According to the event organizers, the national final of the international street dance competition Red Bull Dance Your Style will take place on August 16, 2026, at 7:00 PM at the Alisher Navoi State Academic Grand Theatre in Tashkent, with support from Uzbekistan Creative Park.
The winner of this competition will represent Uzbekistan at the world final, which will be held in Switzerland. Sixteen leading dancers from the country will participate in the national final, selected based on the results of qualification rounds scheduled for August 14, 2026, in Tashkent.
Participant registration is open on the project's official website. Entry for spectators is free, but the event is only available to individuals aged 18 and over.
The Red Bull Dance Your Style competition is held in a one-on-one battle format, bringing together dancers of various street dance styles such as hip-hop, popping, krumping, and voguing. A key feature of the contest is the absence of pre-prepared routines; participants improvise to randomly selected music tracks.
Another distinguishing feature of the championship is the lack of a professional jury. The winner of each match is determined by the audience, who vote using red and blue cards to decide who advances and becomes the national champion.
The Red Bull Dance Your Style Championship has been held since 2019 and gathers dance communities from all over the world. In 2026, the competition takes place in 57 countries, including Uzbekistan, which hosts the national final for the second consecutive year.
Organizers emphasized that this event will serve not only as a competition for the country's best dancers but also as a major spectacle where spectators can support the participants and influence the choice of Uzbekistan's representative on the world stage.
In December 2026, Tashkent, Uzbekistan, will become a venue for international events, including the global final of the STEAM AHEAD 2026 Olympiad and the Young Achievers Leadership Academy program.
Sanjar Tadjiev, Deputy Chairman of the Tourism Committee of Uzbekistan, and Henry Ong, President of the Singapore International Master Competitions Centre (SIMCC), were involved in preparing for these events.
According to the Tourism Committee, the international events will last two weeks and are expected to attract over 3,000 talented schoolchildren, teachers, international experts, jury members, and representatives of official delegations from more than 40 countries.
During the meeting, the parties discussed the measures necessary to ensure a high level of organization for these events. The Tourism Committee noted that holding intellectual forums in December, which is traditionally a period of reduced seasonal activity in the global tourism market, should contribute to increasing the number of foreign guests, promoting business and MICE tourism, and strengthening Uzbekistan's attractiveness as a tourist destination.
The Committee also predicts that the arrival of participants and accompanying persons will increase demand for hotel services, transportation, catering, excursion services, and other tourism services, positively impacting economic activity in the tourism sector. Furthermore, the forum will demonstrate Uzbekistan's potential in intellectual, educational, and MICE tourism, while simultaneously strengthening Tashkent's status as an international platform for major events.
MOST Holding and Allosta Partners organized a closed business meeting in Tashkent, which was attended by entrepreneur and investor Margulan Seisembay.
The event took place on July 23 at the JW Marriott Hotel Tashkent and gathered 130 business owners, shareholders, investors, CEOs, and senior executives from leading companies in Uzbekistan and Central Asia.
The main focus of the meeting was on creating long-term value for businesses through systematic management and capitalization. Participants discussed how business owners can transition from operational management to building self-sufficient systems capable of autonomous development, as well as considering the importance of timely feedback for corporate growth and using investments not only to increase capital but also to ensure business sustainability in the long term.
A key moment of the program was the open discussion between Margulan Seisembay and MOST Holding CEO Pavel Koktyshev on the topic 'How to turn scale into capitalization in 2026'. During the event, Seisembay presented Allosta Partners and spoke about special situations markets as a promising area for investment.
Furthermore, the program included a pitching session for participants of the Investment Readiness Accelerator Tashkent program. Projects presented included Onay OQU, Bigmart.uz, Screenix AI, ORDO Education, and Uspace.
The meeting concluded with a networking session where participants exchanged views on potential partnerships, joint projects, and investment opportunities. Kapitalbank served as the strategic partner of the event, which, according to the organizers, serves over 2.5 million retail clients and more than 100,000 companies and entrepreneurs, supporting the development of the country's business and entrepreneurial ecosystem.
The organizers emphasized that this event is part of MOST Holding's mission. For over 14 years, the company has been developing an ecosystem of investment and innovation for technological entrepreneurship in Central Asia through investments, educational, and international initiatives aimed at attracting capital, scaling businesses, and strengthening long-term ties in the region.
