In April of this year, international experts, together with local authorities, conducted a preliminary on-site (diagnostic) study of the regions' capabilities, their problems, "growth points" and potential, as well as their implementation.

At the second stage, international experts will sow Shakhrisabz and Kamashi regions on June 6-10 this year and continue research.

In particular, on June 8, round tables and seminar-trainings were organized in the Shakhrisabz region, at which proposals were put forward for cluster, that is, the interconnected development of the driver industries of the region, and tourism, agriculture, IT and services.

Representatives of local authorities, assistants to the khokim, chairmen of mahallas and the population, entrepreneurs, who expressed their proposals and recommendations on determining the directions of development and specialization of the district, also took an active part in it.
