ORGANIZING COMMITTEE

The welcome speech of the President of the Republic of Belarus

Alexander Lukashenko

I would like to welcome the participants and guests of the International Forum TIBO-2019.

Due to these annual meetings, Minsk has become an important platform in Eastern Europe for presentation of the latest achievements in the fi eld of information and communication technologies. Dozens of companies from various countries are here to present the advanced developments in the fi eld of artifi cial intelligence, Internet, cloud technologies, augmented reality, mobile communications.

Belarus made a bid for its economy digitalization resulting in making it a “digital bridge” between the countries of the EU, the Eurasian Economic Union and the Asia and Pacifi c Region. Belarusian Hi-Tech Park regularly grows due to new residents joining it, and committing the future to the IT sphere becomes more and more common for youth.

I believe that the information exchange at this TIBO-2019 forum will contribute to the development of information technologies in our country and abroad.

I wish you professional success, promising projects, and pleasant impressions from our hospitable Minsk.

WELCOME SPEECHES TO THE PARTICIPANTS OF TIBO-2019

Konstantin Shulgan, Minister of Communications and Informatization of the Republic of Belarus, Chairperson of the Forum Organizing Committee

Let me welcome you on behalf of the Organizing Committee of the XXVI ICT Forum TIBO.

For 26 years, the Ministry of Communications and Informatization together with other interested public authorities, relevant business associations, professional unions, and scientifi c research and educational institutions, has annually held the International Forum on Information and Communication Technologies TIBO in Minsk.

It is indisputable that, in the course of previous years, the ICT forum made a signifi cant contribution into the development of the information sphere in our country, provision of favorable conditions for international cooperation, all-round contacts between specialists, implementation of the strategy of the innovative development of the country, and formation of economy that is science-driven, resource-saving and competitive in the world market.

In 2018, several new tasks were set by the President of the Republic of Belarus for acceleration of economic development and raising the living standards of people on the basis of digital transformation. In view of this, the role of the Ministry of Communications and Informatization as strategic headquarters for the development of digital economy throughout the country has signifi cantly grown – from Industry 4.0 and precision agriculture to the development of a full-fl edged e-medicine system in the country. Clear, plain, and detailed strategy of digitalization in all branches and the economy as a whole shall be developed.

The mission of TIBO 2019 Forum is to make its contribution into the solving of the tasks set and the formation of the detailed plan of activities for comprehensive digital transformation.

For the purpose of further development of the international cooperation, a signifi cant number of large international events are held within the scope of the Forum: the Eurasian Digital Forum; the Belarusian ICT Summit; the Spectrum Management Conference for CIS, Central and Eastern Europe Countries; the International Telecommunication Union Radio Monitoring Seminar etc.

The Forum is the major platform for the discussion, in a wide range of competent specialists, of the strategy of development of the IT sphere in the Republic of Belarus and for the formation of the state information politics, and this is fostered by the intensive agenda providing for the great number of thematic plenary sessions, round tables and seminars.

There is no doubt that the 26th TIBO-2019 Forum will also become the universal platform for fruitful professional teamwork, exchange of innovative ideas and arrangement of promising business contacts for all categories of its guests and participants.

I wish all of us successful work, achievement of goals set, and further fruitful cooperation.

Ramin Guluzade, Minister of Transport, Communications and High Technologies of the Republic of Azerbaijan

I congratulate you on the opening of the XXVI International Forum on Information and Communication Technologies TIBO-2019.

For the recent 7 years, Azerbaijan has taken part in this event through its national pavilion and the representative delegation. It became a good tradition when we mutually present ourselves at our national branch-related exhibitions, take part in conferences held within their scopes, and arrange business forums.

This is a real example of friendly relations between the Republic of Azerbaijan and the Republic of Belarus, and business partnership of branch ministries of our countries.

The International Forum TIBO is an annual meeting place for representatives of international and state institutions, worldwide and leading companies, high-level and multi-discipline specialists. The exchange of information and advanced practices, presentation of new technologies and specifi c solutions, arrangement of business relations are the achievements of this event.

I sincerely wish the exhibition participants and guests the achievement of stated goals, the constructive dialogue and fruitful work.

Mr. Konstantin Noskov,Minister of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Media of the Russian Federation

The TIBO Forum is 26 years old - and this age is hard to believe if measured by the age of modern digital technologies. The world is developing very fast, it transforms very fast, and the pace of change gets faster every year. Therefore, if you want to be at the tip of the spear, well aware of the latest trends, you need to communicate, explore good practices and share your experiences, so that all countries, all regions of the world, and the regions of our countries could evenly develop. Therefore, of course, such forums are very useful.

The world has changed radically, and throughout all these years, people come together at the forum and discuss the latest trends. This does not only off er an opportunity, but also puts a great responsibility on the TIBO forum. And we should discuss here not only the most relevant technology-related trends, but also take a more global look, have a lookback on the way changing technologies transform the way of life, aff ect economy, social sector, population, and countries.

Uldis Reimanis, the Deputy State Secretary of the Ministry of Transport of the Republic of Latvia

Let me greet you, the professionals and all the interested gathered here for the opening of the XXVI International Forum on Information and Communication Technologies TIBO-2019.

Digital transformation plays a tremendous role providing opportunities to use digital technologies for improvement of economic growth and competitiveness.

Backgrounds must be created for adaptation to the technological changes and support of strategic digitalization projects in such areas as artifi cial intelligence, cyber security, blockchain and investments in digitalization. Successful digital conversion is closely related to digital skills that are vital to ensure the successful process of digital transformation and future needs of the society. Realizing that the new workplaces and professions currently unknown will appear under the conditions of the digital transformation, we must educate and prepare the society for lifelong education that will play an important role in the future.

One of the driving forces for implementation of the new projects is the mobile communication network of the new generation, 5G, which will play an important role in the development of entrepreneurship and improvement of the quality of life of people, reducing the digital gap and producing innovative services. Due to the introduction of 5G mobile communication services, Latvia, jointly with Lithuania and Estonia, will take part during the next decade in such international projects as the digitalization of the Via Baltica motor transport corridor that will connect Helsinki and Prague and will be the integral part of the European Main Line Project TEN-T. Latvia is also a participant in the European Railway Project, Rail Baltica that will connect Finland and Poland.

It is a great honor for me to attend the forum and to take part in discussions on the strategy of digital development of our countries. I hope that, within the scope of this event, we shall have an opportunity to exchange opinions in matters interesting for us.

