The Leningrad Region and Belarus Share Best Practices in the Development of Industrial Parks and Technoparks

A delegation from the Leningrad Region visited the Republic of Belarus. One of the main goals of the visit was to showcase the infrastructure of industrial parks and the plans for the development of technoparks in the Leningrad Region, as well as to study the best similar facilities in Belarus.

"Industrial parks in the Leningrad Region have great potential for development – currently, 12 are active, with another 10 planned to be established by 2030. It was particularly insightful to observe the functioning technoparks in the allied republic, as we are planning to establish the first two technoparks in the Priozersky and Vsevolozhsky districts of the Leningrad Region. We are working on the entry protocols for residents and also need to consider how to improve incentives and support measures for the development of industrial enterprises and high-tech production," commented Yegor Mishcheryakov, the First Deputy Chairman of the Committee for Economic Development and Investment Activity of the Leningrad Region, following the visit to the Republic of Belarus.

It should be noted that the existing and planned industrial parks cover an area of over 1,737 hectares, hosting 165 residents (with an average occupancy rate of 60%), and more than 7,500 new jobs have been created. The volume of private investments actually attracted, including investments from residents, amounts to approximately 60 billion rubles.

Major private industrial parks include Greenstate, Levoberezhny, and M10.
