Strenghtening The Role of Science and Technology Parks on The Development of The Textile Industry of Uzbkistan
Abstract
With the increasing influence of globalization and rapid technological progress, innovative infrastructure emerges as a critical driver for boosting the productivity and expansion of various sectors. This study focuses on evaluating the influence of innovative infrastructure on Uzbekistan's textile industry while exploring strategies to enhance its efficiency. The research examines ongoing infrastructure initiatives, highlights key challenges, and suggests practical measures to maximize the impact of innovation in this field. Employing a mixed methods approach that integrates both qualitative and quantitative analysis, this paper aims to deliver an in-depth perspective on how innovative infrastructure can stimulate growth, enhance competitiveness, and promote sustainable development within Uzbekistan’s textile sector. The outcomes of this research will provide meaningful guidance for policymakers, industry professionals, and academics engaged in innovation and industrial advancement.
