Bishkek, Feb. 16, 2026 /Kabar/. The number of Creative Industries Park (CIP) residents in Kyrgyzstan increased from 21 in Q3 2024 to 155 by the end of 2025, and further to 165 by the end of January 2026. Around 50 of the 155 residents are newly established individual entrepreneurs or companies that launched operations under the CIP regime.
Employment has also expanded significantly, rising from 80 jobs in Q3 2024 to 707 jobs by Q4 2025.
The Creative Industries Park has generated more than 2 billion soms in total resident revenue over nearly two years of operation, according to its director Kanyshai Mamytova.
The park was registered in April 2024, with the first 21 residents reporting 43.5 million soms in revenue in the third quarter of that year. Since then, quarterly revenue has grown steadily, reaching 915 million soms in the fourth quarter of 2025.
Tax contributions from residents followed a similar upward trend, reaching 23.4 million soms in Q4 2025. Mamytova noted that for creative businesses, savings are primarily linked to personal income tax and social contributions, as labor costs constitute the main expense in the sector. Residents are also required to contribute 1% of revenue to support the park’s administration.
According to the director, more than 20 of the 155 resident companies involve foreign participation, including firms from Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Belarus, Russia, Poland, and Malaysia. She emphasized that the park is gradually becoming an international platform and aims to attract more major foreign companies in the future.
In 2025, the park also launched a support fund providing monthly grants to creative projects and hosted the first regional CreaPark 2025 competition and conference.
