Companies in the Future Technologies Center in Nurafshan to Receive IT Park Benefits
A Future Technologies Center will be established in Nurafshan, and enterprises within its system will receive benefits equivalent to those of IT Park residents.
The establishment of the center was announced by President Shavkat Mirziyoyev on November 9 during a meeting with investors and entrepreneurs in the electrical engineering sector. The project is intended to become part of a unified ecosystem for the production of modern electronics, industrial robotics, and technological devices based on microelectronics.
Authorities plan to exempt materials and components for the production of robots, electronic equipment, and technological devices from import duties. Income from scientific developments in the high-tech sector will also be tax-exempt.
As a foundation for the industry's development, the president cited the existing production of microprocessor modules at the Eltech technopark in Akhangaran. Additionally, a humanoid robot factory is under construction in Tashkent with the participation of Korean partners.
Separate projects for the production of electrical engineering products have been commissioned in several regions. In Tashkent, plans include manufacturing servers, interactive panels, and touch sensors; in Andijan, office equipment and cable sets; and in Kashkadarya, electronic boards for televisions.
According to Mirziyoyev, these initiatives should meet part of domestic demand and create opportunities for $5 billion in exports. Over 100 local and more than 10 foreign investors present at the meeting were invited to participate in the new projects.