Finally, I wish to thank the forum organizers due to whom the platform is provided year by year to discuss the prospects of the digital transformation strategy as well as the opportunity to become acquainted with the new trends in the development of information and communication technologies.

Let me wish all the participants of the forum every success and express my hope for fruitful cooperation and teamwork in the future.

Sergei Katyrin, President of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Russian Federation

On behalf of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Russian Federation, I am glad to welcome the guests and participants of the International Forum on Information and Communication Technologies TIBO-2019.

The forum holds a place of honor in the list of international business events in the sector of information and communication technologies, and annual growth of the number of participants demonstrates the relevance of matters and projects considered.

In 2019, the agenda prevailing at the Forum is that of the digital transformation and the digital economy development, being among the key priorities for the most countries in the world.

Each EAEU member country has its unique developments and solutions that can be scaled in supranational scopes, and this is the Forum platform where you will have an opportunity to become aware of them and to discuss the mechanisms for introduction. Meanwhile, close attention must also be paid to the experience of other states that is extensively represented at the Forum.

In turn, the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Russian Federation is ready to provide assistance to the interested entrepreneurial communities in entering the Russian market, in searching for business partners and in development of the economic cooperation.

I wish the guests and participants of the Forum the eff ective work, successful negotiations and contracts!

Kirill Oparin, Head of the Regional Offi ce of the International Telecommunication Union for the CIS

It is a great pleasure and honor for me to address with greetings the participants and guests of the 26th International Forum on Information and Communication Technologies TIBO-2019, which is opened today in the capital of the Republic of Belarus, the Hero City of Minsk.

Let me thank Konstantin Shulgan, Minister of Communications and Informatization of the Republic of Belarus, for invitation to take part in the event so important not only for the Republic of Belarus but also for our whole region. Every year, with great pleasure, the ITU takes part in the forum of such a high level organized by the Ministry of Communications and Informatization jointly with other public agencies of the Republic of Belarus.

Among the major trends of several recent years are digital technologies and tasks of sustainable development set before the UN by the Member States. The ITU, as the specialized UN institution for the matters of the ICT development, plays a key role in promotion of application of modern technologies for the good of the whole humankind.

I am happy to note that, in accordance with the data available in the ITU report “Information Society Measurement”, the Republic of Belarus holds the 32th position, and it is the leader in ICT development in the CIS region. The report notes that, due to the elaborate and progressive policy, the developed infrastructure has been created in the Republic of Belarus, making it possible to provide people with high-quality and aff ordable services of fi xed and mobile broadband access.

According to the ITU assessments, successful implementation of the State program for the Digital Economy and Information Society Development will make it possible to strengthen and improve the position of the Republic of Belarus in the ITU rating due to the further deployment of LTE networks in the regions of the country, the development of fi ber-optic networks, satellite communications, digital television and cloud technologies.

The Republic of Belarus successfully cooperates with the ITU for a long time, and I wish to note that our cooperation broke new ground in this year.

In February, we held the Forum on Matters of Development of Smart Sustainable Cities in Minsk, arranged by the ITU jointly with the UN Development program. In the previous week, the training in satellite communications matters was held in Minsk, arranged by the ITU and the International Telecommunications Satellite Organization, and already in this week, within the scope of TIBO, we hold the Spectrum Management Conference for CIS, Central and Eastern Europe Countries and the Seminar on Matters of Noise-free Operation of Radio Communication Facilities. All the activities are carried out with the support of the Ministry of Communications and Informatization of the Republic of Belarus. One more example of expansion of our cooperation is the planned founding of the IT Technology Training Centre based on the Belarusian State Academy of Communications.

I would like to wish TIBO-19 Forum and Exhibition to be held successfully, and to invite you all to take part in ITU activities held in Minsk, in Marriott hotel, from April 8–11.

Nurudin Mukhitdinov, Director General of the Executive Committee of the Regional Commonwealth in the Field of Communications (RCC)

I’m happy to welcome you at the XXVI International Forum on Information and Communication Technologies TIBO-2019.

Let me, on behalf of the Regional Commonwealth in the Field of Communications, thank the Ministry of Communications and Informatization of the Republic of Belarus for invitation to take part in one of the most signifi cant forums of the present time.

As of today, the Administration of Communications of the Republic of Belarus within the scope of the Regional Commonwealth in the Field of Communications makes a great contribution into the development of our region.

In 2018, 6 events within the scope of the RCC were held in Minsk: The RCC Commission for Postal Communications and the RCC Council of Postal Operators, the 1st meeting of the Work Group for Postal Security Activities, the 1st meeting of the Work Group for Operation and Quality of Postal Services, the 5th and 6th meeting of the Work Group for Satellite Technologies, the RCC Council of Telecommunications and Infocommunications Operators.

This activity of the Administration of Communications of the Republic of Belarus made it possible to provide thorough preparation for the ITU Plenipotentiary Conference that was held in Dubai (UAE) last year.

This year (2019), two important events were already held in Minsk:- the 24th meeting of the RCC Work Group for Work with the ITU under

the aegis of the RCC Commission for International Cooperation (28 February, 2019), and the 3rd annual Spectrum Management Conference for CIS, Central and South Eastern Europe Countries that is in progress nowadays (April 8–9, 2019).

These events are the important steps in preparation of all administrations of communications in the RCC for the forthcoming 2019 World Radio Communication Conference that will be held in October-November of this year in Sharm el-Sheikh (Egypt).

The activity of the Administration of Communications of the Republic of Belarus in the format of international eff orts remains at very high level.

The result of favorable environment in building the information society in the Republic of Belarus is the wide range of measures taken by the Parliament, the Government and the top offi cials of the Republic and, of course, the specialists of the branch. It should be also noted that the International ICT Forum TIBO-2019, held for the 26th time, is a catalyst and a driver in promotion of new technologies at the market and the contribution made by the exhibition and the related events are the major elements in building the digital economy.

I express my confi dence that the positive joint results of work of the RCC Executive Committee and the Administration of Communications of the Republic of Belarus will become the base for further development of information and communication technologies in our region.

Let me wish all the participants to have successful and constructive work.

Julian Burns, the Banker of the Department of Information and Communication Technologies in the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (Great Britain)

Thank you for inviting the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) to take part in the international ICT Forum TIBO.

