Head of the Grodno region Vladimir Karanik got acquainted with the possibilities of the Science and Technology Park of Yanka Kupala State University

The Chairman of the Grodno Regional Executive Committee spoke with residents and discussed the prospects for the development of the Technopark with the University management.
Currently, the construction of a new building of the Science and Technology Park is going on. According to the regulatory deadlines, the completion of the second stage is scheduled for May 2021. Work is being carried out ahead of the schedule, and residents are actively forming a waiting list for office and industrial premises in the new building of the Technology Park. At the moment, the demand for office space is satisfied with 80 percent. All available space in the first building, which was opened two years ago, is already occupied by the residents.
– The main direction of economic development at the present stage is innovation, – the Chairman of the Grodno Regional Executive Committee Vladimir Karanik said during a visit to the Technology Park. – One of the obvious advantages of such Technology parks is that people of different interests and activities gather here. After all, it is at the intersection of the interests of representatives of different spheres that new, most interesting and breakthrough technologies are born.
The total area of the first building of Yanka Kupala State University Science and Technology Park is more than a thousand square meters. With the commissioning of the second stage of the Technology Park for creating innovative products, potential residents will have another 6.5 thousand square meters, while half of the area will be provided for organizing the production process.
– We will provide residents with technological opportunities, and they will be able to place their equipment here and produce an innovative product, –Yury Ramanouski, Vice-Rector for Science at Yanka Kupala State University commented. – At the moment, we continue to form a waiting list and accept applications from residents who wish to rent production facilities in the Technology Park. 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. The Chairman of the Grodno Regional Executive Committee was also told that a lot of work is being done at Yanka Kupala State University to attract students and teachers to innovative entrepreneurship during his visit to the Technology Park. Vladimir Karanik spoke with residents and noted that the region has a fairly good industrial potential and the most promising scientific developments, having been tested in small-scale production, can later be launched into large-scale industrial production at enterprises of the Grodno region. Thus, the Science and Technology Park can stimulate the emergence of innovative industries in the region and create new jobs.
