Belarus launches first industry-focused technology park for light industry
The technology park will accelerate the transition of new products to mass production
Belarus is launching the country’s first technology park dedicated to the light industry sector. A modern business hub covering 54,000 square metres will include a testing laboratory, design bureau, shared-use centre and fashion coworking space. This was reported by the Belteleradiocompany, a TV BRICS partner.
The technology park is expected to strengthen the export potential of Belarusian light industry products and increase their competitiveness by creating a unified ecosystem for manufacturers, designers and investors. Cooperation with the park’s residents will provide access to advanced technologies and help speed up the launch of new footwear and clothing products into mass production.
“The technology park will host showrooms related to the light industry sector. It will become a scientific and practical centre with an operating laboratory, fashion design centres and small-scale production facilities. We will also provide services for private businesses to implement projects focused on the light industry,” said Dmitry Shupenko, CEO of a footwear manufacturing company.
Belarus has created 16 technology parks. A total of 266 residents operate at their facilities.
