Innovative transformation has become a key factor in ensuring sustainable economic growth and strengthening national competitiveness in the global knowledge-based economy. This study examines the conceptual foundations of innovative transformation processes in Uzbekistan and analyzes the main factors influencing the development of an innovation-driven economic system. The research is based on theoretical approaches related to innovation economics, national innovation systems, and institutional development. Particular attention is given to the role of technological modernization, digital transformation, human capital development, and innovation infrastructure in shaping Uzbekistan’s innovation ecosystem. The study proposes a conceptual model that integrates institutional reforms, financial support mechanisms, and collaboration between research institutions, universities, and the private sector. The findings indicate that strengthening coordination among key actors of the national innovation system and improving the commercialization of scientific research are essential for accelerating innovation processes. The proposed model may contribute to improving innovation policy and supporting Uzbekistan’s transition toward a sustainable innovation-based economy.
