Data Centre & Digital Infrastructure
Access and coordination for data centre and digital infrastructure investment across Uzbekistan and the wider CIS.
The principle
The largest technology companies on earth are placing their next generation of infrastructure not in the places you would expect, but along a corridor most capital has not yet noticed. Central Asia has the two things artificial intelligence needs most and the established markets have run short of: land at scale, and electricity that is both abundant and cheap.
Uzbekistan has moved decisively. By presidential decree it has created a dedicated zone in Karakalpakstan for AI and data centre projects, with an incentive package built for serious capital: for investments above one hundred million dollars, full exemption from value added, profit, property and land taxes and from customs duties until 2040, a zero rate on dividends paid to foreign shareholders, and electricity fixed at five cents per kilowatt hour, among the lowest rates in the region. Where an investor contributes a quarter of the capital themselves, the state builds the external infrastructure, the power, roads, water and fibre, around them.
Beckon does not sell this investment and does not promise its returns. What we do is open the door and hold it. We convene the authorities, the counsel and the on-ground partners; we structure the entry so the incentives actually apply; and we manage the relationship through construction and beyond. For a family considering a position in the infrastructure the next decade will run on, the difficulty is rarely the capital. It is knowing whom to call, and being certain the person who answers is the right one. That is precisely what we are.
What we arrange
01
Direct introduction to the IT Park and the relevant offices administering the Karakalpakstan zone, and their counterparts across the wider CIS, so a serious enquiry reaches the people who actually decide rather than a general inbox.
02
Coordination with counsel who understand the residency and the qualifying thresholds, so an entry is built to actually receive the tax and customs exemptions rather than to discover, late, that it does not.
03
The one hundred million dollar threshold, the twenty five percent own-capital condition that unlocks state-built infrastructure, and the direct international payment arrangements that bypass local currency friction, mapped clearly before anything is committed.
04
Land allocation, the design, procure and build pathway, power and connectivity, and the local operating company, coordinated through partners on the ground so the project has a reliable presence between visits.
05
Where the fit is better elsewhere, the same coordination across the broader Central Asian and CIS corridor, including Kazakhstan's data centre programmes, matched to the profile of the investment rather than to a single map.
The Beckon standard

Questions, answered once
No. Beckon is a concierge, not a fund or a financial promoter. We open and coordinate access, the authorities, the counsel, the structuring, the on-ground management, and we are candid that the investment itself, and its risks and returns, sit with the investor and their own advisers. What we remove is the friction of not knowing whom to call.
A specific and unusually generous incentive package, set by presidential decree. For projects above one hundred million dollars in the Karakalpakstan zone, exemption from value added, profit, property and land taxes and from customs duties until 2040, zero dividend tax for foreign shareholders, and fixed electricity at five cents per kilowatt hour. Where the investor puts in at least a quarter of the capital, the state builds the surrounding infrastructure. The facts are a matter of public record; we help you act on them correctly.
Uzbekistan's Karakalpakstan zone is the flagship because its incentives are the most defined, but the same opportunity runs along a wider corridor, Kazakhstan's data centre programmes among them, as global technology and capital move into Central Asia. We coordinate across the corridor and match the jurisdiction to the investment rather than the other way round.
With a private conversation and no commitment. We set out the opportunity honestly, including what it is not, introduce the right counsel, and only then, if it fits, open the doors to the authorities and partners. Nothing is committed until the structure and the thresholds are fully understood.
By call, message or WhatsApp to your concierge. There is no form, no ticket number and no queue. One line is enough to begin.
Membership is offered by application and invitation, and the fee is confirmed once we understand what you need. The room is kept deliberately small each year, and not every application is accepted. Beckon Black is by invitation only. Service costs are always billed separately at actuals, with no commissions and no markups.
No. Vendor and supplier invoices are passed to you exactly as received. Beckon is paid by your membership, which is why our recommendation is never for sale.
Beckon members have a named relationship manager, concierge hours from eight in the morning to midnight seven days a week, and an urgent line at any hour for genuine emergencies. Beckon Black members have their relationship manager available at every hour for anything.
Every request is held by a single named concierge. Details are not circulated internally, staff are bound by confidentiality undertakings, and Beckon signs a non disclosure agreement with any member who asks.
No. Membership is limited instead. We keep the house small so that no concierge is ever carrying more than they can hold properly.
Yes. Our members live and travel across London, Dubai, Singapore, Zurich, New York and the Mediterranean, and we hold relationships in each.
Through introduction by an existing member, or through an application read personally by our secretary. Every applicant meets us before an invitation is extended.
A private conversation
A line, a call or a message is enough. Your concierge will ask what is necessary and take the rest from there.
