The business delegation of the Ulyanovsk region of Russia, which included managers and specialists of more than 20 economic entities, visited the Minsk City Technopark on September 29, the correspondent of the Minsk-Novosti agency reports.

At the beginning of their visit, Russian entrepreneurs got acquainted with the history, industrial potential and localization of production of the anchor resident of the Minsk City Technopark - MotoVeloZavod, which specializes in the production of many models of bicycles and motorcycles.

First Deputy Chairman of the Minsk City Executive Committee Alexander Komendant addressed the guests from Russia:

- I would like to express my gratitude to the dealer project that you will show us today. Our relationship with the Ulyanovsk region has been for many years. We have examples of successful cooperation that show that we can work fruitfully for the benefit of the peoples of Russia and Belarus. This site of the Minsk City Technopark accumulates new technologies and forms future projects. I am sure that this meeting will bring certain fruits and results and will mark the beginning of new joint projects with the Ulyanovsk region, of which we will be proud.

Minister of Industry, Investments and Science of the Ulyanovsk Region Natalia Artemyeva told representatives of resident companies of the Minsk City Technopark about the cooperation of her region with Belarus.

- It is primarily expressed in numbers, she said. Our trade turnover increased by 41.5% in the first half of this year. Exports from Belarus to our region amounted to 15.5%, imports reached 17%. In general, our enterprises have room to grow, because we now import about 70% of our trade balance from Belarus.

Minsk City Technopark is the largest in Belarus, Vladimir Davidovich, its director, emphasized. - We have three operating sites. Now we are on Partizansky Prospekt, 8, which is relatively close to the city center. This 27.5-hectare site is the largest area of MHT. Street. Saltys site is smaller – 5.5 hectares, but it is dear to us, because there we worked out the technology of attracting our residents and accommodation in the technopark. This experience was then replicated. Third site on the street. Central, 47, is now in the stage of commissioning buildings and structures for industrial and innovative business. Our residents receive certain benefits and preferences that are regulated by law. To date, they are 86 business entities, the production volume of which is about 575 million BYN.

Then, the resident companies were presented with the production competencies of business partners from the Ulyanovsk region, after which they held joint negotiations.

- On the eve of the big event, the second International Industrial Exhibition INNOPROM. Belarus, which will be held in Minsk from September 30 to October 2, we are meeting with the business delegation of the Ulyanovsk region of Russia, the First Deputy Chairman of the Minsk City Executive Committee said at the end of the meeting. We have established long-standing relations with this region both in the economic, cultural and tourist spheres. It is nice that the delegation of the Ulyanovsk region arrived in Minsk in an expanded format. These are about 20 business entities that are interested in real cooperation with enterprises and companies of the capital of Belarus. Their program is very extensive, starting with the Minsk City Technopark. Communication is already underway for further interaction. Next, a meeting with the leadership of the Belarusian Railways will be held, where a discussion of transport links between the countries, as well as a visit to industrial enterprises of the capital will be held. I would also like to note that the program of the business visit of the delegation of the Ulyanovsk region is fully formed from the preferences and proposals of the Russian side.
