Paris

On 23 April 2023, the 2nd International Forum “O‘zbekistonlik” took place in Paris, the capital of France. The international forum “O‘zbekistonlik. Generating Ideas” in Paris brought together more than 200 of our compatriots who have achieved great success abroad, as well as leaders of the country’s creative and media industries.

The main goal of the forum was to establish international cooperation and networking among compatriots experienced in entrepreneurship and various other fields. During the event, participants held in-depth discussions on a number of areas of vital importance for Uzbekistan’s progress, in particular:

• Enriching and developing human capital;
• Ecology and the transition to a “green” economy;
• Digitalisation and modern technologies;
• Expanding the creative and innovative sectors.

The forum hosted the first screening of the third part of the documentary “O‘zbekistonlik”, dedicated to the lives of successful compatriots. This episode tells the story of the path and achievements of conductor Aziz Shohakimov, who leads the Strasbourg Philharmonic Orchestra, and Madina Berdiyeva, who works as an IT architect at the Shell corporation.
