The Ministry of Investment of the UAE and the Ministry of Digital Technologies of the Republic of Uzbekistan have signed an investment memorandum.
The MoU establishes a framework for investment cooperation in digital infrastructure with a focus on data centre and artificial intelligence projects in Uzbekistan.
The memorandum was signed by Mohamed Hassan Alsuwaidi, Minister of Investment, and Sherzod Shermatov, Minister of Digital Technologies of the Republic of Uzbekistan.
Uzbekistan’s digital market has been experiencing steady growth since the adoption of the Digital Uzbekistan – 2030 strategy in 2020, which paved the way for the country’s transformation over the next decade.
The data centre market in the country is projected to grow by 9.82 percent between 2024 and 2028, resulting in a market volume of $361.40 million in 2028.
The memorandum aims to explore and evaluate joint investment opportunities for new data centres in Uzbekistan, which would provide cloud and AI solutions to both private and government entities.
Additionally, the agreement seeks to attract major cloud service providers to the country, assess the potential for super-computer projects, explore the development of language models specific to Uzbekistan, and establish a local talent ecosystem for AI and computing, apart from facilitating strong and effective collaboration between the public and private sectors in the two nations.
