Uzbekistan is targeting at least $5bn (€4.3bn) in IT and AI service exports by 2030, as the country tries to turn artificial intelligence from a digital policy priority into a wider economic sector.
Annual IT exports have grown from less than $1m (€850,000) in 2017 to nearly $1bn (€850m), according to Sherzod Shermatov, Uzbekistan’s Minister of Digital Technologies, who said the next stage will depend on skills, investment and the ability to apply AI across businesses and public services.
