MINSK, 6 June (BelTA) - The task of the Hi-Tech Park (HTP) is to move forward using new forms and mechanisms, Belarus’ Prime Minister Aleksandr Turchin said at a meeting of the HTP Supervisory Board in Minsk on 6 June, BelTA has learned.
“The park is the achievement of our sovereign country, the brainchild of the president. The park was set up and is developing with his participation and assistance. Our task in the current moment is to move forward, using new forms, new mechanisms,” Aleksandr Turchin said.
Prime Minister introduced Head of the Secretariat of the Supervisory Board Anna Ryabova to those present at the meeting. He emphasized that despite the difficulties, the HTP is operating and developing. “Our task is to add impetus to this growth. Many things are changing in the world, especially in the digital world. It is important for us not to lag behind, to move forward,” he added.
Aleksandr Turchin emphasized the importance of implementing educational projects, as well as supporting the scientific community, so that more young people in various areas of the economy could get experience and support in improving their professional competencies at HTP.
“The park's secretariat should restructure to more active, intensive work, assist residents (and not only them) in development in every possible way,” Aleksandr Turchin emphasized.
The prime minister headed the HTP Supervisory Board. According to Anna Ryabova, this is a signal for closer attention. The park has gone through a period of geopolitical turbulence. “It is necessary to do another reassessment to see our strengths and weaknesses, to see which ones need to be further developed, which ones need to be compensated,” said Anna Ryabova.
One of the most important areas is reinvesting all the accumulated potential in traditional sectors of the economy.
“This is really a powerful resource. Our companies are widely interested in the domestic market. More than half of the companies declare interest in domestic resources. This is about 2,500 solutions that can be implemented on the domestic market. We will be building our work to open a transparent and intensive channel for all these solutions to enter our traditional industries,” Anna Ryabova added.
She also drew attention to the interaction with the education system and outlined the points of growth. The HTP will make efforts to form teams of developers and business youth to realize the set tasks.
The Hi-Tech Park has 1,026 residents, of which 30% are foreign development centers and product companies. More than 250 residents are product-oriented. 17 HTP residents have been established with state participation.
The number of new companies in the park continues to grow. A total of 139 new residents were registered in the HTP in 2024 and Q1 2025.
In Q1 2025 the number of employees in the HTP stood at about 59,000 specialists. This indicator increased compared to the same period of 2024 (up 7%).
In Q1 2025 the HTP production output and sales exceeded Br2 billion, up 12% compared with the same stretch a year ago. In 2024, the revenue of the HTP residents amounted to Br7.887 billion. The Hi-Tech Park retains its export orientation. In 2024, the park's exports amounted to $1.8 billion. In Q1 2025, these figures have already exceeded $459 million, showing a growth of 7% over the same period of the previous year.
Higher exports were ensured by resident companies’ efforts to expand the geography of foreign economic activity. The share of CIS countries (primarily the Russian Federation) in the total volume of HTP exports increased significantly.
The Belarusian market is attractive for the majority of the Hi-Tech Park residents. The amount of IT products and services sold by HTP residents in the domestic market of Belarus almost reached Br2 billion in 2024. Their revenue in the domestic market in the first quarter of 2025 increased by 24% compared to the same period last year to exceed Br500 million.
