Uzbekistan has begun developing a national strategy for the development of microelectronics and semiconductor production for 2027–2036. The Asian Development Bank (ADB) will provide $1.2 million in technical assistance for this work. Of this amount, $1 million will be directed directly toward drafting the document, while the remaining $200,000 will go toward hiring consultants and launching a personnel training program.

The selection of an international consulting firm was completed on October 15, 2026. Five contenders from the United States, Singapore, Malaysia, and Uzbekistan took part in the tender. Foreign and local specialists with experience in the semiconductor industry have also been engaged in formulating the strategy.

American expert Glenn Quiro, who worked at Intel for 17 years, has become the international consultant. His total experience in the semiconductor industry exceeds 25 years, and his specialization covers the physics and design of microelectronic devices. Uzbekistan has also brought in Oybek Abdulkhaev, who holds a PhD and possesses more than 15 years of experience in the field of electronics and semiconductor physics.
