As an active citizen of this country and a leader who works directly with youth, I was deeply pleased that in his holiday greetings, the Head of our state, Shavkat Mirziyoyev, declared 2024 the Year of Support for Youth and Business.

Particular attention that will be paid in the new year to the issues of attracting foreign investment into our economy, creating ample opportunities for the development of entrepreneurship and private property, science, innovation, green and digital technologies will be the next big step toward creating new jobs and increasing incomes of the population and building New Uzbekistan.

Manufacturing textile products has one of the leading positions in the world industry. The range of products is expanding, and their requirements are increasing.

From 2022 to 2030, the global textile market will grow by 4% per year, and according to the forecasts of the Global Textile Market Size & Share Report, it will reach $1420.3 billion by 2030. The industry requires widespread adoption of advanced technologies.

Currently, the textile industry is the driver of Namangan region. This has become the basis for creating highly profitable jobs in the industry. The creation, on the initiative of the Head of state, of the Namangan Institute of Textile Industry has become a solid foundation for training personnel with modern knowledge capable of managing and applying advanced digital technologies in practice.

Declaring 2024 as the Year of Support for Youth and Business will give entrepreneurs several advantages in expanding their activities.

In short, the new year promises to be meaningful and fruitful for our country and people in all respects.

Rector of the Namangan Institute of Textile Industry, Professor.
