Valer Tsapkala, the founder of the HTP, said he intends to participate in the 2020 presidential elections. The businessman wrote about it on his Facebook page.

“I have decided to run for the post of President of Belarus! I have enough managerial and life experience for that! Having serious contacts in political and business circles around the world, I will be able to use them for the benefit of the people of Belarus! By creating the High Technology Park, I have shown both Belarus and the world that our people can be as smart, creative and enterprising as Americans, Englishmen, Japanese, Koreans and other successful peoples of the Earth,” Valer Tsapkala wrote.
