Bringing the 2026 event to Samarkand-historically a crossroads of Eurasian exchange-underscores the government's ambition to make Uzbekistan a platform for modern digital cooperation, innovation, and investment across the region.
Sherzod Shermatov, Minister of Digital Technologies, Republic of Uzbekistan said: We are honored to welcome the mobile ecosystem to Samarkand, a city that has connected cultures, ideas and trade across Eurasia for centuries.

We look forward to a productive dialogue between policymakers and industry leaders in Samarkand.
Kaan Terzioglu, Beeline Uzbekistan Chairman and VEON Group CEO said: Central Asia is fast becoming a focal point of AI-driven digital development in the emerging world. The 2025 edition of M360 Eurasia in Tashkent captured this energy, bringing together leaders from across the wider region. We are proud to again join the GSMA and Uzbekistan's Ministry of Digital Technologies to bring M360 Eurasia 2026 to Samarkand and showcase the region's growing potential.
John Hoffman, CEO, GSMA Ltd., said: Hosting M360 Eurasia 2026 in Samarkand reflects our continued commitment to supporting digital transformation and cross-regional collaboration across Eurasia.
