BISHKEK, Kyrgyzstan, October 17. The data processing center on renewable energy sources will be established in Kyrgyzstan, Trend reports via the Center for Public-Private Partnership (PPP) of Kyrgyzstan.
The agreement on consulting support for the preparation of a PPP project to create a data processing center on renewable energy sources was signed by the Ministry of Digital Development of Kyrgyzstan and the Asian Development Bank (ADB).
“This agreement marks a new stage of cooperation between Kyrgyzstan and ADB aimed at accelerating digitalization and the introduction of renewable energy sources in the country,” the statement of the PPP Center reads.
