Agenda

As global competition for engineering talent intensifies and labor costs continue to rise, game studios are under pressure to scale efficiently without compromising quality. But what if your next 100 developers could cost significantly less — while remaining fully compliant, internationally structured, and strategically positioned for growth?

In this session, the High Technology Park of the Kyrgyz Republic will present a practical framework for building a tax-optimized game development structure in Kyrgyzstan. Attendees will learn how international studios are leveraging a special legal and tax regime designed specifically for tech companies — offering 0% VAT, 0% sales tax, and reduced income tax rates — while maintaining global operations and IP ownership abroad.

We will break down how foreign game companies can register developers, establish compliant structures, reduce operational overhead, access a fast-growing pool of highly skilled engineers, and seize other international business opportunities. Real-world examples, onboarding steps, and operational considerations will be shared to provide a clear pathway from exploration to launch.
