Uzbekistan plans to build a technopark in the Nukus district of Karakalpakstan, featuring data centers with a total capacity of 1 GW. Renewable energy sources will power the complex, with new substations and transmission lines planned. The first phase is expected by late 2027.

The Uzbek government is launching a structural shift in the agricultural sector of the Nukus district, moving from simple cultivation to a vertical integrated chain of production, processing, and export. Starting next spring, 10,000 hectares in the Nukus district will be dedicated to melon production. To ensure the viability of the project, the administration has been tasked with importing high-yield varieties and agrotechnology expertise from Spain, the US, the Netherlands, and China by the end of the year. The project aims to move beyond raw exports. The government plans to attract investors to establish a holding company that will handle the deep processing of melons on-site, shifting the value-added component from the importing countries back to Uzbekistan.
