The Uzbekistan Creative Association (UzCA) has launched the UzCA Game Fund, introducing Uzbekistan’s first dedicated investment fund for game developers alongside the country’s first publishing and marketing support program for game studios.
The initiative is designed to support developers at different stages of growth through two separate funding tracks: an Investment Tier and a Publishing & Marketing Tier.
The Investment Tier provides funding ranging from $1,000–2,000 for early-stage concepts, $5,000–20,000 for studios with projects in development, and $50,000–100,000 or more for studios with proven revenue. Funding will be provided through revenue-sharing and equity-based investment models.
Meanwhile, the Publishing & Marketing Tier targets studios seeking commercial support rather than direct investment. The program offers services including App Store Optimization (ASO), store optimization, user acquisition and marketing budget support, distribution opportunities, cross-promotion, and full publishing partnerships.
According to UzCA, the Game Fund marks the beginning of a broader initiative to strengthen Uzbekistan’s game development ecosystem. The association also announced plans for the upcoming Creative Generation Fund, which will further expand investment opportunities for the country’s game industry.
Applications for the UzCA Game Fund are now open through the program’s official website.
