StrategEast's most ambitious project in Central Asia focuses on developing and promoting the region as a reliable provider of digital services, supported by USAID's Future Growth Initiative. We also highlight Central Asia's capability to develop products of interest to other countries,President of the organization Anatoly Motkin told Trend in an exclusive interview. He mentioned that another significant recent project for StrategEast is establishing a digital bridge between Central Asia and the Gulf countries. He also highlighted the emergence of several unicorn companies (startups valued at over $1 billion) in Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. “The emergence of each unicorn company fuels exponential growth and heightened interest in the IT industry within these countries. Thanks to the vigorous efforts of Uzbekistan's High-Tech Park and the Ministry for the Development of Information Technologies and Communications, Uzbekistan is increasingly becoming a significant player on the global outsourcing map. It is crucial that not only local IT companies are involved in attracting new clients, but this initiative has also gained support at the state level,” he added. He stated that Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and other countries in the region have realized that collaborating and promoting themselves collectively is far more effective and easier than doing so individually. He pointed out that institutions like the Silkroad Innovation Hub in California (US) and the Al-Farabi Innovation Hub in Riyadh (Saudi Arabia), along with other initiatives, are already benefiting all countries in the region, not just their founders. The StrategEast president emphasized that Central Asia and the Caucasus can achieve significantly more by working together. When asked about the measures needed to develop the IT industry in less developed Central Asian countries like Tajikistan, Motkin noted that there are substantial drivers for digital transformation in these nations. However, he believes this is not sufficient for Tajikistan to catch up with its neighbors in digital transformation. Achieving this requires not only political will but also support from international financial institutions and development agencies, as well as the advancement of the academic environment, especially in fundamental sciences like math, physics, and chemistry.Read more: https://lnkd.in/gt47eaGa
