About

M360 Eurasia - Building the digital backbone of a future‑ready Eurasia

As Central Asia enters a decisive phase in its digital evolution, the region is moving beyond early digitalisation toward large‑scale, interoperable systems that can power economic transformation. From digital public infrastructure and instant payments to multi‑orbit broadband and secure networks, technology is no longer a support layer, it is the engine of competitiveness, resilience and inclusion.

M360 Eurasia 2026 brings together leaders from government, telecoms, satellite technology, fintech and industry to explore how the region can unlock the next stage of digital acceleration.

Anchored in the region’s momentum, from Uzbekistan’s Digital Uzbekistan – 2030 to growing cross‑border trade corridors, the event will spotlight the governance models, policy frameworks and technology architectures required to scale secure, trusted and investment‑grade digital ecosystems.

From closing the last‑mile connectivity gap to defending national digital assets in a new era of cyber risk, M360 Eurasia 2026 is where strategy meets execution and where the region’s digital future takes shape.
