In 2024-2025, the total number of staff at WIUT, including academic, administrative and professional, equaled 485 people. Among them 213 staff members or 44 percent were women.

Out of 190 publications in 2024-2025, 40 percent of publications were published by female faculty members.

We are thrilled to announce the launch of the StartHER Programme, introduced as part of the 5 Important Initiatives framework put forward by the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan, Shavkat Mirziyoyev, to empower female entrepreneurs! This programme equips WIUT’s female students with essential skills, resources, and networks crucial for their entrepreneurial development.

The event brought together our female students and alumni, creating an atmosphere charged with enthusiasm. Participants engaged actively, posed insightful questions, and shared their personal entrepreneurial journeys, enriching the collective experience.

Additionally, the interns from the innoWIUT Entrepreneur's Lab inspired attendees by sharing their success stories and offering practical advice. Their contributions sparked motivation among participants to take bold steps in their entrepreneurial pursuits. The session was rich with valuable insights, and we look forward to witnessing how these ideas will influence the future paths of our participants.
