Innovation Program 2026-2030 approved

The State Program for Innovative Development for 2026–2030 has been approved in Belarus.

Minister Alexander Lukashenko signed a decree in which the program's framework and goals were formulated taking into account proposals from scientists and experts. As a result of implementing the 2021–2025 program, over 50 innovative projects were successfully completed, and science-intensive and high-tech products worth 17.4 billion Belarusian rubles were created, of which 6.1 billion were exported.

In the new five-year period, organizations of all ownership forms will participate in projects to create new production facilities with priority areas of scientific and technical activities. This will help develop the country's own scientific and technological potential, replace critical imports, and strengthen technological sovereignty.

By 2030, the share of innovation-active organizations is planned to increase to 45%, the volume of product exports is expected to reach 9 billion Belarusian rubles, of which at least 2 billion will come from residents of technology parks.
