– Our company has been operating for two years, and now we have decided to obtain the status of the resident of Technopark of Yanka Kupala State University of Grodno. I believe that this will give our business a new impetus for development. In addition, we employ university students, and it may be easier for them to promote the ideas of some of their projects on the basis of the Technopark. By the way, we are engaged in the development of software products. And recently we have been thinking about creating an IT product that would benefit the Belarusian society. The project we are working on now will help public organizations or associations to take into account, form, make any samples, get analytics based on machine learning algorithms and keep a competent record of members of their organizations, which will facilitate and speed up the work of administrators. Members of these organizations will also have access to information about what membership fees they pay, what benefits and preferences they can count on.
