The X Forum "Time of Innovations" will be held in the capital of Uzbekistan on December 11–12, 2025 — an event dedicated to the technologies of the future and their impact on the global economy. The event will bring together experts, technology directors, and investors to discuss how innovations are reshaping industries and creating new markets.
Today, innovations have ceased to be local projects: they have become a key factor in global competitiveness. If earlier the focus was on the introduction of individual technological solutions, now the emphasis is shifting to:
· creating holistic ecosystems;
· transforming entire sectors of the economy.
Practical experience will be presented by experts from leading companies — Sber, Aeroflot, Rostelecom, Alfa‑Capital Management Company and Yandex. These organizations have already proven the effectiveness of innovative developments and have achieved tangible results.
The general partner of the forum — the HR platform "Pulse" (Sber) — will set one of the main vectors of discussion: how digital tools are rethinking people management, turning it into a strategic asset of the company.
Mikhail Shmyrov, head of the HR platform "Pulse", outlined the central theme:
"In 2025, the HR platform "Pulse" chose the key theme — "Effective HR: how digitalization is changing people management in 2026." The focus will be on technologies that transform learning, development, support for managers, and employee experience management."
