Kyrgyzstan has launched the construction of an IT town as part of the large-scale project, an initiative aimed at transforming Osh, the country’s second-largest city.
Speaking at the launch ceremony on February 14, President Sadyr Japarov stated that the project’s main goal is to ensure sustainable regional development through modern technology and large-scale housing construction.
The Osh project will include a residential complex with over 10,000 apartments, covering a total area of 1 million square meters. The development will feature modern schools and kindergartens; medical facilities and gyms; pedestrian and bicycle paths; green recreation areas; and children’s playgrounds.
A key component of the project, the IT town, will serve as an innovation hub for entrepreneurs and IT specialists, offering modern residential, social, and commercial infrastructure.
According to Japarov, the growth of the IT sector will enhance Kyrgyzstan’s global competitiveness, accelerating economic, social, and technological development in Osh and beyond. The initiative is expected to strengthen trade, economic, cultural, and humanitarian ties, while also attracting more foreign tourists.
Japarov noted that thousands of jobs will be created during the construction process, helping to reduce migration levels. Once completed, the Osh project will generate employment in housing services, education, healthcare, and the IT industry.
The IT town is envisioned as a magnet for IT professionals, drawing specialists from across Kyrgyzstan and abroad.
