• IT Park Uzbekistan: Uzbekistan's flagship government-backed technology park offering office space, incubation, and tax incentives to tech companies. Operates in the same Uzbek market as U-ENTER and competes for similar enterprise and startup clients, but at significantly larger scale.
• Tech4Start (Uzbekistan): Uzbek startup support initiative focused on early-stage founders, similar to U-ENTER's incubation and acceleration programmes. Operates in the same market and competes for the same startup pipeline.

Direct peers
