President Mirziyoyev reviewed the implementation of a high-tech project by Vades Group in Ahangaran district. The facility plans to produce microprocessor modules for identification, SIM cards, as well as transport, social, and international payment cards.

In Ahangaran, Vades Group is implementing a project to establish high-tech production. The project will involve launching the production of microprocessor modules for identification systems and SIM cards, along with transport, social, and international payment cards.

The project is being carried out in accordance with the tasks outlined in the decree of the President of Uzbekistan dated January 22, 2025, "On Additional Measures to Bring the Electrical Engineering Industry to a New Stage of Development." The enterprise will manufacture products necessary for implementing digital government services and forming convenient and secure payment systems for the population.

The plant is being built in cooperation with the German company Infineon Technologies on the territory of the Eltech Industrial technopark. The total cost of the project is $15 million. Currently, the second phase of construction is 15% complete, with $7 million in investments utilized.

The 4-hectare complex, after full launch, will create about 100 new jobs and enable exports worth up to $6 million.

It is reported that in 2025, microprocessor modules, SIM cards, and various payment cards worth $35 million were imported into the country. After the enterprise reaches full capacity, it is planned to replace imports by $5 million, and the cost of products in the domestic market could decrease by 3–5%.

The enterprise's products are planned to be exported to Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Mozambique, and Cambodia.

During the visit, Shavkat Mirziyoyev reviewed the production processes and conditions being created, and gave instructions on implementing innovative approaches, improving the qualifications of local personnel, and expanding export potential.
