Creativity and innovation: BlogBy forum visits Hi-Tech Park
The I Forum of Bloggers of Belarus visits Hi-Tech Park. The participants have had a unique opportunity not only to discuss current trends, but also to immerse themselves in the world of innovative technologies presented by HTP residents.
The I Forum of Bloggers of Belarus “Blog.By. We have something to say!” is held at the National Children's Technopark on September 27 - 28, 2024. The event for the first time brought together more than 150 representatives of the country’ blogging community.
Under the guidance of experienced mentors, including political observers, journalists and media executives, the Forum participants visit thematic platforms and develop unique media projects.
The Forum is organized by the Ministry of Information of Belarus with the support of the Ministry of Education of Belarus and Beltelecom.
In the business incubator, the bloggers met with Kirill Zalessky, Deputy Director of Hi-Tech Park, who talked about the Park and its achievements.
Among the technologies presented by the residents was the Belarusian messenger Depesha by Fox3 LLC, which over three years has evolved into a full-fledged tool for communication with convenient functionality and a high level of security.
The bloggers also try out the BY Guide mobile application developed by the HTP startup. This app offers fascinating routes around Belarus and audio guides to iconic landmarks, turning every trip into an educational experience.
Sensory innovations from Tehno-Sky LLC are presented at the event, including electronic queues and navigation systems for shopping centers. “Navigation in almost every shopping center, electronic queues in state institutions, clinics, information stands in banks and interactivity in museums – these are all developments of our Belarusian company! It is impressive!”, – the Forum participants are surprised.
The guests are interested in the innovative video intercom developed by Gmartikun for the “smart home” system for construction, housing and communal services. It allows to see through smartphone everyone who rings the doorbell, even if no one is home, and makes it possible to let visitors in remotely.
Medical technology is also presented: the startup Icube demonstrates CardioX, a mobile cardiac monitor that monitors heart rhythm and helps users keep their health under control. Unlike massive holters, the CardioX compact cardiograph can be used in everyday life as a regular fitness bracelet and track your condition constantly. To get an accurate picture of the heart muscle function data processing is facilitated by artificial intelligence technology. The CardioX users can use a mobile application with secure cloud data storage.
At Hi-Tech Park bloggers can also try to drive a tractor or a harvester, though their digital copies. Bloggers test the development of the company Mind Games Software – a cabin VR/AR simulator. The company's portfolio includes also a whole set of other popular solutions for professional training and life safety.
The meeting at HTP is not only a platform for the presentation of innovative solutions, but also a place of experience exchange between bloggers and representatives of the startup movement. The guests are told about the support for aspiring IT entrepreneurs and the importance of creativity in business.
As a result, two and a half hours at HTP business incubator flew by unnoticed, leaving the participants inspired with ideas for creating quality content about the IT industry and Belarusian IT products. On the final day of the Forum, participants presented and defended their video projects at the National Children's Technopark.
