INTEGRATING INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES WITH DATA SCIENCE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF NATIONAL ECONOMIC SECTORS

This article analyzes the opportunities, mechanisms, and economic outcomes of integrating information and communication technologies (ICT) and Data Science into the sectors of Uzbekistan's national economy. Within the framework of the "Digital Uzbekistan – 2030" strategy, tasks are set to expand digital infrastructure, workforce training, and the data exchange ecosystem. These reforms aim to increase labor productivity, value-added growth, and the quality and security of services across various sectors. The research design applied an indicator system, composite indices, regression analysis, and a policy roadmap matrix. Empirically, an "ICT+DS composite index" was calculated for sectors based on ICT penetration and DS adoption scores and then analyzed in relation to labor productivity. The results demonstrate that sectors with strong ICT+DS synergy exhibit significantly higher productivity and value-added growth. The conclusion and recommendations section proposes practical measures with clear KPIs in areas such as infrastructure, workforce, data management, and regulation. The strategic implications integrate public policy, business decisions, and the academic research agenda.
