The hardware sector has a huge potential for development in Belarus. There are talented entrepreneurs and managers – the creators of successful companies in the world market. Strong engineering staff. There are interesting startups and spin-offs. Investors' interest in hardware projects is growing.

The most interesting things in our hardware start right now!

Short-term objectives of the event:

  • Replication of useful experience of the most successful innovative companies – this year practical cases will be shared by the founders of Yukon, Regula, NTLab, heads of EPAM Garage subdivisions and other interesting speakers.
  • Creating opportunities to find and attract customers, partners, investors, personnel. We will promote successful networking of participants and speakers as much as possible.
  • Discussion of the most pressing issues of the hardware industry and ways to solve them. This year we have invited to the discussion entrepreneurs and experts from abroad. We believe that a fresh opinion, experience, ideas will be useful for all participants.
