High Tech Park

High-Tech Park is one of the largest IT clusters in Central and Eastern Europe. The uniqueness of the OEM is the successful combination of high-quality technical education, a high level of professionalism of IT specialists and state support for the IT industry. And this is not said of eloquence, since in 2005 President of the Republic of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko signed Decree No. 12 “On the High-Tech Park,” created to create favorable conditions for the development of software, information and communication technologies in the Republic of Belarus, aimed at improving the competitiveness of the national economy.

Investing in information technology in Belarus

The creation of the High Technology Park stimulates the opening of companies in the IT sector, which will further contribute to the fact that many large foreign software manufacturers will create their subsidiaries and branches in the Republic of Belarus. And this will contribute to the development of the domestic market.

International IT companies in Belarus

There are more than a thousand IT companies in Belarus, respectively, many of them work in the international market. All of the above companies are international, but the list would not be complete if organizations like Belhard, Softclub and ISsoft were not mentioned.

Blockchain technology in Belarus

The National Bank of Belarus is actively stimulating the introduction of new technologies in the banking system. As for the blockchain, today a register of bank guarantees is already operating on its basis. But we can still say that Belarus is at the beginning of the way.

What is blockchain?

Blockchain is an information system which algorithm is designed to reliably store information about events and transactions and to ensure the integrity and immutability of operations. That is a kind of way of keeping an accounting register. The introduction of blockchain technology should have a positive impact both on the sphere of receiving payments and on the implementation of settlements and money transfers.

Cryptocurrency

Cryptocurrency is a kind of practical implementation of blockchain technology. Cryptocurrency does not have a physical form, it exists only in the electronic network in the form of data. An exchange through a cryptocurrency takes place in much the same way as an exchange of emails, hence much less processing time than through a bank, minimal fees and the absence of an intermediary.

Association of Distributed Registry Technologies

The Distributed Registry Technologies Association is the first blockchain association in Belarus to consolidate the efforts of companies working with blockchain technology for its further development and distribution. The organization is fully confident that its application can be successful not only in various sectors of the economy and business, but also in the social sphere.

Belarus in the blockchain and cryptocurrency regulation index
