“The AI Hub brings together promising ideas from universities, researchers, start-ups, and innovators on a single collaborative platform. Its mission is to coordinate these initiatives and provide end-to-end support—from early-stage concepts to market-ready products and sustainable businesses.
The ecosystem integrates co-working spaces, mentorship programmes, technological expertise, investor engagement, and commercialisation mechanisms, enabling innovative ideas to evolve into globally competitive solutions,” said Odil Qo‘ysinov, Vice Rector of Nordik University and Head of the Delegation.
“Such international experience plays a vital role in strengthening collaboration between academia, research, and industry, empowering innovators, and accelerating the development of cutting-edge AI technologies.”
Operating in partnership with Princeton University, the innovation centre introduced participants to advanced approaches for managing AI ecosystems, commercialising research and innovation, and understanding the strategic role of modern data centres in the advancement of artificial intelligence.
Through interactive workshops and role-based simulations on AI infrastructure management, participants explored practical models of collaboration between universities, industry, and government, gaining valuable insights into effective innovation governance.
This international AI professional development programme is designed to study global best practices, adapt them to Uzbekistan’s education system, and contribute to the development of a new generation of AI leaders capable of driving technological transformation.
