Uzbekistan Advances Digital Government Agenda at ICTWEEK 2026

Uzbekistan is expanding its digital government system, with thousands of state functions set to move online in the coming years, as digital government takes focus at ICTWEEK Uzbekistan 2026 in Tashkent.

The country’s digitalisation programme is being implemented under the broader Digital Uzbekistan 2030 strategy, with more public services, government databases and administrative processes being moved into digital systems.

Digital services expand

More than 800 public services are currently available through the Unified Portal of Interactive Public Services, or MyGov, which has more than 11 million users.

The wider digital-government infrastructure includes OneID, which provides single sign-on for government services, as well as interdepartmental data platforms and state information registers connecting government agencies.

Uzbekistan has also recorded progress in international digital-government rankings. The country is in the “A” group of the World Bank’s GovTech Maturity Index and ranks 63rd globally in the UN E-Government Development Index.

5,000 government functions targeted for digitisation

In July, President Shavkat Mirziyoyev signed a decree on the further development of the Digital Government system. The decree sets a target of digitising at least 5,000 administrative functions of state bodies by the end of 2028. It also provides for the creation of a Unified Integrated Digital Platform to connect state information systems and establish common standards for their development and data exchange.

The roadmap calls for ministries and government agencies to transition to paperless document management and electronic interaction. It also targets a reduction of at least 30 per cent in spending on the development and operation of state information systems.

The new platform is expected to integrate 20 major state information systems between 2026 and 2028, including the Single Portal of Interactive Public Services, interdepartmental integration systems, unified registers of individuals and legal entities, and the open data portal.

Digital government reaches the regions

The digitalisation programme also extends to local government. The Digital Hokimiyat system is planned for deployment in Karakalpakstan, regional centres and Tashkent by the end of 2026, before being expanded to other districts and cities during 2027–2028.

The system is set to include a Manager’s Dashboard, a geoportal and a Human Dignity Index designed to identify population concerns at mahalla, or community, level. An AI-powered virtual assistant for regional authorities is also planned.

The programme builds on the experience of the Smart District platform already being used in the Mirzo-Ulugbek district of Tashkent for real-time monitoring of regional socioeconomic processes.

AI enters public services

Artificial intelligence is also becoming part of the government’s longer-term digitalisation plans. By the end of 2030, the government aims for 10 per cent of services provided through the Single Portal of Interactive Public Services to use AI.

The government is also working with international partners on AI-related projects, including an AI Data Hub initiative with South Korea.

The developments are being discussed at ICTWEEK Uzbekistan 2026, where digital government is part of a wider technology agenda covering artificial intelligence, digital infrastructure, IT services and the development of Uzbekistan’s technology sector.
