On 6 November 2026, the Ministry of Digital Technologies organised an online conference under the Five Million Artificial Intelligence Leaders project to introduce university students to modern IT careers and available opportunities.

Afrasiab University students and faculty members joined the conference together from the university’s assembly hall.

The event provided important information on global labour market trends, the ways artificial intelligence is changing professions, and IT fields expected to be in high demand in the future.

Participants were also introduced to the following opportunities:

• Startup competitions for young people and opportunities to attract venture capital;
• Free grant programmes in GameDev and Data Science;
• Opportunities to take international courses free of charge and earn professional certificates through the aileaders.uz platform.

We encourage our students to take confident steps towards a digital future and make active use of these opportunities.
