The establishment of the academy is expected to be a significant step towards strengthening Uzbekistan’s position on the international stage in the game development sector. It will also open new opportunities for IT professionals in Uzbekistan, providing them with the chance to learn and work with international gaming companies. Graduates of the academy will contribute to the significant growth and development of Uzbekistan’s gaming industry by introducing new ideas and innovative solutions to the local market. With the skills and knowledge acquired, they will be able to create competitive products, attract international investments, and drive the country's economic development.
