That is why the digital economy is one of the priority areas of development for the Republic of Tajikistan in modern conditions. In recent years, our country has been actively developing its digital sector at a high level. However, it is important to remember that the process of digitalization is the cause of transformations in both economy and society. This process can both create opportunities and pose significant challenges for sustainable development. Therefore, it is important to study, analyze, and determine current status and future prospects of digital economy development.

The current situation and future prospects of digital economy development for our country are of utmost importance.

In this regard, under the initiatives of the state leadership, we decided to establish a dialogue platform for exchanging views and discussing solutions to issues related to development of a digital economy and the use of modern technological opportunities with scientists, experts, and specialists in the field.

During the conference, distinguished scholars and professionals of the Republic of Tajikistan presented reports.

The experience of advanced countries shows that in the context of development of digital technologies, there are opportunities to improve other sectors of public life by utilizing them.
