ADMINISTRATION OF THE .UZ DOMAIN — WINNER OF THE ANTI-CORRUPTION HACKATHON IN UZBEKISTAN

From May 2 to 4, 2025, the “New Uzbekistan” University hosted a national hackathon dedicated to developing digital solutions in the field of anti-corruption. The large-scale IT event was organized by the Anti-Corruption Agency, IT Park, Navoi Mining and Metallurgical Combine JSC, and the “New Uzbekistan” University.

The hackathon brought together around 150 talented young IT specialists from across the country. The main goal of the initiative was to support anti-corruption projects, promote innovative solutions for transparent governance, and foster a generation intolerant of corruption.

At the end of the three-day marathon, first place was awarded to the Uzinfocom team, represented by staff members of the .UZ domain administration. Their blockchain-based project aimed at preventing conflicts of interest in public procurement was recognized as the most well-developed, technologically advanced, and practically applicable.

As a reward, the Uzinfocom team received not only commemorative prizes but also the right to represent Uzbekistan on the international stage — in September 2025 at the Asian hackathon “Coding4Integrity” in Hong Kong, which will unite young professionals from various countries striving for digital transformation in anti-corruption efforts.

This achievement is yet another testament to the professionalism of Uzinfocom specialists and their contribution to promoting digital transparency and open governance in the country.
