The rapid development of digital technologies, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Industry 5.0 has created new opportunities for enhancing inclusive education in higher education institutions. This study proposes a Smart Inclusive University model based on the integration of Higher Education Management Information Systems (HEMIS), Learning Management Systems (LMS), Big Data, Learning Analytics, AI, and Assistive Technologies into a unified digital ecosystem for managing inclusive education services. A mixed-method research approach, including system and comparative analysis, econometric forecasting, regression analysis, expert assessment, and international benchmarking, was employed. Drawing on international experience and the context of Uzbekistan, the study presents a five-stage digital ecosystem together with an organizational-economic implementation mechanism. The proposed model supports the creation of digital learner profiles, early identification of academic risks, personalized learning pathways, and data-driven decision-making through the application of Learning Analytics and Artificial Intelligence.
