This is one of the steps towards the country&#8217;s technological independence, increasing competition, and attracting private and foreign investment.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>Key facts<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>In 2025, $50 million will be allocated for the purchase of 16 supercomputers, and in 2026, the amount will double to $100 million.<\/li>\n<li>The President highlighted three key factors for competitiveness: infrastructure, open data, and personnel training.<\/li>\n<li>Over the past eight years, more than 300,000 km of fiber-optic lines have been laid, 99% of settlements are covered by mobile communication, and 7 data centers have been launched.<\/li>\n<li>There is already an example in the regions: the \u201cSmart City\u201d system in Urgench combines electricity, gas, water and heat supply, transport, utilities, and allows for the analysis of appeals and suggestions for solutions.<\/li>\n<li>The heads of regions and the capital&#8217;s districts were instructed to study this experience and implement similar systems by the end of the year.<\/li>\n<li>Starting from 2026, an AI implementation rating for agencies and regions will be introduced; it is also planned to implement 100 projects in healthcare, energy, finance, transport, and agriculture.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>What they say<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Entrepreneurs are forced to use foreign infrastructure, \u2014 the president noted, emphasizing the need for domestic supercomputers.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In an interview, the Minister of Digital Technologies, Sherzod Shermatov, stated that investments in AI could yield a \u201c10-fold\u201d return in the coming years. Experts note that Uzbekistan aims to become a regional center for AI development and the export of digital services. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Context<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In 2024-2025, Uzbekistan significantly expanded its digital infrastructure and strengthened the digitalization of public services and the economy. For example, the export of IT services is growing at a high rate. The \u201cAI Strategy 2030\u201d program has been approved, and a $50 million fund has been launched for the first 86 projects in various sectors.  <\/p>\n<p>International investors and technology companies view Uzbekistan as a platform for hosting data centers and IT infrastructure in Central Asia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The authorities want to implement the AI-based \u201cSmart City\u201d system in all regions by the end of the year \u2014 a decision was made at a video conference chaired by Shavkat Mirziyoyev.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":11381,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sharing_image":{"poster":"https:\/\/frank.uz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/68f789622bd1f.jpg","width":1200,"height":630,"template":"2bf59057","mode":"auto"},"_sharing_image_fieldset":{"Dv78f24rp1hU":11381,"YlB8HH34jIzY":"Uzbekistan plans to invest another $100 million in supercomputers"},"pin_until":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2061],"tags":[2572,3346,2079,2147],"class_list":["post-11411","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-en","tag-ai","tag-digital-technologies","tag-finance","tag-shavkat-mirziyoyev-en"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.0 (Yoast SEO v25.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Uzbekistan plans to invest another $100 million in supercomputers &#8212;
