The Concept of Digital Economy Development in Turkmenistan for 2019-2025, outlines a strategic plan to integrate digital technologies into various sectors of the economy. This concept emphasises the modernisation of the country’s information and communication technologies (ICT) infrastructure and outlines the goals, objectives, and mechanisms for achieving a more digitally driven economy.

Key focus areas include the development of e-commerce, the introduction of digital platforms and services, and the improvement of local businesses’ competitiveness. Additionally, the program is structured in three phases: the establishment of a government body for overseeing the digital economy, the widespread adoption of digital services, and the integration of Turkmenistan into the global digital economy.

The concept is also focused on transforming and digitising the education system. Its goal is to enhance the effectiveness of all sectors of the economy and public life by utilising information technology. As part of this effort, the national education system is being modernised to integrate digital technologies into both teaching and learning. This includes the digitalisation of educational processes, the creation of national educational platforms and portals, and the development of professional, personal, and digital competencies.
