This article focuses on the urgent need for the development of a creative economy in the Republic of Uzbekistan and explores the fundamental principles that underpin the creation and expansion of the creative industry. As Uzbekistan undergoes rapid economic modernization, the creative economy — encompassing sectors such as arts, media, design, cultural heritage, and digital content — holds significant potential to drive innovation, diversify income sources, and contribute to sustainable national growth. The study examines the institutional, economic, and social frameworks necessary for fostering a thriving creative industry, including intellectual property protection, talent development, market access, and financing mechanisms. Special attention is given to the critical role of state support in shaping the creative sector’s growth, with a focus on public policy, funding programs, cultural initiatives, and educational reforms aimed at nurturing creative skills and entrepreneurship. Furthermore, the article explores the interplay between the creative industry and the digital economy, highlighting how digital platforms, e-commerce, and technological innovations can accelerate creative production, enhance international competitiveness, and open new global markets for Uzbek creators. By drawing on both local contexts and global best practices, the research identifies practical pathways for Uzbekistan to build a dynamic and inclusive creative economy that not only preserves cultural heritage but also fuels forward-looking economic transformation. The study concludes by offering recommendations on policy interventions and strategic investments that can empower the creative sector to become a key pillar of Uzbekistan’s long-term development agenda.
