The event is organized by the Center for Media Content Training under the Administration of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan, with support from partner organizations.

The online taxi service Uklon ranks second in the ride-hailing market in Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan, and 90% of its team in the country consists of local specialists, said Alexander Komarov, CEO and President of the Ukrainian mobile operator Kyivstar.
“Uklon is number two in the ride-hailing market in Tashkent, and Tashkent is already the second-largest market after Kyiv among all cities where Uklon operates. Ukrainian business knows how to move the world,” Komarov added on Facebook on Tuesday.
According to him, a meeting of Uklon’s supervisory board took place in the city.
In turn, Sergey Grishkov, CEO of the online taxi service, noted that a strategic workshop with the local team and the board was held as part of the working meetings.
“We came away with a clear understanding of where we’re heading next,” he emphasized.
According to Grishkov, Uklon has secured the second position over the past three years and has potential for growth.
“Experience competing with global players in Ukraine has shown that market position is determined by product quality, local adaptation, technology, and user trust,” he emphasized.
Uklon, which was consolidated into Kyivstar’s financial statements in April 2025, generated UAH 1.425 billion in revenue, or $32.9 million, in the first quarter of 2026. Its EBITDA amounted to UAH 538.9 million, or $12.4 million. The number of rides in the first quarter of 2026 was 43.7 million, and deliveries totaled 1.5 million.
As previously reported by the CEO of the online taxi service during a Forbes Ukraine Businessbreakfast, the most important task for Uklon, in partnership with Kyivstar, Ukraine’s largest mobile operator, is to identify significant synergies between the businesses. Specifically, starting in the second or third quarter of 2026, the companies will have offers that users will see.
