Uzbekistan strengthens its position in the global outsourcing market at ABSL Summit 2025

Uzbekistan is strengthening its ambitions to become a new center of attraction for outsourcing services by presenting the national IT sector at one of the key international platforms — ABSL Summit 2025. The summit, which took place in Krakow and brought together over 1,500 participants, including representatives of the Fortune 500, venture funds and government delegations, became an important point of contact for global players in the field of global business services and IT outsourcing.

The speech of the delegation of the IT Park of Uzbekistan highlighted the growing role of the country as a promising destination for the relocation of outsourcing processes, especially for European, Middle Eastern and North African companies. A young, digitally literate population, competitive labor costs, and flexible government policies create a solid foundation for creating a sustainable business climate.

According to Ahmed Abulez, Advisor to the CEO of IT Park and Director of Talent Development, the synergy between technical training, infrastructure investment and state-level support makes Uzbekistan an attractive partner for Europe. He emphasized: "Speed and innovation are on our side, strategic thinking and quality requirements are on theirs."

Key results of Uzbekistan's participation in ABSL Summit 2025:

• More than 30 potential partnerships have been established with international corporations and industry associations interested in entering the Central Asian market.
• Representatives of IT Park participated in the central discussion panel on the future of global business services along with top managers of major international players.
• Uzbekistan was presented as a jurisdiction with a transparent legal framework and a high level of operational efficiency, able to offer an optimal balance between the cost and quality of services.
• There was an increased interest from investors in the developing technological infrastructure of the country and the state system of incentives for IT businesses.

With traditional outsourcing hubs in Central and Eastern Europe facing a shortage of staff and rising costs, the industry's focus is naturally shifting to less saturated but dynamic markets. Uzbekistan is increasingly perceived as a growth point, especially given its digitalization investments, startup support programs, and strategic tax initiatives.

Participation in ABSL Summit not only strengthened Uzbekistan's international positioning, but also highlighted the country's desire to play an active role in the global transformation of value chains. IT Park intends to develop long-term partnerships, encourage the export of IT services, and promote local technology solutions to global markets.

Uzbekistan has come under the spotlight as a market capable of offering a mature alternative to traditional locations — with a focus on growth, scalability, and sustainable digital transformation.
