18 июня 2022
Industry Minister Petr Parkhomchik said that Belarus now has a unique opportunity to take a rightful place in the field of microelectronics.

"We have the main component of microelectronics - science, we have two holdings - Planar and Integral. Planar is among the world's top four manufacturers of technology and equipment for microelectronics. At the moment, the enterprise is loaded for the next 5-6 years."

It is very important that those orders that Russia once placed in unfriendly countries are now reoriented to Belarus.

"We have now prepared an intergovernmental agreement between the ministries of Russia and Belarus to bring these decisions to a higher level. It will be signed in the near future. The Russian Federation is preparing a program of microelectronics development until 2030. We want to prepare a similar program by the end of this year so that it would dock and be integrated into the program of the Russian Federation," summed up the Minister of Industry.
