Uzbekistan’s Youth at the “Take Off 2025” Startup Summit The youth delegation of Uzbekistan, led by Alisher Sa’dullayev, Director of the Youth Affairs Agency, is currently participating in the 8th international startup summit “Take Off”, being held in Istanbul, Türkiye. The delegation also includes Abdulaziz Yakubov, Head of Yoshlar Ventures. The event places special emphasis on expanding opportunities for Uzbek startups to enter new markets and establish cooperation with international investors. The summit program features panel discussions on technology, artificial intelligence, fintech, startup investments, and sustainable development, as well as startup pitch sessions, meetings with investors, and networking events. During the visit, the Uzbek delegation is expected to sign agreements with international partners aimed at supporting youth-led startups in Uzbekistan, attracting venture capital investments, and expanding incubation and acceleration programs. For reference, at the initiative of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan, this prestigious “Take Off” startup summit is planned to be held in Samarkand in 2026. This will represent an important step toward positioning Uzbekistan as one of the regional hubs of the startup ecosystem. Yoshlar Ventures — you create, we give wings.
