A Growing Pipeline

SMOMT is the first project. It is not the only one.

The Association intends to actively develop and support a continuing pipeline of initiatives across all three of its sectors, including:

  • Generic and branded pharmaceutical manufacturing partnerships — technology transfer and contract manufacturing arrangements consistent with Uzbekistan’s localization incentives.
  • Bioequivalence laboratory development — directly addressing the gap identified in the World Bank’s 2026 Country Private Sector Diagnostic.
  • Medical device distribution and local assembly — particularly in cardiology, diagnostics, and imaging, the fastest-growing device segments in the market.
  • Cosmetics ingredient sourcing and contract manufacturing — leveraging Uzbekistan’s agricultural and natural raw-material base against rising regional and export demand for natural and organic formulations.
  • Digital health and diagnostics — aligned with Uzbekistan’s national AI strategy, which includes healthcare analytics and digital government health services.
  • Regional expansion — extending the Uzbekistan model to Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan as the platform matures.
