Tashkent is redefining what it means to be a Silk Road capital. While its 2,200-year-old roots are preserved in places like the Khazrati Imam Complex and Alay Bazaar, Uzbekistan’s capital is embracing a bold digital future. The city’s IT Park anchors a growing tech sector, supported by government reforms and rising global interest.
