After inception in 2010, Belarus began to build the park in 2012 under an intergovernmental agreement between China and Belarus. The project is located 25 km off Minsk and 15 km off Smaliavicy. The plan is that the park will occupy over 100 sq. km.
The park focuses on nanotechnologies, electronics, biomedicine, pharmaceutics, fine chemicals, optics and mechanical engineering. The plan is that it will sell products to CIS and EU countries. Belarus President Aliaksandr Lukashenka stated earlier he would not rule out that the park could host companies working for the military-industrial sector.
