Turkmenistan has officially opened applications for "Digital Solution 2026," a prestigious national contest designed to support young programmers, developers, and innovators. The initiative aims to drive digital transformation and contribute to national economic growth by inviting participants to submit digital solutions tailored to the country's technological priorities.

Organized by the Ministry of Communication of Turkmenistan since 2020 as part of the Concept for the Development of the Digital Economy, the competition encourages youth to create modern software, innovative technology, and advanced digital frameworks. Contestants include school students, university students, and young professionals competing across seven main categories: Artificial Intelligence, Robotics and Automation, Smart Agriculture, Smart City Concepts, Digital Education and E-Learning, Digital Healthcare, and Modern Service Solutions.

An expert panel will evaluate all submitted projects. The winners will be formally announced and awarded at the end of the year during the annual "Türkmentel 2026" International Exhibition and Scientific Conference. Applications are currently being accepted online via the official telecom.tm web portal.
