Within the framework of the “Student Expo–2026” exhibition, a presentation of business projects and start-ups by graduates of higher education institutions was organized at the International University of Tourism and Cultural Heritage “Silk Road”. The event serves to support the innovative ideas of young people and help them realize their entrepreneurial potential.

Speaking at the event, the Rector of the University, Muxsinjon Xolmuxamedov, highlighted the broad opportunities being created for young people by our President to develop start-up projects, as well as the work being carried out at the University to comprehensively support students.

During the presentation, 13 students from our University showcased their business ideas and start-up projects, mainly related to the fields of tourism and cultural heritage. In particular, the University's master's student Farog‘at Olimjonova presented the project “Silk Road Craft Hub” – a platform for the commercialization of handicraft products. This start-up attracted great interest from commercial banks and entrepreneurs, and its financing is planned.

The event was organized within the framework of the “Step to the Future” program, during which graduates presented innovative proposals, entrepreneurial initiatives, and practical projects that meet the requirements of the modern labor market.
