IT education and IT industry

After creation of Hi-Tech Park Belarus has become one of the leading IT centers in the CIS and Eastern Europe. This is mostly due to the high level of IT education.

Various IT experts believe that large investment and flexibility in educational process are required to prepare good IT specialists. Active interaction between universities and HTP resident companies helps to achieve this goal.

Hi-Tech Park residents created and maintain more than 90 joint research and production laboratories based at universities. Moreover, residents developed and conduct targeted educational courses at specialized departments of universities. At the same time, more than 40 units of university departments were opened in the HTP residents’ offices and on the territory of Hi-Tech Park.

HTP residents actively invest in the education system. In particular, they supply equipment to universities, schools, lyceums, technical schools; contribute to organization of  seminars, republican and international competitions, conferences, Olympiads in physics, mathematics, informatics, trainings for teachers and students, as well as development of innovative entrepreneurship among young people.

Hi-Tech Park is actively involved in creating elements of a continuous personnel training system for the IT industry in Belarus: kindergarten – school – university, and in the regions, access to specialized supplementary education for children and young people is ensured.
