An electric garbage truck, agricultural drones, and hybrid crossovers – what will surprise guests at INNOPROM. Belarus

Only a few days remain until the opening of the International Industrial Exhibition "INNOPROM. Belarus," which will be held in Minsk from September 29 to October 1, 2025, at the BELEXPO International Exhibition Center. On the eve of the event, a press conference was held with Mikhail Myatlikov, Chairman of the Belarusian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, to discuss the organization and hosting of this large-scale event.

Opening the conference, Mikhail Myatlikov emphasized that this industrial exhibition is being held in Belarus for the first time. Our country has regularly participated in this event. And in 2023, when INNOPROM was held in Yekaterinburg, Belarus was a partner country.

– This time, the Republic of Belarus will be represented at 70 stands, including group exhibits. Around 200 domestic companies will showcase their products and new developments. The exhibition will cover such industries as mechanical engineering, industrial IT technologies, metallurgy, industrial automation, the chemical industry, and industrial services. Approximately 7,000 participants and visitors from 22 countries have already registered. We expect a large number of guests. This is a great responsibility for us," said Mikhail Myatlikov.

As First Deputy Minister of Industry of Belarus Andrei Konyushko noted, holding such an event in Minsk highlights the achievements and success of the Belarusian manufacturing complex.

"This isn't just an exhibition; it's a truly large-scale industrial event that brings together leading companies not only from Belarus but also from several dozen other countries," Andrei Konyushko emphasized.

A number of companies from the Ministry of Industry will showcase their products at the exhibition. MAZ products will be located in the central part of the Belarusian pavilion. The company will present both familiar models and many new products, including an innovative electric garbage truck. Its features include numerous technical and design solutions for the convenience of operating personnel, such as a low-floor cabin, efficient waste compaction, and user-friendly controls. This equipment will also serve well for city residents. Since waste is most often collected in the morning, the electric garbage truck will not create much noise on city streets.

Another new product is a third-generation 51-seat tourist bus, with accommodation for a guide and increased comfort for passengers and drivers.

One of the pavilion's highlights will also be located here: a new generation of fire and rescue vehicles with a 52-meter aerial ladder. BELGEE CJSC will showcase a signature product of the domestic automotive industry: the BELGEE X80 PHEV hybrid crossover. A model demonstrating autonomous control technology for hydrogen-powered BELAZ vehicles will be on display at the BELAZ stand.

Companies from 23 regions of the Russian Federation are expected to participate in INNOPROM. Belarus. The stands will feature a wide range of exhibits and developments from Russian manufacturers. These include an intelligent railway crossing, a system for designing and manufacturing composite products, an agricultural drone, an adult patient simulator for training doctors in various fields, and much more.

Collective exhibits from Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, and other countries will also be on display.

Along with the INNOPROM. Belarus exhibition, the CIS Council of Heads of Government and a meeting of the Eurasian Intergovernmental Council are scheduled to take place.

"We expect the heads of government of the CIS countries – almost all of them in person," noted Belarusian Deputy Foreign Minister Pavel Utyupin.

Furthermore, a number of agreements, contracts, and memorandums between companies and organizations will be signed during the exhibition.
