New-Generation Supercomputer to Be Installed at INHA University
Technology
Uzbekistan is making a strong push toward high technology: by mid-2026, a new HPC cluster — known as a “budget supercomputer” — will be delivered to INHA University in Tashkent to support the country’s artificial intelligence (AI) initiatives.
By June 1, 2026, the Ministry of Digital Technologies of Uzbekistan will procure a high-performance computing (HPC) cluster and large-scale server systems for INHA University. The new infrastructure is part of the national AI development plan for 2025–2026.
The system will include a High-Performance Computing cluster — a network of servers equipped with powerful GPUs (graphics processing units), designed for parallel processing, large-scale data handling, and AI model training. While not a full-scale supercomputer, such clusters are often referred to as "budget supercomputers" due to their efficiency and scalability at lower cost.
The package will also include data storage and analytics servers. According to Kun.uz sources, the equipment could be delivered and presented in Uzbekistan as early as autumn 2025.
The project is funded by the Reconstruction and Development Fund, which has allocated the necessary resources to the Ministry of Digital Technologies. The exact cost and the name of the supplier have not been disclosed. However, publicly available data suggests that flexible HPC systems can range in cost from $20,000 to $2 million, depending on configuration.
This new computing hub is set to become the technological core of Uzbekistan’s AI strategy, strengthening the country’s capabilities in digital transformation, research, and talent development.
