The INNOPROM. Belarus exhibition has opened in Minsk

The INNOPROM. Belarus International Industrial Exhibition will be held in Minsk for the first time from September 29 to October 1, 2025, at the Minsk International Exhibition Center. The total exhibition space exceeds 20,000 square meters, including an outdoor area for large-scale equipment demonstrations.

The exhibition's main sections cover mechanical engineering and components, metallurgy and materials, the chemical industry, industrial IT, industrial automation, and industrial services.

Over 510 companies are participating in the exhibition, including over 290 from 23 regions of Russia, over 190 from Belarus, and over 30 foreign companies from Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan, represented in their national exhibits.

Many companies are presenting their latest products at the exhibition. For example, the Minsk Automobile Plant showcased a full-scale prototype of the improved MAZ-X hybrid truck. The new product features an improved cabin layout, including a passenger area, a rest area, and a galley, as well as an integrated Belarusian-made instrument panel. This model also features enhanced localization and increased drivetrain power. A Class 6 internal combustion engine is used, replacing the previously used Class 5 engine. These solutions maximize the benefits of a hybrid drive while providing a range comparable to diesel vehicles.

Visitors to the exhibition will also be able to see prototypes from AMKODOR Holding, which have not yet entered serial production. Specifically, the AMKODOR W100—a versatile vehicle developed jointly with St. Petersburg municipal services for use in narrow courtyards. The equipment has successfully passed testing, and certain refinements are being made to the design. A contract for the supply of 100 units is planned.

The State Committee for Science and Technology presented its scientific and technical developments, including a product quality control system based on machine vision technologies from the Yanka Kupala State University of Grodno. This system enables image processing, defect detection, and product parameter analysis in real time using machine vision and artificial intelligence, which in turn accelerates development, improves accuracy, and reduces the cost of the system, tailored to customer requirements.

A number of important contracts and agreements are being signed on the sidelines of the INNOPROM. Belarus International Industrial Exhibition. For example, the Baranovichi Machine-Tool Plant, a branch of Atlant CJSC, and the Russian Metrovagonmash JSC (part of Transmashholding JSC) signed an agreement that will enable the supply of components for metro cars and strengthen cooperation between Belarus and Russia. A Cooperation Agreement was also signed between FSUE NAMI and MAZ OJSC, an Agreement on the Establishment of Sister City Relations between Gomel (Republic of Belarus) and Yekaterinburg (Russian Federation), and other agreements.

The Belarusian Chamber of Commerce and Industry is also participating in the exhibition. On the first day, Mikhail Myatlikov, Chairman of the Belarusian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, toured the Belarusian and Russian exhibits and tested some of the companies' new products. He is also scheduled to participate in the main plenary session of INNOPROM. Belarus: "Union of New Technologies: Creating the Industry of the Future."

At the invitation of Robot Plant LLC, the only robot manufacturing plant in the Russian Federation, BelCCI Deputy Chair Elena Malinovskaya attended the Chelyabinsk Region booth presentation and learned about the products on display.