I have a great pleasure to be here and to be capable to hear and see great events taking place in the Belarusian ICT industry, both in the governmental and private sector.

We live in marvelous time when technological changes take place more and more rapidly. Together, we must strive for introduction of these new technologies for improvement of quality of our day-to-day life.

The Government of the Republic of Belarus and its people have performed excellent work to give incentives for innovations, economic growth and development.

The state encourages the ICT sector in many aspects, creating highly favorable conditions for entrepreneurship. People working here are highly skilled, entrepreneurial and technologically competent. This country is a place of birth for such companies as Epam, Viber and World of Tanks. According to the Knowledge Economy Index published recently, the Republic of Belarus holds one of leading positions among all countries where the EBRD is active.

What is a role played by the EBRD in it?The EBRD off ers long-term fi nancing available as investments into the

share capital of enterprises and as credit lines that we off er both for large and small companies. To satisfy the needs of enterprises for fi nancing at early stages of their development, our department of ICT projects has its own fund for investments into the share capital of enterprises.

The EBRD also off ers technical assistance for companies allowing them to gain access to the professional knowledge and experience resulting in contribution to their development.

The investments into the ICT sector are focused on three key points:Infrastructure – with no eff ective infrastructure, new technologies cannot

be introduced;IT services – e-trade, e-payments (PandaDoc and Target Process);New technologies – Internet of things, 5G, Smart Cities.Atlant Telecom is an example of ongoing contribution to the development

of this sector provided by the EBRD:Investments into the share capital in 2011;Growth and innovations;Consulting services;Enterprise shares sold to Velcom Company in 2016;Zubr Capital FundTarget Process has raised the investments of 5 million US Dollars from the

EBRD and Zubr.

Rashed Mustafa Sarvar, the Representative of the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) in the Republic of Belarus

At this forum dedicated to information technologies, I, as the Representative of the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) in Belarus, want to say several words about their infl uence on children.

Digital technologies already changed the world and they change childhood more and more. According to the offi cial statistics, about 95% of children in Belarus use Internet. On the one hand, they open new opportunities and make is possible to expand the access to information for children; on the other hand, they make children especially vulnerable to negative infl uence.

This year, the 30th anniversary of signing the Convention on the Rights of the Child is celebrated throughout the world. Each child’s right to protection is among the key rights. That’s why their safety provision, including that in Internet, is the high-priority area of activity of the UNICEF at a global level.

In Belarus, during the period from 2010 to 2018, there was a 20-times growth of the number of cases of sexual exploitation of children and violence against them. For the recent two years, the increase in the number of these cases is 60%. These crimes are committed predominantly through Internet. According to the data available from the last survey carried out by the UNICEF in Belarus, 18.2% of children asked (grades 8–11 of general secondary education institutions) noted that they suff ered violence from persons that they acquainted through Internet. Just imagine that this could be your child because, according to the same survey data, children predominantly never tell adults about this.

Therefore, this problem is more and more urgent for Belarus, and I am glad that such platforms as TIBO pay attention to the promotion of cyber security for children and arrangement of public dialogue for the development of the comprehensive policy and strategies in the fi eld of safety of children in Internet.

In November, 2018, the high-level round table was held in Minsk, attended by Ms. Marta Santos Pais, Special Representative of the Secretary-General of the United Nations for the matters of violence against children; during it, the need was discussed for coordination of activities of all interested parties, including relevant governmental agencies, public associations and the private sector for the purpose of eff ective prevention of crimes against children in Internet.

Today, we are glad to continue this dialogue involving the wide range of partners, taking into consideration that Belarus is notable for responsible use of IT and is an ideal place to think about the strategy of joint eff orts of the IT sector, the government, the civil society and international institutions. If we join our strengths, we shall become able to stop the growth of online crimes against children.

We are looking forward to see you at our round table on April 10 to discuss together our further activities. I’m sure that, through joint eff orts of the government, the private sector, IT companies, and children themselves as active conductors of changes, it will be possible to protect the rights of each child and to ensure development of their potential.

The participants and guests were addressed with the welcome speech by Konstantin Shulgan, Minister of Communications and Informatization of the Republic of Belarus, Chairperson of the Organizing Committee:

“Good starting conditions have been arranged in the Republic of Belarus for successful digital transformation and for making the economy competitive against the most highly developed countries. The country has highly developed national information infrastructure and IT industry, the effective state administration system and high-quality educational system.”

He noted that the format for holding TIBO-2019 was designed considering high-priority tasks set by the President and the Government for the digital economy development, and the coordinating role of the Ministry of Communications and Informatization in this process.

“This year, the innovative approach was chosen for making up the exhibition layout. Because the primary goal of the forum is to facilitate the effective digital transformation of the economy

and the state administration system of the Republic of Belarus, the core of the exhibition is the central exposition arranged by the Ministry of Communications and Informatization jointly with the Operations and Analysis Center of the Republic of Belarus and other republican state administration agencies and institutions,” Konstantin Shulgan noted.

According to the Minister, completed digital solutions were predominantly selected for demonstration. They were designed on the basis of technological trends and introduced in various spheres. Here, the task is not only to demonstrate the effectiveness of solutions presented but also to ensure that the successful experience of their introduction is replicated.

“Digital solutions working effectively are demonstrated not only in the manufacturing sector but also in the system of state administration, social sphere, public health and education: governmental e-services and administrative e-procedures; Belarusian virtual reality system for diagnostics and treatment of complicated fractures; virtual reality simulators for traumatologists; multifunctional hardware and software complex providing effective management for holding the Second European Games as well as comfortable lodging of guests and sportsmen in the country.”

In the Minister’s opinion, success in a way of formation of the digital economy in Belarus, as in all developed countries, depend to a great extent on the quality of the system of education and science and the innovation support system. Therefore, the Minister noted, in addition to the usual sections of TIBO Forum, the new thematic unit, “The Ecosystem of Innovations”, has been made at the exhibition this year.

“The intensive and interesting agenda is offered for the forum participants this year,” he noted.

During the opening ceremony, guests and participants were also welcomed by Konstantin Noskov, Minister of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Media of the Russian Federation. “A wonderful forum and exhibition already took place, and I wish to congratulate the organizers on this event. This is indicated by the great number of wonderful stands with various displayed items and newest technologies, as well as the great number of visitors,” he noted.

