Nurafshon Future Technologies Centre companies to receive IT Park incentives

Raw materials and components for the production of robots, electronics, and technological equipment will be exempt from import duties, while income from research and development in these sectors will be tax-free. It has not yet been specified exactly which incentives the centre's companies will receive, how they will be applied, or from what date, Gazeta.uz notes.

The development of the "New Industry" (Yangi sanoat) national platform is planned to link researchers with enterprises interested in their R&D. By May 1, 2027, instructions have been given to adapt one R&D centre or technopark in each region for new industrial directions and to launch product testing facilities at their base. A draft resolution on robotics development must be prepared within two weeks, while a comprehensive support program for the production of technological equipment and electronics must be submitted by March 1, 2027.

High value-added projects include the manufacturing of servers, touch sensors, and interactive panels in Tashkent, office equipment and finished cable assemblies in Andijan, and electronic circuit boards for televisions in Kashkadarya. The "1,000 Design Engineers" program will start in 2027, sending local specialists abroad to upgrade their skills in South Korea, Japan, China, Turkey, and European countries.

Construction of the centre began on July 22, 2026. At the time, it was reported that about $500 million in investment was planned for the 36-hectare complex, and according to the presidential press service, the project is expected to create more than 5,000 highly qualified jobs.
