Main Article Content
Abstract
Crowdfunding in Uzbekistan is emerging as an innovative alternative to traditional financing methods, particularly for startups, social enterprises, and creative projects. This article explores the current trends, challenges, and future prospects of crowdfunding in the country. Digitalization, youth engagement, and diaspora support are key drivers of this development, while regulatory gaps and limited financial infrastructure remain obstacles. The study highlights how crowdfunding can empower entrepreneurship, strengthen civil society, and foster inclusive economic growth in Uzbekistan, provided that adequate legal frameworks, digital tools, and public awareness initiatives are established and supported.
