The Ministry of Digital Technologies of Uzbekistan announced that IT Park Uzbekistan has concluded memorandums of cooperation with the East Committee of German Business (Ost-Ausschuss der Deutschen Wirtschaft) and the international education company Berlitz.
The agreements were signed during the visit of the IT Park delegation, led by CEO Azamat Karamatov, who visited France and Germany. The trip covered Paris, Munich, and Berlin.
The central event of the visit was the Uzbekistan Outsourcing Conference (UOC Berlin 2026). The delegation's goal was to expand the presence of Uzbek companies in European markets, attract European businesses to Uzbekistan, promote international startup collaboration, establish connections with foreign clients, and strengthen the country's human capital potential.
On October 20, Karamatov met with representatives of the STATION F startup campus in Paris. The parties discussed supporting Uzbek startups in entering the French and other European markets, participation in international acceleration programs, and establishing direct contacts with venture investors and corporate partners. One of the key issues was the possibility of creating an innovation center for Uzbekistan at STATION F.
On October 21, the delegation held negotiations with international companies and industry associations in Munich. Discussions focused on involving Uzbek specialists in foreign projects, increasing the volume of technological outsourcing, and integrating local IT companies into international service supply chains.
With Axl Brains, the delegation discussed recruiting qualified specialists and forming technical teams in Uzbekistan. The next step is planned to resume cooperation on personnel recruitment and assess the company's current staffing needs.
Negotiations with ABSL DACH concerned promoting Uzbekistan as a potential destination for international outsourcing services and Global Capability Centers (GCCs). The Uzbek side intends to present the country's opportunities to association members and participate in ABSL events.
Discussions with Schwarz Digits touched upon digital infrastructure, cloud solutions, and information security. The parties plan to assess the company's requirements and identify potential service providers among IT Park residents with relevant experience.
On October 22, the Uzbekistan Embassy in Germany hosted the Uzbekistan Outsourcing Conference 2026. The event gathered over 90 representatives from international business, technology companies, and organizations. This conference is being held in Berlin for the third consecutive year.
Participants received information about Uzbekistan's investment and human capital potential, the operating conditions of IT Park, existing state support mechanisms, as well as opportunities for establishing international IT outsourcing and Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) operations in the country. The central part of the program was a panel discussion titled 'Uzbekistan and Germany: Building a New Partnership in Global Services.'
Attendees included Michael Harms, Managing Director of the East Committee of German Business; Zhakhongir Kagirov, Director of Export Development at IT Park; Ursula Steinmetz, representing CCV; and Teresa Brock from Berlitz. Gufrun Atto, founder and CEO of AttoLabs, shared his entrepreneurial experience and views on the development of the technology business.
The conference also attracted representatives from organizations such as Deloitte, CIC, davero dialog, nearshorefriends, Berlitz, Fraunhofer IPK, Klarna, Rödl, SCHNEIDER GROUP, and others.
The event was organized with the support of the Embassy of Uzbekistan in Germany, the East Committee of German Business, and conference partners.
The memorandum with the East Committee of German Business establishes the basis for systematic interaction with the German business community. It provides for presenting Uzbekistan's potential to investors and clients, as well as exchanging information on business conditions and available support mechanisms. Practical cooperation will include joint industry events, business delegations, and business-to-business (B2B) meetings.
The memorandum with Berlitz involves developing a joint training program for native German speakers in the BPO sector of Uzbekistan. It is expected that the teaching methods will be adapted to the requirements of international employers operating in German-speaking markets. According to IT Park, this will help form a talent pool for export-oriented service companies.
After the conference, the delegation continued consultations with international companies. Discussions with CIC focused on developing the format of a Venture Café in Tashkent. This international platform brings together startups, investors, technology companies, and experts.
Negotiations with CCV focused on attracting German companies specializing in contact centers and customer service to Uzbekistan, as well as creating local teams capable of serving German-speaking clients.