OFFICIAL GUESTS OF TIBO–2019

STANISLAV ZAS, State Secretary of the Security Council of the Republic of Belarus:

“This is not the first time I visit the exhibition. I think it is useful for any official in the 21st century, the century of information technologies. It is better to spend two hours but gain lots of new knowledge in the sphere presented here. This year, the exhibition differs from that in the previous year, even visually, as we can see both in terms of the number of enterprises and institutions exhibited and the scope of themes presented here. Of course, we are glad that we rise annually and that both the country and ordinary citizen obtain new opportunities in information exchange and communications, in information technologies, and we keep up with the time. The fact our state holds the 32nd place means something. We look worthily and this is confirmed by this exhibition. A good approach has been chosen at the exhibition, so that people could not only listen but see and, in a simple format, become familiar with the opportunities that the IT sphere provides for people and for the country.”

INTERVIEWS WITH PARTICIPANTS AND GUESTS OF TIBO–2019

KONSTANTIN SHULGAN, Minister of Communications and Informatization of the Republic of Belarus, Chairperson of the Forum Organizing Committee:

“As for the 26th TIBO exhibition of today, its “feature” is that the solutions presented, from the point of view of the Ministry of Communications and Informatization, must bring economic and social effect in all branches of our economy. The things that we demonstrate can be successfully applied in various branches of economy because the engineer’s thought is not finished at his/her solution offered in one branch. All these solutions can be transformed and applied in other fields of economy.

It is also not unimportant that the exhibition presents startup innovations that are not yet in their final stage of projects but, nevertheless, has a right for life and implementation.

Meanwhile, as also noted by our guests, besides the exhibition, not without interest is the forum itself, which includes 4 international events within the scope of the RCC and the Eurasian Commonwealth. It is important that the specialists offering the solutions are able to arrange matters with each other, to express their recommendations and proposals in implementation of large-scale projects involving several countries to make their development as rapid and as effective as possible.

We would like that not only decision-makers and specialists but all our citizens could appreciate the level of development of our IT industry, our IT developers and the things that we, as civil servants, consider as targets to make our country the best and prosperous.”

PARTICIPANTS COMMENTS

KONSTANTIN NOSKOV,Minister of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Media of the Russian Federation:

“The world develops rapidly, changes very rapidly, and the rate of changes grows constantly, every year. Therefore, to be “at the tip of the spear” as they say, in line with the latest trends, we certainly must communicate regularly, look at the best experience and share own experience with others, particularly to provide quite uniform development for all countries, all regions of the world and regions of our countries. Therefore, certainly, such forums are very useful. We regularly meet the managers of the related ministry, we meet at international platforms and visit each other. And this is the case not only for our ministries. We have meetings with parliaments, with enterprises. I’m pleased with the development of our cooperation.

SONG KYUNG-HEE, Director General of the Ministry of Science and Information and Communication Technologies of the Republic of Korea:

“I took a walk through the exhibition and already managed to feel the energetics of people who present the technologies, people who came to see. This is an excellent opportunity for ordinary people and for enterprises to become familiar with new technologies. Therefore, I think that this is a very useful event. In Korea, such exhibitions are held very often, and they are similar to your event in terms of their format. I think that this is a good opportunity to show new technologies.

Since 2012, active teamwork has been in progress between our countries in the field of science and technologies. We have founded a joint committee for science and technologies, and we discuss the most promising areas of cooperation. We successfully implement joint research activities in the fields of material science and nanotechnologies. Enterprises often take part in scientific and technical cooperation. Within the scope of this visit, the meeting of the scientific technical committee and the joint forum were held, where we discussed the new promising areas for cooperation. These are nanotechnologies, information and communication technologies and geology. In the near future, we are to expand our teamwork in these areas.”

ELMIR TOFIG OGLU VELIZADE, Deputy Minister of Transport, Communications and High Technologies of the Republic of Azerbaijan:

“For the last 26 years, TIBO has served as a platform where specialists and companies can meet, share their experience and advanced technologies. And it is pleasant that Azerbaijan has already took part in this exhibition for 7 years. We annually demonstrate the National Pavilion where the representatives of the private sector and state entities participate. We are glad that such mutual relations have developed between our countries and ministries. Specifically, through our participation in TIBO exhibition, we study Belarusian best practices, become acquainted with our colleagues and their solutions. In our opinion, this is the factor, due to which TIBO is very important for all participants. Very good partnership relations have already developed between our structures and respective Belarusian ones. This year, fruitful negotiations will be held and detailed plans will be drafted. I think that we shall attain some success at this exhibition.”

NURUDIN MUKHITDINOV, Director General of the Executive Committee of the Regional Commonwealth in the Field of Communications

“I think Belarus rightly holds leading positions in our region by many ICT parameters. This is the great and programmed effort of various authority structures, companies and branches of economy engaged in information technologies. The event held once again under the aegis of TIBO makes significant contribution into the implementation of programs available in the republic and in the region. The exhibition

is the summarizing of results of things already done and of those that should be considered as targets. The program solutions that are to be presented tomorrow will make the life of people and business easier significantly.

JULIAN BURNS, Banker of the Department of Information and Communication Technologies in the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (Great Britain):

“I think that such large-scale exhibitions are important to contribute to the development of industry and the IT sector. I remember my participation in this exhibition 3–4 years ago. It was in much lesser scale. And the things I saw today really impressed me. Especially the work that was done. Today, we saw a great variety of major players in this sector. We ascertained that the general level became better, and I may wish to proceed with good work. I like very much the rate of your country’s development as compared with other countries of the region. As for the ICT sector where I work, we have an experience of work with Belarusian companies. We are interested in invitation of partners and supplier companies in the field of IT services and we are ready to invest in this area.”

XU WEIZHONG, Chief Strategy Officer of Huawei ‘s Wireless Product Line (China):

“TIBO forum is an excellent platform both for the Republic of Belarus and for the CIS countries to develop the digital economy. Now the time came when the world of information and communication technologies starts to introduce 5G. This is the new generation of communications, and this year will see the new development of 5G because more than 20 countries in the world will deploy 5G networks in their territories. At this stage, I think, personally for me, it is very well to be here at TIBO because this is an opportunity to exchange plans and strategies with our partners and friends.”

