This was stated in an interview with Belarusian television by the park\u2019s director <b>Uladzimir Davidovich<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p><i>\u201cThere is a company in the technopark that produces unmanned electric helicopters intended for non-military purposes. This is civil aviation \u2014 aircraft that fully provide and even replace helicopters such as the Mi-8. They are needed for tracing power lines in hard-to-reach areas, oil and gas pipelines, transporting certain samples of mineral resources, or delivering medical supplies to remote locations. And for them to fly, electric batteries are required. The components themselves are supplied, of course, from China. But assembly, configuration, control systems, software, and the casings themselves are produced at the technopark,\u201d<\/i> he said.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, the technopark also hosts a resident company that manufactures drilling heads used by European customers.<\/p>\n<p><i>\u201cWe even have innovative coffee. This coffee is now used by <\/i><em>Belavia <\/em><i>in business class and on trains. These are not capsules for coffee machines \u2014 it is live, natural coffee that you simply squeeze into a cup, pour boiling water over it, and you get coffee of the same quality as in a caf\u00e9, as if made by a barista,\u201d<\/i> he added.<\/p>\n<p>Davidovich said that 40 resident companies are already operating on the former Motovelo site. Most of them are manufacturing and engineering enterprises, including producers of special-purpose equipment, for example for transporting oversized and dangerous cargo, vacuum excavators, and machinery for cleaning stormwater drainage systems.<\/p>\n<p><i>\u201cThere is even a kind of mini machine-tool plant here that renovates old machines built back in Soviet times. They modernise them, add software, and as a result this becomes modern technological equipment. Equipment for processing agricultural products is produced here \u2014 for extracting oil from crops such as rapeseed, sunflower, flax, and others. Some robotic equipment is also manufactured here,\u201d<\/i> the park director said.<\/p>\n<p>The technopark site also hosts production facilities for veterinary medicines, medical equipment, and medical consumables.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Minsk City Technopark has launched production of batteries for unmanned aerial vehicles and innovative coffee products.
