01:30United Soft is a member of IT Park, which runs an ecosystem of support to develop business.
01:38With branches across Uzbekistan and representation abroad, it helps to create jobs for tech-savvy young workers and attract foreign companies, which already make up over 600 of its members.
01:52We provide tax and custom benefits. We also have visa benefits for them. We have big access to the talent pool. For example, in our country, we have 21 million working age professionals, including 5 million English-speaking specialists.
02:09And we also have the programs for the local companies to expand their businesses internationally. We also provide incubation and acceleration programs for startups.
02:19Task Vision, another IT Park member, deploys artificial intelligence and cloud-based technologies to analyze customers in retail stores, providing insights to drive up profits.
02:34We connect with the store's existing CCTV cameras. And we provide our own AI camera.
02:49And we collect customer data and goods data in real time. We are giving just data about the demographics and age, gender, and also how many customers are coming in, and in what zone they're spending time, what they're looking for, and what about the touch points between goods and human.
03:07Technology is also transforming public services, whose Infocom is helping to make it happen.
03:17We are witnessing significant changes in public services and e-government in Uzbekistan. For example, MightyPalm, our system for recognizing your veins in your hand. We use it in the public transport, like in the metro, but we can use it in retail. It's more efficient and more secure.
03:37The growth of Uzbekistan's tech and ICT sectors is future-proofing its economy and positioning the country as a leading innovation hub in Central Asia.
03:53Let's get more now from Sherzod Shermatov, Minister of Digital Technologies, who's in Tashkent. So, Minister, why all this growth, then, in tech and ICT?
04:02It's because we had the bold vision of our president to make Uzbekistan an IT hub, which is creating the job opportunities, highly paid job opportunities for our use.
04:12And Uzbekistan had a young and growing population, and we need to create the jobs within Uzbekistan.
04:18And how is this then driving sustainable growth in the country?
04:21Uzbekistan used to be a Muslim agrarian country, and we are now trying to focus more on new service sectors growth, and we had the highest growth rates in the ICT-related services, in fintech, and in all these new startups areas.
04:38So, this is an enabling growing field for our young talents to grow their ideas to make future successful startups.
04:46Minister, thanks for joining us. Well, that's all we have time for in this edition, but you can get more business news at euronews.com.
