Revenue is generated primarily through state-budget allocations administered via the Ministry of Higher Education, Science and Innovation and the national accounting platform PK UzASBO, supplemented by contract-based (self-paid) tuition for bachelor, master and doctoral students, international research grants (notably Erasmus+ CBHE projects HWCA, SUSADICA, HADA, BIOECUZ, DEBSEUz, SOCFARM and VEGERA), and conference and publication fees from a portfolio of Scopus/Elsevier-indexed and SPIE-indexed events (CONMECHYDRO, ETESD, CONDigTechAI, World Water Day, Women Water Week) priced between €220 and $230 for international participants. The go-to-market is event- and content-driven, anchored by a multilingual tiiame.uz website in Uzbek, Russian, English and Chinese, supplemented by Telegram channels (@ilovetiiame, @conmechydro), an online admissions and ID portal (id.tiiame.uz), and an Eco TIIAME ArcGIS dashboard.

The university operates an Almaty branch in Kazakhstan, an internal Institute of Fundamental and Applied Research, a Specialized School feeder institution, and a co-organizer ecosystem spanning Russia, China, India, Japan, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Hungary, Germany, the United States, Turkey, Bulgaria and other Central Asian states, alongside multilateral partners including the Ministry of Water Resources of Uzbekistan, IWMI, GFZ, ICBA, UNDP, UN Women, OSCE, ADB, SDC and UN ESCAP/CSAM. Technology assets include the Digital Education Technologies Center, an Electronic Scientific Archive, a Youth Science Portal, the Eco TIIAME ArcGIS environmental dashboard, and a TIIAME_bot Telegram service; the institution is not listed on any exchange and operates as a government state entity.
