At the initiative of the Embassy of the Republic of Uzbekistan in the Kingdom of Sweden, in cooperation with the Swedish Institute, an online dialogue dedicated to the Global Professionals Scholarship (GPS) program was organized.
This meeting became another important initiative aimed at connecting young people of Uzbekistan with prestigious educational and professional development opportunities in Europe.
Along with representatives of the Embassy, the dialogue was attended by representatives of the Ministry of Higher Education, Science and Innovations of the Republic of Uzbekistan, the “El-yurt umidi” Foundation, Nordic International University, and the University of World Economy and Diplomacy.
As a result of the Embassy’s efforts, Uzbekistan was included in the GPS program list covering 34 countries. This program opens significant opportunities, particularly for talented young people completing their undergraduate studies, to pursue education and gain professional experience in Sweden.
During the dialogue, the leadership of Nordic International University delivered a presentation on the university’s activities and international academic initiatives. In addition, in order to further expand cooperation, a proposal was made to launch Swedish language courses, alongside Finnish, at Nordic International University. This initiative is intended to strengthen educational integration and enhance cultural exchange.
At the conclusion of the discussions, Nordic International University was recognized as playing an important role as an “intensive hub” in the development of academic, scientific, and cultural cooperation between Uzbekistan and the countries of Northern Europe.

From Idea to Startup: From the Classroom to Practice
As their final project, students worked on startup ideas based on real-world problems — analyzing consumer needs and market demand, and transforming ideas into functioning business models.
During the defense, special attention was given to:
• the relevance of the idea and the problem it addresses,
• alignment with market needs and the value created for users,
• monetization strategies,
• revenue generation,
• initial costs and financial justification.
The defense process became a gateway into the startup ecosystem for students. One student’s project was accepted into the UzCombinator acceleration program.
Several students also registered their projects for the “Mirzo Ulug‘bek Vorislari” innovation competition.
This experience enabled students to turn academic assignments into real projects, test their knowledge and skills in practice, and define their future entrepreneurial paths.
The goal of the course is to develop specialists who can solve real problems, understand the market, and economically justify their ideas.
The results speak for themselves:
📈 increased student interest in startups
🚀 well-directed practical preparation
Going forward, these projects will be further developed and implemented in practice.
