Bishkek, Feb. 5, 2026. /Kabar/. Twenty-five years ago, the development of the digital ecosystem in the country began thanks to enthusiasts and early internet users. Today, this story has evolved into a large-scale regional movement. Azis Abakirov, head of the High-Tech Park of Kyrgyzstan, stated at the B5+1 forum.
"Yesterday, at the panel on agriculture, colleagues from Uzbekistan proposed the idea of One Central Asia, and we actively support it. Central Asia should function as a unified business and technology space. We are collaborating with all partners, including large international IT companies, and are implementing artificial intelligence systems," Abakirov noted.
He emphasized that the region has a unique demographic advantage: approximately 80% of the population is young, making Central Asia attractive to international companies and startups. According to the speaker, joint initiatives and technological integration create new business opportunities and strengthen partnerships between the countries of the region.
"CA works with everyone. We appreciate bold initiatives and are ready to develop joint projects for the benefit of the entire region," Abakirov added.
It is worth noting that Kyrgyzstan is hosting the B5+1 forum, which has brought together hundreds of participants from Central Asian countries, including business leaders, government representatives, and technology experts.
