frontier tech markets
Uzbekistan showed off a fast-growing tech sector with billions in value and hundreds of thousands of IT workers. Investors watch these new regions because they offer cheaper tech talent and new software development hubs.
What changed
Official data released during ICTWeek Uzbekistan on September 29, 2026, pegged the local startup ecosystem valuation at $4.3 billion.
