A meeting was held at the Uzbekistan Economic Assembly with the Rector, Pro-Rector of INHA University in Tashkent, and responsible representatives for the university's international and external relations.
During the meeting, the Assembly's strategic activities serving the country's economic development, its initiatives aimed at realizing the potential of youth, and its practical projects linking education, innovation, and employment were presented.
The parties thoroughly discussed issues related to the early identification of talented youth, correctly guiding them towards modern professions and technologies, involving them in a scientific and innovative environment, and developing them as competitive specialists in the labor market. In particular, strengthening integral cooperation between the education system and the real sector, providing students with work experience through practical projects, and ensuring their employment were noted as priority areas.
Today, this cooperation has begun to yield practical results. Students of INHA University in Tashkent are directly participating in the activities of the Uzbekistan Economic Assembly's AI laboratory (Artificial Intelligence Laboratory) and are working on projects in the fields of artificial intelligence, digital economy, data analysis, and innovative technologies. This demonstrates an effective model of integration between university education and a practical innovative environment.
At the end of the meeting, the parties reached agreements on expanding long-term cooperation in the fields of education, artificial intelligence, startup ecosystem, scientific research, and youth employment, as well as establishing joint programs and mentorship platforms.
This dialogue was evaluated as an important step towards strengthening the “education – innovation – economy” chain, preparing talented youth in accordance with the demands of the new economy, and developing Uzbekistan's intellectual capital.
