I would like to remind you of the preferences that residents of the Science and Technology Park can expect: preferential rental of equipment and space, income tax at a lower rate, as well as the possibility of access to University scientific thought.

12 resident companies have already taken advantages provided by the Technology Park. By the way, almost half of them were opened by the staff and students of Yanka Kupala State University.
