The company showcased its latest digital solutions, emphasized its strategic role in the development of Uzbekistan’s telecom infrastructure, and received international awards for network quality, reaffirming its market leadership and contribution to the country’s digital transformation.
From September 23 to 26, the Central Asian Expo Uzbekistan (CAEx) in Tashkent became a platform for dialogue on the future of digital transformation and economic growth, as well as a venue for presenting cutting-edge solutions that shape the ecosystem of «Digital Uzbekistan.» ICT Week 2025 is the country’s flagship event in the information technology sector, annually uniting entrepreneurs, investors, IT industry leaders, and government representatives. International experts and technology companies joined policymakers to discuss innovation, infrastructure, and new opportunities for national development.
At this major industry forum, Beeline Uzbekistan demonstrated its expertise among the leading participants. The company presented a dedicated stand, demonstrating modern digital services and solutions, while underscoring its role in building telecom infrastructure and creating digital products for the people of Uzbekistan.
«ICT Week is a space for dialogue about the future of the industry. For us, it is important to be part of this process — by investing in infrastructure, introducing innovative services, and supporting talent. We believe that Uzbekistan’s digital transformation is impossible without accessible solutions for both people and businesses. Our mission is to be a bridge between technology and society,» said Andrey Pyatakhin, CEO of Beeline Uzbekistan.
As part of the ICT Week 2025 program, Lasha Tabidze, Group Chief Digital Operations Officer at VEON, spoke at the session «Redefining Infrastructure: Colocation as the Engine of Digital Acceleration», where international experts and executives of leading IT companies discussed the country’s digital future.
«Everything starts with investment. But long-term investment only makes sense if regulations and policies support the bigger game of digital transformation and inclusion. Technology is important, but what truly matters is the customer—whether B2B or B2C, we must create value and deliver digital services for the people of Uzbekistan,» noted Lasha Tabidze.
«Finally, the biggest differentiator is talent. Around the world, there is no shortage of money or technology, but there is a shortage of people who can create, innovate, and build. At Veon and especially at Beeline Uzbekistan, we are proud to invest not only in networks, but also in developing local talent. Local products, built by local people, for local people, with data that stays in the country—that’s the real foundation for sustainable digital growth.»
During the forum, Beeline Uzbekistan was honored with prestigious international awards confirming its leadership in the development of high-speed mobile internet networks. The award in the category «Best Mobile Video Experience» was presented by Hamdi Farid, Senior Vice President of Product at Ookla, while the awards for «Download Speed Experience» and «Consistent Quality» were presented by Laith Hashem, Director of Sales MEA and Central Asia at Opensignal.
The company’s active participation at ICT Week 2025 further reinforced its commitment to long-term development in Uzbekistan. Over the years, Beeline Uzbekistan has invested more than USD 1.6 billion into the country’s telecom infrastructure and digital services. Today, the company continues to expand opportunities for customers, foster innovation, and develop local expertise. The international recognition received at ICT Week highlights Beeline Uzbekistan’s industry leadership and its vital role in shaping the digital future of Uzbekistan.