LJUBOMIR KARADSHOW, IT Director of SCHNEIDER GROUP Company Group:

“We have already been cooperating with Belarusian companies for very long time, especially in the IT field. Our specialists are very good, as well as those here, in Belarus. They actively participate in development efforts, including those for ERP systems, their localization for Belarus, for Russia and for all countries throughout the CIS, and assist us jointly with companies entering the market here in building new up-to-date solutions. TIBO is the central forum for exchange of international experience in the field of information and digital technologies.”

JULIA LAKHMOTKINA,Director General of Schneider Electric Bel LLC:

“For our company, TIBO is primarily the platform where we can present our innovative solutions and innovative technologies and see what others do in order to find some synergy, to see more ideas that we can implement in our innovative solutions. This is a platform where we can see, on one square meter, many companies and many ideas and, respectively, many projects and opportunities for business. We certainly shall try to use all of them.”

ROBERT FINTAK,Chairperson of the Management Board of Terra HEXEN (Poland):

“This is our first visit to Minsk. We are very glad to be at this magnificent technological exhibition. We are very impressed by the things we saw here. Indeed, we had no sufficient time to visit all elements of this exhibition. Now, we are searching for some ideas that your specialists may have and that may complement our own solutions. Together, we would be capable to design some new product. Also, I represent Polish Chamber of Unmanned Aircrafts. We would like to sign the memorandum or the letter of intents allowing us to cooperate with the Belarusian Chamber of Unmanned Aircrafts. Thus, we would build a sort of a bridge to the future, we would be able to exchange our experience and knowledge, ideas and technologies, resulting in improvement of human life and environment as a whole.

My best wishes! I hope the next year will see more representatives of Polish technological companies!”

ALL INTERVIEWS, OPINIONS AND REVIEWS OF TIBO 2019 FORUM ARE AVAILABLE ON THE YOUTUBE CHANNEL:

ANDREI NAREIKO,Chairperson of the Board of Belinfocom Association

“TIBO exhibition is very good this year. I appreciated the representation at quite high level, number of foreign ministers, interesting speakers and reports. This is the collation of results from previous achievements and detailing of trends and challenges, where we shall go and what we shall fight.

BIANKA SIWINSKA, Executive Director of the “Prospects” Educational Fund (Poland):

“It was interesting for me to become aware of new ideas, of what happens in the Republic of Belarus. I wanted to visit large, significant events and conferences. TIBO is certainly one of such events. We see significant changes taking place in industry, in economy, in the society. This is what is known as the fourth industrial revolution. And the role is very important that women play now in economy, in business, in technologies, in information and communication technologies. Therefore, we must do in such a way that women become the participants and partners in creation of the new world and development of new solutions facing the humankind. I think the society lives as follows: we meet, we share ideas, we discuss important things. And now we see that the technologies change very quickly and many things that we studied in universities are no longer relevant. It is very important for the society to be prepared for new technologies and information exchange. Therefore, such events taking place now throughout the world are so important. And if they are interesting and significant persons appear there, these events certainly may have many changes to take place. TIBO is such an event. And it is wonderful that the forum has already existed for many years.”

SIGNING THE AGREEMENTS, BILATERAL MEETINGS

Within the scope of XXVI International Forum on Information and Communication Technologies TIBO, the Russian satellite communication operator, Satellite Communication Federal State Unitary Enterprise (SC FSUE) and the Belarusian manufacturing enterprise Precise Electromechanics Plant Republican Production Unitary Enterprise (RPUE) (the operator of Belintersat satellite communication) signed the cooperation agreement.

The agreement was signed by Yuri Prokhorov, Director General of Satellite Communication FSUE, and Anatolii Vankovich, Director of Precise Electromechanics Plant RPUE.

“A highly remarkable event took place today. The agreement that we signed is the beginning of the long way of joint work and cooperation,” Yuri Prokhorov said.

“The agreement was preceded by great efforts. We are the neighbors not only on the Earth but also in the space. This is our plan of strategic activities for the future. I think that our cooperation will be mutually beneficial in all fields. This is the next step in further development of satellite communications,” Anatoli Vankovich said.

The cooperation agreement provides for the exchange of necessary technical information and holding the consultations of experts regarding the matters of joint use of capabilities of the existing satellite constellation

from SC FSUE as well as new satellites made in accordance with the program of development of Russian orbital constellation of spacecraft for communications and broadcasting. Particularly, we consider participation of the Belarusian enterprise in the construction of the Russian SC FSUE spacecraft, Express-AMU6 (53° E) and transfer of load to it from the spacecraft Belintersat-1 after the expiry of its active operation period.

Precise Electromechanics Plant RPUE also has plans to use the resource of the SC FSUE satellite constellation, including the spacecraft Express-AMU6 in C-, Ku- and Ka-ranges. The parties also came to an agreement on usage of the ground infrastructure of SC FSUE and the ground control complex of Belintersat.

Moreover, the agreement stipulates arrangement of cooperation between Russian and Belarusian designing and manufacturing enterprises for the design of ground satellite communication stations for mobile platforms and for launching their serial production.

“We highly appreciate partnership relations with our Belarusian colleagues in the field of satellite communications. We hope that the scientific and technical potential of Precise Electromechanics Plant and the agreements that we entered today will become the reliable base for long-term mutually beneficial cooperation between our enterprises in implementation of hi-tech projects for the benefit of users of satellite communication services in the territory of the Union State and in other countries,” Yuri Prokhorov noted.

“Signing the cooperation agreement with Satellite Communication, the largest satellite operator not only in Russia but in the world, is the major milestone for our enterprise in development of the national satellite communication and broadcasting system in the Republic of Belarus. Cooperation ties with SC FSUE will enable to raise the scope and quantity of satellite communication services provided by Belintersat, to obtain new experience in implementation of international projects and, last but not least, give one more momentum to the development of space industry in our country,” Anatoli Vankovich said.

Anatoli Vankovich answered the questions asked by journalists: “This agreement is an effort of our specialists. Satellite Communications is the largest operator in the world. We agreed that we need to go forward together including such advancement in the matter of construction of spacecrafts. We see the prospect of participation in the joint program announced in the Russian Federation. We were invited for participation in this program. The potential in the field of satellite communication is not destroyed but remains in demand. Ground stations are of special interest for our partners.

The agreement is signed, generally, to build and develop the satellite

communications. If we say simply “satellite communications”, it is too narrow. We make the way to involve in participation our enterprises making high-tech products. We are not blinkered, which involves the satellite communications only. Several matters with our partners, as long as we are nearby, must be solved rapidly. The matters of joint sales, pricing policy-making, coordination-related matters. This is a very broad spectrum of matters. And the goal is mutually beneficial cooperation for the sake of our states.

