facility—an incubation complex for IT companies and startups—has been officially initiated in Samarkand. The commencement of construction was celebrated with a special event that included representatives from regional authorities, IT Park Uzbekistan, and the international contractor.

The ceremony featured notable attendees such as Adiz Boboyev, Hokim of Samarkand Region; Jamshid Egamberdiyev, Advisor to the Minister of Digital Technologies; Farhod Ibragimov, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of IT Park Uzbekistan; and Pang Shengjian, the General Director of the Chinese firm Shanghai Construction Group in Uzbekistan, who represented the project's general contractor, along with other industry stakeholders.

During the event, it was emphasized that the construction of the IT Park is intended to enhance the region’s digital economy, foster the integration of innovative technologies across diverse sectors, and cultivate skilled professionals in the information technology field. The new complex is anticipated to create an environment conducive to supporting startup initiatives, housing IT companies, and advancing the professional skills of young specialists.

The IT incubation center will be constructed on a site of approximately one hectare. The project is being executed by Shanghai Construction Group under the EPC+F model, which encompasses the entire work cycle—design, procurement, construction, and financing. All phases of implementation will adhere to national legislation and international engineering standards, ensuring compliance with safety and quality requirements.

This initiative is part of the “Digital Uzbekistan – 2030” strategy and aims to establish a sustainable digital infrastructure in the regions. The new IT Park will act as a hub for technology companies, startups, and investors, while also fostering the development of innovative directions and international collaboration, particularly between Uzbekistan and China in the digital economy sector.

The project in Samarkand enhances IT Park Uzbekistan’s regional network, bolsters its infrastructure capabilities, and creates additional opportunities for the growth of IT companies, talent development, and job creation. This will enable IT Park Uzbekistan to continuously advance the country's technology ecosystem and support regional projects in scaling to both national and international levels.
