Uspace.uz at Iftor Network Event: How Ramadan Unites Uzbekistan's Tech Ecosystem
On February 26, 2026, the Uspace.uz team participated in one of the season's most memorable events — the Iftor Network Event. The gathering brought together investors, startup founders, and representatives from leading organizations within Uzbekistan’s technological ecosystem.
Iftar as a Networking Format: Tradition Meets Innovation
Iftar — the evening meal with which Muslims break their daily fast during the month of Ramadan — has long evolved beyond a religious tradition into a powerful catalyst for uniting people around shared values.
The event organizers successfully blended the spiritual essence of the moment with a business networking format, creating an environment where professional discussions flowed naturally alongside sincere human connection.
Organizers and Participants: Who is Behind the Event
The Iftor Network Event was organized through the joint efforts of four key ecosystem players:
- SQB Ventures — The venture capital arm of one of Uzbekistan’s largest banks, actively investing in the country's tech startups.
- MOST C-Space Hub — An innovation hub providing startups with infrastructure, mentorship, and access to a partner network.
- Justart Venture Studio — A venture studio helping entrepreneurs build tech companies from the ground up.
- UNDP Uzbekistan — The United Nations Development Programme, supporting sustainable development and innovation at an international level.
This lineup spoke for itself: the event attracted high-level participants, ranging from government officials to private investors and founders of ambitious startups.
Event Highlights
While awaiting the Iftar, guests actively networked, exchanged contacts, and discussed the latest trends in the tech industry. The atmosphere was truly vibrant: some demonstrated product prototypes on laptops right at the table, while others scheduled follow-up meetings and preliminary deals.
For Uspace.uz, this event served as another confirmation of its vital mission: to be part of a living, evolving ecosystem where coworking is not just a workspace, but a gravity point for the people changing Uzbekistan.
Why Such Events Matter
A technological ecosystem is built on more than just investments and products; it is built on trust, personal connections, and shared values.
Meetings like the Iftor Network Event create the invisible social capital that eventually converts into partnerships, deals, and joint projects.
The Iftar format adds a layer of sincerity. When people meet not only for business goals but also to share a meal during a special time of year, a different level of mutual understanding is reached.
