Domestic scientific developments find almost no application in the real sector of the economy. The main reason for this is bureaucracy related to obtaining permits and registering new products.
Implementation problems and labor shortages
According to NISI Director Shumkarbek Adilbek uulu, government agencies responsible for implementing innovations work in a fragmented manner. This creates barriers to transitioning scientific ideas into production. For example, in the agricultural sector, fertilizers or preparations based on Kyrgyzstani developments are almost non-existent in the market.
Parallel to the technological issue, the problem of qualified personnel is acute. Investors launching new plants face a shortage of local engineers, especially in the regions, which forces them to attract specialists from abroad.
Measures to bridge science and production
To resolve the current situation, NISI has developed an action plan aimed at integrating science, business, and production. As part of this initiative, university representatives visited the Kyrgyz Industry enterprise, which is under the jurisdiction of the Presidential Administration's Management Department.
