We are expanding spheres of economic activities in line with Belarus president decree No.215. In particular, the expansion will include 5G technologies and artificial intelligence. Apart from that, attracting anchor projects will be prioritized. I am talking about investors that bring companies with the volume of investments in excess of $50 million.