Yuri Prokhorov answered the questions asked by journalists: “We take part in TIBO forum for the first time and I think that this is a

milestone event not only for Belarus but for all countries. Such events give opportunities for contacts, enable to solve many business problems much easier.

We positively assess the prospects for cooperation of our enterprise with Belarusian partners. The agreement signed today is preceded by the way of many years. And this is by far not a finish, but only the beginning of the way. I think our project will finally bring serious results, both in the field of provision of satellite communication services and in the field of development of ground and space technologies.

We wish success for the forum and participants. I think it will be fruitful and interesting for all.

On April 9, the agreement was negotiated at the XXVI International ICT Forum TIBO-2019 for signing the Memorandum of Understanding for cooperation in matters of releasing the radio frequency band of 694790 MHz between the Ministry of Transport of the Republic of Latvia and the Ministry of Communications and Informatization of the Republic of Belarus

The agreement was signed by Konstantin Shulgan, Minister of Communications and Informatization of the Republic of Belarus, and Uldis Reimanis, Deputy State Secretary of the Ministry of Transport of the Republic of Latvia.

Uldis Reimanis, Deputy State Secretary of the Ministry of Transport of the Republic of Latvia:

“I would like to extend a big thank you to the Belarusian party because we, generally, have come to an agreement and reconciled its text within two years.

It is important for both states because the changes in technologies are in progress and the technology 5G comes, and I think that already in 2022 it will be used very actively in Latvia also. The frequency is released for needs of both people: first, this is in connection with neighborhood relations, second, it is for convenience of public.

Human relations remain, neighborhood relation remain, and technologies go side by side with us.

Each year, the exhibition involves more and more participants. I think that this format will work. I wish us to meet here again five years later, and I hope the artificial intelligence will not talk instead of us.”

within the country, merging in larger ecosystems of partner countries, enabling to gain competitive advantages for each participant of the ecosystem.

Insufficient interoperability of existing systems, their incompatibility with digital platforms from other countries and lack of common standards are significant barriers, while inclusion into global supply chains requires unhindered digital teamwork with foreign partners.

According to competent participants of EADF, the solution is joint development of digital ecosystems of states within the scope of integration associations subject to the conditions of cooperation between parties having equal rights, using the most successful experience gained. Among the high-priority tasks set in the digital agenda of EAEU is the integration of the EAEU ecosystem with ecosystems of major trade and economic partners.

International scientific-technical and innovative cooperation, the area of economic activity of the Republic of Belarus demonstrating the most dynamic development, is also connected with wide-scale application of the ICT, enabling to develop the new forms of cooperation and contributing to the development of scientific-technical and innovative potential. Participation in international IT projects, such as “Integrated Information System of the Eurasian Economic Union”, “Information System and Portal for Innovative Activity of CIS Participant States”, contributes to the stable growth of export of science-based and hi-tech products, interstate exchange of scientific-technical information, formation of the common scientific-technical space and mutual information support of innovative activities.

the integration of information and communication infrastructure, server capacities of user devices, can make the information infrastructure of the education system understandable, transparent and manageable. The “Digital Economy” program has been adopted and implemented in Belarus, where the main directions of the digital transformation of the education system are formulated. According to the GIAC experts, the main challenge of ICT

implementation in socially oriented industries, such as the education system, is associated not so much with the complexity of adapting new technologies as with the need for operational regulation by the government.

In addition to the accessibility of educational resources, which is provided through various digital platforms, the quality and legitimacy of educational content is also of great importance. Its generation requires

74

APRIL 10, 2019

cooperation of all stakeholders of the education system.

The experts of GIAC highlight the formation of a digital culture of society as an aspect among other important objectives of the new education system. A successful digital transformation in all areas is based on the involvement of the general public in the processes of digital transformation and its readiness for innovations.

The discussion of the possibilities of overcoming these and other barriers to digitalization of education took place within the framework of a panel discussion.

A guest expert from Ohio University (USA) shared a successful case of using ICT technologies in the study of foreign languages while immersing in the cultural context. According to the expert, the level of competence, including language, is estimated based on the ability to effectively use them in problem-solving. Understanding cultural characteristics allows the student to determine the best ways to improve their skills aimed at achieving certain goals. The widespread use of modern mobile technologies and the availability of an online platform are an effective tool and are actively used by Ohio University professors.

A Belarusian company Innowise Group, which has presented a medical system of mixed reality VOÊÀ.IO at the central exhibition area of TIBO, has also introduced innovative solutions using virtual reality and 3D modeling for medical training. The company’s experts spoke about the possibility of using the developed system not only to support a physician’s decision-making, reduce risks and improve the accuracy of surgical accesses but also for training.

With the help of Microsoft HoloLens glasses, medical students get the opportunity during practical classes not just to observe the work of doctors in the surgery room, as if via a Skype connection, but to see with the doctor’s eyes during the surgery. This allows you to practice your surgery skills on a completely new level.

The solution VOL.The1errtation.Trauma for Microsoft HoloLens

allows doctors to consult each other remotely, seeing the same 3D content. Then, a more experienced surgeon can remotely help the other surgeon to correctly diagnose complex injuries and pathologies and demonstrate the most appropriate treatments. The technology allows professionals to effectively interact with each other: to share experience, collectively determine the optimal method of treatment, compare the results obtained with the results of the leading clinics of the world.

To date, the educational version VÎÊÀ.IO is a complete catalogue of

Republic of Belarus. To determine the directions of innovative development, the experience of formation of the innovation landscape for digital innovations of the closest economic partners of the Republic of Belarus, the member states of such integration economic entities as the Eurasian Economic Union (EEC), the Eastern Partnership (EAP), is especially important now.

The comparative analysis of the structure of innovation ecosystems of the Eastern Partnership countries as well as the basic principles of innovation policy of the European Union, presented by international experts within the framework of the IÑÒ Driving Innovations conference, allows to visualize the key factors that determine the effectiveness of the innovation landscape of the country as well as to identify promising areas of improvement and development of the innovation sphere.

In particular, the experts drew attention to the gaps in competencies for digital innovation and the need for training in the EAP countries. The existing ecosystem in the field of ICT and innovations today does not provide sufficient quantity and quality of training for regulatory authorities and governmental organizations in many fields of knowledge and IT competencies. Representatives of business and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) also experience the need for training in these areas and improving the quality of innovative services.

