Today marked an important milestone in our mission to expand AI education in Central Asia as we met with representatives from PDP University in Tashkent to establish a collaborative AI Education Center. The meeting focused on creating a comprehensive program that bridges theoretical knowledge with practical applications in AI.

The collaboration will bring together our expertise in AI education with PDP University’s strong industry connections to create a program that includes:

  1. Practical Skills Development: Focus on Azure certification and real-world applications
  2. Flexible Learning: Evening classes to accommodate working professionals
  3. Industry-Aligned Curriculum: Emphasis on prompt engineering and machine learning operations
  4. Student Support: Comprehensive tutoring system and performance incentives

During the signing ceremony, both institutions reaffirmed their commitment to developing AI talent in Uzbekistan. This partnership will launch its first cohort in September, initially accepting 20 students and offering a mix of online lectures and hands-on lab practice.

What makes this collaboration particularly exciting is its focus on practical AI applications and the opportunity for students to earn Microsoft Azure certification. High-performing students will also have the chance to visit Korea for additional training and exposure to advanced AI technologies.

We look forward to working closely with PDP University to create a new generation of AI professionals in Uzbekistan. This partnership represents an important step in our ongoing commitment to expanding access to quality AI education in Central Asia.
