Ushbu tezis O‘zbekiston iqtisodiyotini o‘zgartirishda raqamli infratuzilmaning hal qiluvchi rolini hamda innovatsiyalarga asoslangan rivojlanish mamlakatning global raqobatbardoshligini qanday oshirishi mumkinligini o‘rganadi. O‘zbekiston o‘z iqtisodiyotini diversifikatsiya qilishga va an’anaviy sanoatga bog‘liqlikdan voz kechishga intilayotgan bir paytda raqamli texnologiyalar, yuqori tezlikdagi internet, ilmiy-tadqiqot va ishlanmalarga sarmoya kiritish muhim ahamiyat kasb etadi. Tezisda raqamli ekotizimlar va texnologik markazlarning iqtisodiy o'sishga ijobiy ta'sirini ta'kidlab, ilg'or iqtisodiyotlar misolida keltirilgan. Bundan tashqari, u O‘zbekistonning hozirgi raqamli landshaftini tahlil qiladi, takomillashtirish imkoniyatlarini, amalga oshirishdagi qiyinchiliklarni va mustahkam texnologiyaga asoslangan iqtisodiyotni yaratish salohiyatini aniqlaydi. Tadqiqot O‘zbekistonning raqamli transformatsiyasini jadallashtirish bo‘yicha siyosat bo‘yicha tavsiyalarni taqdim etadi, bunda asosiy e’tibor tadbirkorlik, malakali ishchi kuchi va xorijiy investitsiyalarni qo‘llab-quvvatlovchi innovatsiyalarga qulay muhit yaratishga qaratilgan.
