An official opening of the IT Park Dushanbe – the first fully-fledged innovation center in the country aimed at developing the digital economy and technologies – took place on April 7.

The opening ceremony was attended by Dushanbe Mayor Rustam Emomali as well as representatives from the most advanced and innovative companies in the country.

This event can rightfully be considered a landmark step in the development of Tajikistan’s technological sector.  The IT Park already provides companies with access to tax incentives and government support for the community of specialists, making the launch and development of IT businesses easier and more profitable. This is especially beneficial for young teams, fintech companies, and developers who previously faced bureaucracy and high costs.

The main mission of the IT Park is to promote the development of the digital economy and provide comprehensive support to residents engaged in the IT sector.

The center offers benefits and guarantees for residents, including: 0% tax on profits, VAT, dividends, and local taxes; reduced income tax and social security rates; and creating a favorable environment for technological growth and international cooperation.

Tasks of the IT Park in Dushanbe:

• Build the necessary human capital for digitalization;
• Attract broad attention to issues of digital transformation;
• Ensure a favorable tax structure and attract funding;
• Expand IT infrastructure;
• Establish partnerships.
