Abstract
Data Science is a strategically important field in the modern world, playing a vital role in decision-making, accelerating innovation, and developing the digital economy. This article analyzes the opportunities and challenges of Data Science development in Uzbekistan. The study highlights current opportunities, including the introduction of specialized education programs, government digitalization policies, the growing interest of youth in technology, and the emergence of a startup ecosystem. At the same time, major barriers such as a shortage of qualified specialists, low data quality, weak data culture, and limited technical infrastructure are examined. The main objective of the article is to explore both the enabling factors and the constraints that affect the growth of Data Science in Uzbekistan and to develop scientific and practical recommendations for its advancement.
