Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- On 4 April 2019, a memorandum of cooperation was signed between the International Aerospace Committee (IAC) and the Digital Trust Foundation, which involves strengthening and developing mutual cooperation, as well as exchanging information to implement the goals of the Memorandum.

The parties are ready to provide the necessary mutual administrative and legal support to each other, as well as consultations on the issues raised to assist in the implementation of a joint project.

The parties agreed to work together to attract funding for high-tech projects in the field of Aviation, Space, Energy and land resources implemented in the Republic of Uzbekistan. In addition, cooperation is provided through the exchange of experience and information, holding mutual consultations as part of their participation in the implementation of the Memorandum.

One of the first projects under the Memorandum will be the transfer of technology from the Swiss company Tudor Tech, which is the world’s first and only X-ray scanning technology for aircraft and other types of transport as a fast and reliable method of security monitoring. The technology is an effective tool for identifying the facts of illegal transportation of explosives, weapons, drugs, cash and provides 100% detection of the above threats.

As part of the meeting, a joint decision was made to implement a project to build a plant in Jizzakh region, producing scanners in the Republic of Uzbekistan. Produced scanners will ensure the safety of airports not only in the region, but throughout Asia.

In implementing this ambitious project, the International Aerospace Committee (IAC) will assist the Foundation by attracting full investment from Switzerland.
