Economic Cooperation Forum participants to visit Minsk City Technopark

After the plenary session, participants and guests of the V International Economic Cooperation Forum, which takes place in Minsk on September 11, will head to the Minsk City Technopark. During the visiting session, a presentation of a new large-scale platform and an inspection of the exhibition of residents are planned, the correspondent of the Minsk-Novosti agency reports.

- Guests of the forum will see not only the production site itself, but also the accompanying infrastructure located nearby. We will show new brand stores that have opened here recently, where Belarusian goods are sold. And of course, we will show you the places where you can place your engineering infrastructure – all this can be seen with your own eyes. Participants will be able to get acquainted with the products of residents of the technopark, literally feel it, and directly communicate with manufacturers. We will go to some production facilities, show how all this is arranged, said Vladimir Davidovich, Director of the Minsk City Technopark.

He stressed that Minsk cooperates with many countries and has long-standing partnerships.

- Among the guests are those whom we have known for more than a decade, they came to the forum in a new capacity. For example, Alexander Okunev, Director General of the Innovation Entrepreneurship Development Fund from Moscow, who previously worked in Skolkovo, and our personal contacts last a very long time. In addition, our colleagues from St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region, representing large industrial parks, arrived. We'll show them how we work. Our Russian partners are also looking for customers to organize production in their region. I think that if our technologies are actively developed in St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region, it will be very good for our country, concluded V. Davidovich.

It should be noted that the forum has already brought serious practical results to the site. A large package of documents on cooperation in the innovation sphere was signed. The cooperation agreements were signed by the director of the Minsk City Technopark, the general director of FRIP (Moscow), Alexander Okunev, the general director of the Kirish Service Company (Levoberezhny Industrial Park), Sergey Azizov, and the executive director of the Nevsky Financial and Construction Corporation (IP Razmetelev Industrial Park) Oleg Abramov.

At the same time, the vector of technological exchange was strengthened by the Association of Technoparks and Innovators: Yaroslav Grebenshchikov, Chairman of the Association, signed three similar partnership agreements with the Chinese company ZKIKH Amed Technology (Director for Foreign Cooperation Henry Hyo Doway), as well as with the aforementioned industrial parks of St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region to launch joint import-substituting projects.
