Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- A meeting of the Chairman of the Board of Uzavtosanoat Shavkat Umurzakov with students and young inventors of Uzbekistan was held at the Turin Polytechnic University in Tashkent.

The meeting was held as part of the UzAuto Market innovative start-up platform project, designed to provide all possible assistance to young innovators in the implementation of their ideas and inventions.

In his welcoming speech to the participants, Shavkat Umurzakov noted that today it is especially important to pay attention and strongly support our young scientists. Given the specifics and complexity of the automotive industry, the bulk of inventions and ideas remains unrealized and only "on paper", which is associated with high costs and other problems. Also, the lion’s share of high-tech, as well as simple equipment and parts for any devices and mechanisms comes from abroad, at a time when their production and development can be implemented here.

During the meeting, the participants were presented with the possibilities of a startup site and the prospects for cooperation. It was noted that for the implementation of projects of any complexity, startup startups will have access to the UzAuto Innovation Center at the Turin Polytechnic University in Tashkent. The main directions of the Center, where UzAuto Market startup site participants can receive support, are scientific activities, applied and innovative research, as well as training and professional retraining. In addition, as part of the startup platform, it is planned to conduct various competitions and hackathons among the participants.

To implement any ideas, participants will be provided, if necessary, with a workplace with all communications, a laboratory, machines and other necessary tools and devices.
