“Belarus has no resources. We do not have oil or gas, or metals. Therefore, we would necessarily have to bet on brainpower, education, the capabilities of people.”
a lot of people still see Belarus as a country that stood in the Soviet era. But the reality, at least when it comes to technologies, could not be further from prejudice. In fact, the country is at the forefront in this field, and one of those responsible is the World of Tanks, one of the most popular computer games in the world. The adventure began with friends in a kitchen in Minsk.
“Even in the testing phase, the flow of players was huge. We knew that the project would succeed, but no one was waiting for both, “says Kirill Stadnik, one of the creators of the game. Stadnik also says that the technology sector is the least dependent on external factors such as political, since the borders practically do not exist.
Unlike other companies in the sector, Wargaming, the creator of World of Tanks , maintains headquarters in Belarus, more specifically a technology park in Minsk. Valery Tsepkalo directs this center and explains: “Belarus has no resources. We do not have oil or gas, or metal. Therefore, we would necessarily have to bet on brainpower, education, the capabilities of people. Above all, young people. “
It was also of Belarus who came as the creators of popular applications such as” Viber “.https: //www.viber.com/ or MSQRD . Despite this “boom” technology, the economy continues to suffer. The GDP fell 4% in the first two months of this year.
