Lukashenko pays a visit to Prokopeni and Gutseriyev's office, guaranteeing assistance in the realm of information technology.
In a recent visit to Minsk, President Alexander Lukashenko showcased his commitment to bolstering Belarus' IT sector and related high-tech industries.
During his tour of companies such as LLC "Banuba Development" and LLC "I-X-P Capital", Lukashenko was briefed on their promising developments in the fields of augmented reality and artificial intelligence. The President expressed his readiness to support the IT sector where necessary and simplify processes to foster growth.
Lukashenko's plans for the IT sector are part of a broader strategy to promote science, technology, and defense-related industries. This strategy aims to reduce import dependence and increase the scientific contribution to Belarus' GDP.
One key element of Lukashenko’s plans is the start of a five-year plan focused on boosting science intensity across academic, industrial, and university sectors. This plan emphasizes import substitution and raising the scientific contribution to GDP, implying a strengthening of the high-tech and IT sectors as part of the broader innovation ecosystem.
The President also plans to deepen cooperation with China, particularly in missile production and defense technologies. This cooperation may facilitate technology transfers and development of IT capabilities embedded in defense production.
Belarus is also increasing its role in drone manufacturing through joint ventures with Russia, Iran, and China. Though primarily military, these efforts support advanced electronics, software, and automation sectors, which are closely related to the IT industry.
Lukashenko's emphasis on import substitution and scientific advancement suggests that government-led programs and regulations will promote local IT firms and research institutions. However, specific regulatory acts dedicated solely to IT sector development have not been detailed in the latest public reports.
The state is expected to adopt necessary regulatory acts to determine conditions for organizations in the IT sector, likely including incentives, funding, and infrastructure investments within state frameworks. Transparency and legality are key requirements for businesses in the IT sector in Belarus.
Belarus also pursues broader cooperation, such as with Ethiopia, involving technology transfer and training, which could create further opportunities for IT sector expansion through partnerships and exports.
In conclusion, Lukashenko’s plans for the IT sector are embedded within a larger state strategy promoting science, technology, and defense-related industries. The future in Belarus looks promising for the IT sector, with the state set to provide further support and create a conducive regulatory environment for growth.
