BelTech: Going Global 2.0

NOVEMBER 16, 2024

About the Conference

BelTechGlobal is the largest offline conference for Belarusian technology businesses abroad. BelTech 1.0, held in February 2024 in Warsaw, brought together over 350 Belarusians from 9 countries, establishing itself as a key platform for the revival of the Belarusian technology ecosystem, which had been fragmented due to mass migration.

The conference will be held entirely in English, with one presentation in Belarusian.

Last Year’s Highlights: program, photos and videos.

The conference goals remain steadfast:

Foster Revival and Growth: Promote the revival, formation, and establishment of a new Belarusian technological and innovation ecosystem.
Strengthen Business Partnerships: Recreate and strengthen business partnerships among representatives of Belarusian tech businesses
Facilitate International Integration: Support the integration of Belarusian companies into global ecosystems, helping them establish sustainable international connections.
