IT Park Uzbekistan and Cyberport Expand Cooperation in Technology and Startup Support

The parties explored ways to deepen collaboration between IT Park Uzbekistan and Hong Kong Cyberport Management Company Limited, emphasizing support for technology companies and startups, easing market entry, and enhancing interaction between the two ecosystems.

A central topic was the advancement of market access and soft-landing solutions. The discussion centered on aiding IT Park members in entering the Hong Kong market and establishing favorable conditions for Cyberport technology companies and startups seeking to operate in Uzbekistan.

Special focus was given to collaboration in AI, R&D, and digital technologies. The parties also examined possibilities for direct engagement between startups and investors, including the participation of IT Park Uzbekistan representatives in Cyberport programs and the Cyberport Venture & Capital Forum (CVCF).

Practical cooperation is already underway. In July, the two sides held a joint roundtable, and in August, a webinar was conducted where Cyberport representatives were introduced to the IT Park Uzbekistan ecosystem and the ICT WEEK Uzbekistan 2026 program. During the current ICT WEEK, five Cyberport startups are taking part.

This cooperation is grounded in a Memorandum of Understanding signed between IT Park Uzbekistan and Cyberport in June 2026 during the visit of John Lee Ka-chiu, Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, to Uzbekistan.

Cyberport is one of Hong Kong’s leading digital technology hubs, hosting over 2,300 companies. Its ecosystem is focused on AI, fintech, Web3, cybersecurity, smart living, and digital entertainment, offering startups opportunities for incubation, acceleration, fundraising, and international market expansion.

After the meeting, the parties reiterated their commitment to continue hub-to-hub cooperation, including organizing business missions, supporting mutual market entry between Uzbekistan and Hong Kong, and developing shared opportunities for startups and technology companies.
