In our current, rapidly digitalizing world, data is no longer just a technical by-product ? it is a core driver of economic growth, public innovation and international cooperation. For countries such as Kazakhstan, the Republic of Korea and Uzbekistan, which are navigating different stages of digital transformation, cross-border data collaboration offers both a necessity and a strategic opportunity. This report, developed under the guidance of the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP), lays out a practical and forward-looking road map for deepening data cooperation between the three countries. Rather than offering abstract recommendations, it focuses on concrete, actionable frameworks that consider each country’s strengths, gaps and political realities.
