When you get to verse 6, you will read that Paul ordained Timothy to preach the Gospel. His laying on of hands (IMO) also caused Timothy to receive the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit, as this is how he did it to others.

6 Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands. (KJV)

CJB:

6 For this reason, I am reminding you to fan the flame of God's gift, which you received through s'mikhah from me.

(S’mikhah is the laying of hands, an event with an identifiable history, in the Scriptures going back to the time of Yitz’chak (Isaac), formalised by Moshe (Moses), and is a key function of the Body of Yeshua ) CJB Translated
Indeed. Paul actually references the indwelling holy Spirit a couple of times.
