In an effort to develop small-scale manufacturing enterprises and expand cooperation ties between them, authorities in Uzbekistan have formulated a list of 53 micro-industrial centers slated for 2026. These new facilities are intended to cover 400 neighborhoods and supposedly generate 7,500 new jobs.

According to the press service of the Ministry of Economy and Finance, the centers will specialize in garment and furniture production, metalworking, and the manufacturing of leather and footwear goods. At the initial stage, financing in the amount of 75 billion soms has been provisioned for the development of project infrastructure.

At present, an targeted list of facilities worth 31.9 billion soms has already been formed to supply 18 micro-industrial centers with electricity and gas grids, drinking water, sewage systems, and road infrastructure. Furthermore, an additional 35 billion soms has been allocated exclusively for the construction of engineering and communication networks for these micro-industrial hubs.
