Infrastructure development is a critical factor in promoting the growth of small businesses and private entrepreneurship in any country. In Japan, the government has placed significant emphasis on infrastructure advancements to support the development of small businesses and private entrepreneurship. Advanced transportation networks, modern communication technologies, and efficient logistics systems are some of the infrastructure elements that have contributed to the competitiveness and success of small businesses in Japan. However, Uzbekistan, a country with a growing small business sector, faces significant infrastructure challenges. Inadequate transportation networks, limited access to affordable energy, and poor communication technologies are some of the key challenges faced by small businesses in the country. This article explores the infrastructure advancements made in Japan to support small businesses and private entrepreneurship and how they can be applied in Uzbekistan to support the growth of its small business sector. Through a literature review and analysis of relevant data, this article provides insights into how infrastructure advancements can foster the growth of small businesses and private entrepreneurship in Uzbekistan.
