Favorable conditions have been created in Belarus for foreign businessmen to work - foreign investor

May 20, Vitebsk / Diana Kurilo - BELTA /. Favorable conditions have been created in Belarus for foreign businessmen to work. This point of view was expressed in a conversation with a BELTA correspondent by Olga Kapatsivich, Director of OW PLUS (Czech Republic), a participant in the innovation and investment forum "Innovative Business - Investments in the Future," which is taking place today in Vitebsk. Belarusian and Czech enterprises and businessmen can cooperate in various fields, but production activities are the most effective, the businesswoman is sure. According to her assessment, favorable conditions have been created in Belarus for the development of new productions. At the same time, Olga Kapatsivich noted with regret that Western Europe knows very little about the real situation in Belarus and the measures taken by the state to support private business. Ms. Kapatsivich is originally from Belarus and is currently the head of a company that manufactures electrical equipment for automotive and tractor technology, including for manufacturers such as Skoda and Volkswagen. At the forum in Vitebsk, OW PLUS signed a memorandum of intent to create a joint venture based on the republican unitary enterprise "Evistor Plant" with a total investment of $5 million. More than 200 representatives of business circles from 12 countries took part in the investment forum, which is being held in Vitebsk on May 20-21. Over 150 new proposals were presented for consideration by potential investors. Priority areas include innovative technologies in logistics, energy saving, food and woodworking industries, mechanical engineering, pharmaceuticals, and tourism. During the forum, it is planned to hold a scientific and practical exhibition of innovative and investment projects "Science. Innovations. Investments," a presentation of priority projects, a contact and cooperation exchange, and visits to enterprises and investment sites. Investors will have the opportunity to get acquainted with projects already successfully implemented in the region, and to communicate with businessmen engaged in investment activities in the region. -0-
