MINSK, 21 March (BelTA) – Belarus is one of the top ten countries in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, which are covered by IT industry development reports compiled by the analytical agency Gartner, BelTA learned from Valery Tsepkalo, Director of the Hi-Tech Park administration, at a press conference on 21 March.
“In 2010 in response to our request the agency suggested compiling an analytical report on Belarus for $250,000. Last year the agency contacted us upon its own initiative and the report has already been prepared. Belarus is one of the top ten countries of Europe, the Middle East and Africa, which are covered by such reports. It means that the agency could not but notice Belarus as part of the IT industry. Failing to do that could be detrimental to the agency,” said the official.
Results of the report are supposed to be presented before the international community in London in May-June 2016 and in Brisbane, Australia and Orlando, USA in October.
