It identifies inherent challenges such as information asymmetry and resource scarcity, while also examining the current state of Uzbekistan's venture market and defining the prospects for its development under the conditions of forming digital sovereignty. The research explores the "Smart Capital" concept, investment stages, and systemic barriers within Uzbekistan's ecosystem.
