Abstract

This article examines the formation and development trends of the startup ecosystem in the Republic of Uzbekistan. The study analyzes the country's transition toward a digital economy, the development of innovation infrastructure, and government support mechanisms designed to foster startup growth. Key drivers of startup ecosystem development include technoparks and business incubators, venture financing mechanisms, youth entrepreneurship, and international cooperation. The research further explores the macroeconomic and microeconomic impacts of the ecosystem, including job creation, export promotion, and economic diversification. Existing challenges are identified, and scientifically grounded recommendations are proposed to strengthen the sustainability and effectiveness of the startup ecosystem.