According to the experts, for further sustainable development of the national innovation ecosystem, we need an integrated approach and involvement of different categories of stakeholders in the process: regulatory authorities, educational, research and scientific institutions, professional and business community, representatives of the start-up movement and initiative youth, investors and other participants of the innovation ecosystem.

When forming the national innovation policy, it is necessary to take into account global trends, to analyze innovative policies of developed countries in order to scale ready-made, tested and most suitable solutions into the national

PARTICIPANTS OF TIBO–2019

EXHIBITION

Participants of the collective stand “Governmental Digital Solutions” – state bodies and organizations – demonstrate through presentations and equipped workplaces the opportunities that are available to every citizen of Belarus and are designed to optimize their interaction with government agencies as well as development prospects for the near future. The collective stand is presented by National Traffic Exchange Centre RUE, Belarusian Cloud Technologies LLC, the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection, the Ministry of Industry, the State Customs Committee, the Ministry of Energy, the National Statistical Committee, the Ministry of Culture, etc.

Yulia Shapkina, Head of the Sectorial Informatization Department of the Ministry of Communications and Informatization of the Republic of Belarus, told about the projects presented at the stand “State Digital Solutions”: “This year, the central exhibition “State Digital Solutions”

Collective stand “Governmental Digital Solutions”

demonstrates the projects of state bodies and organizations based on the use of advanced information technologies in various fields of activity. This year, digital solutions are presented in the context of three main

areas. In the thematic block devoted to electronic services and infrastructure, there are electronic services and services that allow citizens to quickly receive public services in various life situations through the created basic

92


elements of e-government powered by the functioning infrastructure.

The block “Digital Solutions in Production” presents advanced developments applied at each stage of the production cycle. The collective stand is also presented by industry digital solutions used in various spheres of life.”

Inna Khmelnitskaia, Co-founder of VOKA.IO, told about the innovations presented by the Ministry of Health at the stand “State Digital Solutions” : “This year the exhibition is very interesting. There are very interesting expositions, for example, Genesis, one of the most advanced developments in the world, Smart City. It is good that the exhibition is held in Minsk-Arena: there is plenty of room and light here. At our stand, we present the medical system of the mixed reality Microsoft Hololens glasses The system is designed to see damaged bones or organs inside the patient. The system VOKA.IO, developed by the Belarusian company Innowise Group, has been used for more than a year in the Republican Research and Practical Centre for Traumatology and Orthopedics State Institution; more than 30 surgeries have been performed using this system. We use the data of computer tomography, which is loaded into our system, and according to it, a 3D model is built. A loaded into Hololens glasses 3D model is displayed in front of the

surgeon’s eyes. It is used to plan a

surgery: it makes it easier for the doctor

to understand the anatomy of the fracture than on a flat model. Thus, you can choose the best way to access the bone and to understand which side is correct for approach. The size of the incision is reduced because the model is clearly positioned on the patient’s body, and the doctor knows where to make the incision. These glasses can also be used in telehealth: for example, to give a consultation, one doctor puts on glasses and another doctor, who can be anywhere in the world, puts on the same glasses, and they both can see the same model. The glasses can be used directly for training of

physicians: during practical classes, you can see not just doctors who work in the surgery room as if via a Skype connection. A student can put on glasses and see the same things as the doctor during the surgery. This allows you to practice your surgery skills on a completely new level. Also, we are finishing the development of a mobile application of a catalogue of 3D-injuries and pathologies of the heart. This is a unique development because only a company from the Netherlands has had some projects about the heart; they have presented projects on 8 pathologies. In our turn, now we are finishing work with all 103 models of pathologies, which can be used in the establishing of more

than 1,000 diagnoses. The project has no analogues

in the world. For our country, we plan to provide our mixed reality solution to all hospitals. We see only the European and

American markets as commercial. I hope that

all doctors will have the opportunity to use our app, and

they will all have free access to the mobile app”.

The stand of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food, Savushkin Product JSC and Brest Meat Packing Plant JSC is popular with visitors of the exhibition. Here they can see the packaging robot of Savushkin Product and Traceability and Veterinary Safety AITS systems, and IRS Techservice.

At the stand, you can see the presentation of the applied digital technologies in the entire technological chain – from the cultivation of feed to the sale of finished high-quality products in the Belarusian and foreign markets as well as automation systems of business and production processes, including robotics, precision farming systems, food security, electronic interaction of all participants in the supply chains.

At the stand of the Ministry of Energy, the systems of automation control of electric and thermal networks, the operation of

the digital transformer substation, and the use of the system for accounting and payment of consumed digital and electrical energy are presented.

The stand of the Ministry of Industry presents innovative self-driving samples of equipment of BELAZ-HOLDING, innovative developments and technologies of agricultural machinery of Gomselmash OJSC as well as samples of self-driving equipment with a precision farming system of MTW OJSC.

“At the stand of the Ministry of Industry, BelAZ OJSC is presented. The company is engaged in the

production of quarry machinery. At the TIBO-2019 exhibition, we present robotic centers that include a dump truck and a loader, working without human assistance. The “filling” of this dump truck and the loader meets the latest requirements of robotics. It is a dump truck that thinks itself, drives itself – and it happens without human involvement. Its route is registered in the program, and artificial intelligence takes into account the situation around it. We believe that it is a good reason to present this development at TIBO,” said the representative of BelAZ OJSC.

The State Committee on Science and Technology of the Republic of Belarus presented innovative solutions “Within the framework of the State Scientific and Technical Program “Intelligent Information Technologies” for 2016-2020, advanced information technologies and systems are being developed and implemented,” said Aleksandr Shumilin, Chairperson of the State Committee on Science and Technology of the Republic of Belarus.

The State Committee on Science and Technology of the Republic of Belarus

On the basis of SCST, many different projects were implemented in 2018: from startups of students from the leading universities of the country to private entrepreneurs, such as AxxonSoft, R-Nox, Vida link, and CINEMOOD.

