“Technopark residents operate in a wide range of fields, producing high-tech goods that are in demand across many sectors of our economy,” Igor Sergeyenko said.
According to him, the state pays great attention to the dynamic development of this sector as one of the most successful areas of the country’s innovation policy.
A broad range of preferences has been created to support technoparks, including tax incentives, rental benefits and state-funded development of the material and technical base of innovation infrastructure entities, the speaker noted.
The meeting at the Minsk City Technopark was focused on the practical examination of law enforcement in the innovation sector.
The legal and organizational framework of the state innovation policy is enshrined in the law “On state innovation policy and innovation activity”, last amended four years ago, Igor Sergeyenko recalled. At the same time, he noted that there is currently no pressing need to introduce further changes, the existing legislation already covers the necessary provisions.
The Minsk City Technopark was chosen as a venue for monitoring law enforcement practices as it clearly demonstrates how legal norms and regulations work in practice.
According to the speaker, this research and production complex holds a key position in the development of innovative entrepreneurship in Belarus and makes a significant contribution to the sustainable development of the national economy. The MPs were able to see this firsthand touring the exhibition of technopark residents’ goods and visiting production facilities.
