"We have certain results and there is room for improvement"

Sasha Wunsch-Vincent, Head of the Department of Economics and Statistics of the World Intellectual Property Organization, co-editor of the Global Innovation Index report:- If we talk about Uzbekistan, it is very important to note the positive dynamics of development. It is worth noting the positive processes taking place in the country.We know that Uzbekistan invests in innovation. If we consider this country from the point of view of investment policy, then, of course, it differs from many countries with a similar geographical position.The country has the potential to attract investment, but so far it is not a platform for foreign direct investment or a platform where enterprises would transfer production. In this regard, the image of the country at the international level can play a significant role. It can be assessed, among other things, according to international ratings, according to which one can have an idea of   what foreign companies are present here, as well as opportunities for investors.Let me thank the Minister of Innovative Development for the path we have traveled together. We have certain results and there is room for improvement.
