IBC IT Cluster
PROJECT GOAL – INNOVATION CENTER
The creation of the innovation center “IBC IT Cluster” will be carried out on the basis of the IBC Group business center, located at 95 R. Luxemburg Street, Minsk. The innovation center (IC) is being established using the combined financial, administrative resources, practical knowledge, and experience of the business partners.
The owners of the IBC Group business center proposed to reformat the center’s operations, sell the majority of the office and technical spaces, and create an innovation center on their premises where new technologies will be implemented and specialists will be brought in.
The implementation of new organizational and technological solutions will be carried out taking into account the knowledge, experience of the partners, and modern technologies.

The integration of knowledge, experience, and financial resources, upon reaching consensus among the partners (participants), brings benefits to all partners and leads to the success of the project.
Joint cooperation for achieving success:
- Benefits for each participant, although the benefits may vary

- Project monetization – operations through the provision of new paid services
- Reinvestment of incoming funds into new projects and increased revenue
