What is the IT Community of Uzbekistan?🤷🏻♀️ The IT Community of Uzbekistan is the largest IT Community in the country and is a unifying force, bringing together IT professionals, students, entrepreneurs, companies and organizations dedicated to the development and application of information technology in Uzbekistan. This collective effort is driven by a mission to advance Uzbekistan’s IT industry, popularize IT across the nation, enhance the quality of IT products and services, facilitate the exchange of experience and knowledge, provide numerous high-quality IT training programs, and innovate to elevate the quality of life for the people of the country. https://itcom.uz/ One of the key events I participated in as a volunteer was Hacknovation 2024, a grand hackathon that took place in Tashkent in July this year. It was a truly unforgettable experience! Within 48 hours, the participants, divided into teams, developed innovative IT solutions aimed at improving the efficiency of public services. As a volunteer, I helped with registration of participants, catering and accommodation, as well as provided technical support throughout the event. It was very interesting to watch how new ideas were born, and how the teams worked on their implementation. I was impressed by the level of knowledge and creativity of the participants. At the end of Hacknovation 2024, the jury evaluated the projects according to various criteria such as innovativeness, applied value and feasibility. The winners were awarded valuable prizes and given the opportunity to further support the development of their solutions. Participating as a volunteer at Hacknovation 2024 was a real inspiration for me. I saw how great the potential of our IT community in Uzbekistan is, and how joint efforts can bring innovative ideas to life. This is just one example of what the IT Community Uzbekistan does - we help to uncover talents, create new opportunities and move the industry forward.
