IT Park Uzbekistan has launched GovChallenges on the Startupbase.uz platform — a program designed to help startups integrate their technological solutions into government institutions with minimal bureaucracy and maximum transparency.

 

The first wave begins in partnership with the Central Bank of Uzbekistan, which has already published more than 10 FinTech challenges. These are real, practical needs of government agencies that require technological solutions today.
