The projects were evaluated by an expert jury composed of representatives of ministries, sectoral agencies of the country, and leading scientific centers. The judges gave due recognition to the developed solutions in accordance with the approved regulations, demonstrating their commitment to high standards in the field of digitalization.
As a result of the competition, prize-winners were determined in several categories, receiving valuable awards to support the further development of their projects.

The annual “Digital Solution” competition is not merely a contest, but a targeted platform for identifying, supporting, and encouraging talented young people whose ideas have the potential to transform existing processes and open new horizons for the country's development.
The goal of the competition is to attract young people to active participation in scientific and technical creativity, the development of new technologies and solutions, and to provide young innovators with a unique opportunity to receive expert evaluation, valuable recommendations, and—most importantly—a launchpad for implementing their projects.
Such events play an important role in shaping a strong and innovative IT ecosystem, ensuring Turkmenistan’s successful transition to a digital economy and supporting those who are ready to become its driving force.
