IT Park Uzbekistan

What IT Park Uzbekistan does

IT Park Uzbekistan is a government-backed technology park and innovation ecosystem operating under the Ministry of Digital Technologies of the Republic of Uzbekistan, established in 2017 under Presidential Decree UP-5099 and headquartered in Tashkent. The organization serves as the central hub for Uzbekistan's IT sector, providing tax-incentivized residency (0% corporate tax, social tax, property/land tax, and VAT for member companies versus 4-12% corporate tax and 12% VAT for non-residents), company registration through a One Stop Shop service that has facilitated the establishment of over 230 companies from 30+ countries, and a specialized IT Visa program granting three-year residency without work permits. It operates 14 domestic branches across Uzbekistan, seven overseas offices in the USA, Germany, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, Japan, and China, and supports 3,300+ registered member companies with 534 IT centers and 385 BPO companies nationwide.

The organization's core technology stack is not a single product but a portfolio of interconnected programs and services: the One Stop Shop online portal (my.it-park.uz) for company registration (1-3 working days setup), the Million Uzbek Coders training program (2.5M registrations, 1.7M graduates across software development, AI, cloud, big data, soft skills, and IT management), Zero Risk Program (12 months free office space, equipment, and up to 15% payroll subsidy for regional setups), Local2Global export support (up to 50% reimbursement for international business trips), and IT Park Ventures (a $10M venture fund with a portfolio of ~70 startups across 15+ countries). Business model combines state budget allocation with membership/registration fees and program-specific revenue (e.g., Bonus System consultant commissions of $270/workplace created, FDI Consultant Programme fixed monthly payments). Go-to-market is multi-channel: enterprise field sales via overseas offices, event-driven recruitment through 700+ annual events including the Global Business Services Forum and Central Eurasian Venture Forum (800+ participants), direct-to-consumer engagement via IT Visa and diaspora programs, and self-serve online applications. The platform has demonstrated exponential scaling, with export volume up 573x from 2017 to 2024, membership up 18x, and Uzbekistan's startup ecosystem reaching a $3.9B valuation and entering the Global Top 100 (StartupBlink) for the first time.

The tax incentive structure (0% corporate tax, 0% social tax, 0% VAT for residents) serves as the primary value exchange rather than direct revenue collection.

Direct peers

• Software Technology Parks of India (STPI): India's government-run STPI scheme is the closest global analogue: statutory tax holidays and dedicated infrastructure for IT/ITeS exports. STPI's scale (decades of operation, thousands of registered units) makes it the benchmark for IT Park Uzbekistan's resident-company and export-growth model.
• Dubai Internet City: Government-owned free zone in the UAE offering tax-free residency and turnkey office infrastructure to attract IT, BPO, and creative-services multinationals. Mirrors IT Park Uzbekistan's combination of 0% tax, One-Stop-Shop setup, and overseas-marketing offices targeting the same FDI pool.
• Astana Hub International Technopark: Kazakhstan's flagship government-backed IT hub with comparable tax incentives, venture arm, international offices, and accelerator programs. Direct regional competitor for talent, FDI, and Central Asian venture deal flow.
• High-Tech Park Kyrgyzstan: Government-run IT park in Kyrgyzstan offering zero-tax IT residency, an analogue regulator, and an innovation push. Direct regional peer for Central Asian tax-incentive competition and nearshoring share.
• IT Valley Turkey (Teknopark Istanbul): Turkey's national network of technoparks providing R&D tax incentives, university-linked infrastructure, and venture support. Comparable model of national-state-sponsored tech zones aimed at export-oriented software and BPO.

Regional players

• Technopolis (Morocco): Government-backed Moroccan offshoring hub that, like IT Park Uzbekistan, targets European nearshore IT services with cost-arbitrage positioning. Operates under different jurisdiction (Africa) but pursues an analogous free-zone IT/ITES value proposition.
• Bahrain FinTech Bay / Bahrain Technology Companies Society: MENA-based government-supported technology and fintech acceleration hub offering regulatory sandboxes and regional-market access. Comparable Middle East outreach model to IT Park's GCC (Saudi Arabia) office and venture partnerships.

Broad incumbents

• JTC Corporation: Singapore's government industrial-estate and infrastructure operator at portfolio scale. A broader incumbent reference point for the long-run operating model of state-owned technology/industrial precincts supporting export industries.
• NASSCOM: India's IT/ITES industry trade body functioning as an ecosystem enabler — international marketing, capability development, policy advocacy. Comparable broader-incumbent role for IT-export industry positioning, even though NASSCOM is not a tech park operator.
• Enterprise Singapore: Singapore's statutory board for enterprise development with global outreach programs for local SMEs and startups. Explicitly engaged as an Enterprise Uzbekistan counterpart and benchmarked for IT Park's startup export and international-market programs.
