Xsolla Partners IT Park Uzbekistan To Unlock New Level In Game Development

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 16 (Bernama) -- Global video game commerce company, Xsolla has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with IT Park Uzbekistan to advance the gaming industry in Uzbekistan.

This MoU formalises the collaboration between the two organisations and establishes a path toward launching the Xsolla IT Park Academy in 2025, with the aim to train local talent and create new opportunities for game production and development within Uzbekistan’s growing industry.

“We believe this collaboration is a pivotal step in developing the gaming industry in Uzbekistan. The Game Development Academy will serve as a cornerstone for cultivating the next generation of developers and innovators, and we look forward to seeing how this initiative will contribute to the region’s growth,” said Xsolla Chief Strategy Officer, Chris Hewish.

Meanwhile, IT Park Uzbekistan Executive Director, Abdulakhad Kuchkarov said: “With Xsolla's expertise and our commitment to nurturing talent, we are confident this partnership will unlock new opportunities for local and global gaming communities.”

According to Xsolla in a statement, this MoU outlines several vital objectives and plans for supporting game development in Uzbekistan, including an Incubator and Accelerator to foster innovation.

The collaboration aims to create jobs within the gaming sector, positioning Uzbekistan as a hub for game development by 2030, in addition to exploring opportunities to support local and global studios via Xsolla's platform, focusing on regional growth and international collaboration.

This partnership builds upon Xsolla’s strategy to bring game development education to Central Asia and the Middle East following the opening of the Xsolla Curine Academy in Kuala Lumpur, in April of this year.

The collaboration marks an exciting chapter in the development of the gaming industry in the region, as IT Park and Xsolla will drive innovation, create sustainable growth, and establish Uzbekistan as a player in the global gaming market.