As part of the exhibition, AxxonSoft presented an innovative Enterprise-level video surveillance system. This system includes recognition of faces and license plates, the time

compression technology for fast visual search of a specific event with the provision of a high-quality and stable security system. “It should be noted that our project is based entirely on Belarusian data, with the use of Belarusian technologies. Therefore, we present a purely Belarusian product,” said the technical support engineer of AxxonSoft. “We are HTP residents and test our product within the country. Today we have already implemented a number of our products in various spheres. One of our new projects is the project of forest fire suppression and monitoring system. It is designed on the basis of one forestry and includes 3 towers with rotary cameras.”

A young company R-Nox is building an environmental monitoring platform “Digital Air” which includes a high-density network of gas analyzers, and an analytical platform that visualizes the environment and provides information about it. Using this product allows the city to see things that were previously unavailable. “At the moment, we cover areas of such cities as St. Petersburg, Krasnoyarsk, Arkhangelsk, and in the future, we plan to work in Mogilev”, said Vadim Radzivill, Director of the company.

A Russian start-up presented its innovative product, a multicube. Mariia Kashnikova, event coordinator of CINEMOOD, told more about the characteristics and unique features

of the product»: “Our multicube is the great-grandson of the slide projectors that we used to have. We have digitized slide films, cartoons, shadow play, audio fairy tales and put them all inside our cube. This device is designed for children, so the brightness is not so strong here. We have connected the device to IVI and Mult online services to make the product universal.

Vida Link has introduced a new solution in the collection, analysis, and control of data to improve human productivity. According to the representative of the company Igor Khizhniak, the cube is designed to control the environment in the room with the monitoring of a number of indicators: dust, noise, vibration, humidity, temperature, etc.”

Samples of labels, QR-tags, and databases to them were presented. You can also talk with experts who are engaged in the support of the Belarusian satellite.

The Institute of Physics of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus presents LED technology, a special light that is very close to the sunlight.

Grigori Prokopovich, Head of the Laboratory of Robotic Systems of the United Institute of Informatics Problems: “We are engaged in model-based orientation and design. At first, we create an object and control system in a virtual environment, then correct inaccuracies and implement our work into a real sample. For example, now we are introducing a robot waiter,” said the developer.

The stand of the National Academy of Sciences is also presented by the Laboratory of biomedical image analysis, which either creates an entire program that predicts and recognizes fluoros for the presence of diseases, or helps doctors in doing this.

MTS is the country’s largest mobile operator with a wide subscriber base. In 2019, the company once again became the General partner of the TIBO forum. Today, a major part of the country’s population, i.e. 5.5 million people, uses the services of the operator. MTS was the first Belarusian operator to launch 4G services in the country. Today the LTE technology from MTS is available in all district centers of Belarus.

The company provides cellular communication services and high-speed Internet, solutions in the field of Internet of things, cloud technologies, and digital products. The consumer is familiar with such digital services as MTS Money, MTS ID, MTS TV, MTS Cinema, MTS Music, Mobile library, etc. The operator is a member of the UN Global Compact Local Network. The company pays special attention to supporting social projects and implementing its own projects.

Elena Eremenko, Head of Development and Innovation Department of Mobile TeleSystems LLC,

MTS

told about new services and products presented at the stand: “At the stand, the company demonstrates several main areas – financial technology, cloud products, IT products, and products aimed at personal identification. In

the field of financial technology, we cooperate with several banks. In particular, our main product is the MTS-card. We have launched it together with Dabrabyt Bank.

This card, in fact, is a unique

product for the Belarusian market, as the balance of the card is combined with the balance of the mobile phone. Its advantage is that you only need to specify the mobile phone number of the payer to make any payment transactions. Moreover, there’s a cashback for the MTS-card.

In addition to the existing services in the MTS-money service package, we supplement the product with online crediting. The partner is the Bank BelVEB. Perhaps this is the fastest credit that can be obtained to date. The confirmation of the credit is carried out within 30 seconds, and the process of registration takes up to 3 minutes. To apply for credit, you don’t need to visit the bank, look for guarantors or provide certificates. The whole procedure, during which it is necessary to fill in only 7 fields, is carried out online.”

For several years, MTS has been developing the direction of personal identification. Since 2017, the scope of application of MTS ID, an electronic digital signature on a SIM card, has been expanding. With the help of this technology, it is possible to submit a tax declaration to the tax office and the National Social Security Fund. The function is available in the user’s Personal Area for physical entities and individual entrepreneurs.

Moreover, the MTS ID technology was implemented in the mDoc-service of the National Centre for Electronic Services. Thanks to MTS ID, organizations can connect to

the interdepartmental identification system and the

interdepartmental electronic document management system. This allows you to save money on the installation of the software.

Also this year, together with other mobile operators, MTS will present the Mobile-connect service. This technology provides the easiest access to electronic resources. The user just needs to enter his mobile phone number for authorization on the website. In response, a request for authorization confirmation is sent. This means no more need to remember logins and passwords for different websites. Currently, the company is interested in the spreading of this technology and is open to cooperation with Internet resources that are considering its implementation.

MTS is actively developing the direction of e-education. At the

moment, several products have been implemented: the Dzyennik service, an electronic diary for middle school students, the Megabook service, which includes all school materials from the 5th to 11th grade, and the Engster service for learning English. This year the launch of Smart University has been announced, a platform that allows you to learn English with a teacher online. The launch is scheduled for August-September 2019.

One of the most important directions in which the company is moving is the sphere of the Internet of things. At the moment, several pilot projects on remote accounting of water and gas meters have already been carried out. This year, together with Spetskomunavtotrans, the solution on the accounting of the fillability of dumpsters is being tested. Technologies are also actively integrated into the field of animal husbandry with smart collars for cows, capable of measuring the main indicators of animal health.

Video analytics is one more area on which MTS is working. On the territory of its retail network, the operator is testing a solution that allows analyzing video streams. It is assumed that in the future, based on the activity of visitors, organizations will be able to make commercial conclusions allowing rational planning of retail space and creation of video cards to determine the most relevant costs for certain areas of these spaces.

Also, this year the operator will present cloud databases that can be relevant for development companies that test offers.

People like video walls; some make pictures with it in the background. Also, a video aquarium is interesting: it seems the fish are live. Such an aquarium can be

126


installed at any organization: children will be interested and adults can relax. Fish can be replaced with any other image: as such, in our company, it is a fireplace: a ‘live’ image of fire which relaxes, calms and simply looks very good. Speaking about the impressions of the exhibition, it is worth noting a large number of persons and companies interested; we often exchange contacts with, I hope, our future customers and partners.”
