Conditions for IT industry development in Belarus praised

12.10.2020

Proper conditions for the work of the IT industry have been enabled in Belarus.

Prerequisites for further growth are also available. Director of the IT company PandaDoc Dmitry Rabtsevich made the statement on the air of the TV channel Belarus One as he commented on results of the conversation with Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko in the pretrial detention center of the State Security Committee (KGB), BelTA has learned.

Dmitry Rabtsevich believes that all the conditions for paying normal salaries, for growing, and for building the future together are available in Belarus' Hi-Tech Park.

The executive said: “It seems to me an IT country has been built: there is a foothold, knowledge, skills of the personnel, there are good conditions, in particular, the Digital Economy Development Ordinance and tax preferences, that allow the industry to develop in the future the way it develops now. All the conditions have been enabled for doing business. The Digital Economy Development Ordinance may be amended.”

Dmitry Rabtsevich also admitted he had been surprised by Aleksandr Lukashenko's visit to the KGB pretrial detention center. “The format of the conversation was not intensive, it was simple. The atmosphere was supposed to shape a dialogue about a way out of the situation, to air ideas regarding amendments to the constitutional system. A dialogue took place,” he specified. He mentioned future economic development as one of the key matters that were also discussed.

“I am going to work and develop. It is probably the main message I've come to realize,” he concluded.
