Japan is taking the lead in Uzbekistan's digital transformation by increasing investments and expanding IT cooperation.
Japan intends to strengthen its presence in Uzbekistan's IT sector by transforming the country into one of the region's key digital hubs. According to the advisor to the Minister of Digital Technologies of Uzbekistan, Sakurai Akihiro, the number of Japanese IT Park Uzbekistan resident companies has already reached 10, and half of them export IT services to Japan.
"Japanese investors are not just developing business in Uzbekistan - they are creating jobs and sharing their experience," he noted. In 2024 alone, Japanese IT Park residents created 87 new jobs, and this figure will continue to grow.
One of the key aspects of cooperation is the training of highly qualified IT specialists. Japan is facing a shortage of personnel: according to the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI), the country will need 790,000 IT specialists by 2030. Uzbekistan can play an important role in filling this gap.
Japan considers Uzbekistan an important part of its long-term strategy. In the coming years, it is planned to create new IT hubs, research centers, and double the number of IT Park residents.
"We are already negotiating with Japanese businesses, academic community, and financial institutions about large-scale investments. In the coming years, we expect a significant increase in the volume of IT service exports from Uzbekistan to Japan," Sakurai Akihiro emphasized.
Thus, the partnership between the two countries is reaching a new level, promising a transformation of Uzbekistan's IT landscape and the expansion of Japanese technological influence in Central Asia.
