From July 3rd to 5th, 2023, a unique hackathon called “Code Fest” took place at Astrum IT Academy located in the Tashkent region. The event was organized by IT Park with the support of the Tashkent regional administration. The main goal of the hackathon was to enhance the IT potential of the region and create a favorable environment for innovative projects.

In total, the prize fund of the hackathon amounted to a staggering sum of 1 billion Uzbekistani soms. This significant reward is capable of stimulating participants to create high-quality and advanced projects.
