From September 29 to October 1, 2025, Minsk became a center of advanced technology, hosting the INNOPROM international exhibition. This large-scale B2B forum brought together over 500 participants from around the world, including leading representatives of industry and high technology. At the event, BELAZ presented its latest developments in mining equipment.

At the first INNOPROM in Minsk, BELAZ, in partnership with RT-Business Development LLC (part of State Corporation «Rostec») and JSC «InDev Solutions», presented the future of the mining industry. The synergy of experience allowed us to demonstrate innovative engineering developments, advanced digital solutions and environmentally friendly energy systems. The central element of the exhibition was a model visually demonstrating the future of mining equipment: autonomous robotic dump trucks and hydrogen-powered dump trucks on the scale of a real mining enterprise.

The three days of INNOPROM were filled with business negotiations. This exhibition became an effective business platform for BELAZ, where a number of strategically important agreements were signed:

– BELAZ and Sibkor (Russia): Memorandum of Cooperation in the field of Digitalization, aimed at robotizing mining trucks. Sergey Lesin, General Director of BELAZ company, emphasized that this agreement paves the way for the creation of an "unmanned mine". The project provides for the formation of working groups, the selection of a pilot site (a coal mine) and the start of practical implementation in 2026, including the creation of infrastructure and the production of unmanned dump trucks.

– New Technology Venture: OJSC BELAZ, RT-Business Development LLC (Russia), and InDev Solutions JSC (Belarus) signed an agreement to establish a new venture. Its goal is to combine advanced engineering achievements, digital technologies, and clean energy to serve the needs of the mining industry. The project involves the development of unmanned, hydrogen-powered 220-ton BELAZ mining trucks, which will improve mining efficiency in Russia and strengthen both countries' leading positions in unmanned technologies.

– BELAZ and «SPE «Dynamics» (Russia): Cooperation Agreement in the field of development of liquefied natural gas-powered vehicles, including the supply of automotive components.

Numerous business meetings with leading international companies and government representatives became an important part of BelAZ's participation. The BELAZ stand was visited by distinguished guests — the Heads of Government of Belarus and Russia, Alexander Turchin and Mikhail Mishustin, Deputy Chairman of the Board of PJSC Gazprom - Vitaly Markelov and other high-ranking officials. These visits confirmed the high interest in BELAZ’s products and technologies, and also contributed to the strengthening and expansion of partnerships.

BELAZ's stand also featured enterprises that are part of BELAZ-HOLDING: OJSC "MZOR", JSC “Crane Plant”, OJSC “BELAZ-SERVICE”, OJSC "Kuzlitmash". They demonstrated their export potential and held a number of negotiations with potential partners on the supply of products and the manufacture of components for the Russian and domestic markets. In addition, issues related to financial support of transactions were discussed with representatives of the banking sector, as well as with a number of logistics companies to build optimal supply chains.

Furthermore, a new joint venture, Hydraulic United Company JSC, created with the participation of OJSC BELAZ and JSC Pnevmostroymashina, was included in the exhibition. Its products - hydraulic axial piston pumps, became the subject of negotiations with representatives of the Research and Development center of manufacture of combine harvesters of OJSC GOMSELMASH, JSC MTW and JSC Amkodor, holding managing company.

BELAZ SHOP with branded merchandising attracted special attention of visitors: branded souvenirs, scale models of equipment, clothing, children's goods and accessories.

INNOPROM traditionally serves as a large-scale platform for thematic sessions. This year, BELAZ experts traditionally shared their knowledge and vision for the future, making a significant contribution to the discussion of current trends and challenges facing modern industry.

For BELAZ, participation in INNOPROM was a clear confirmation of the significant interest in its products and innovative technologies. The company successfully expanded its network of business contacts and strengthened its position on the international stage. BELAZ continues to pursue its innovative development strategy aimed at creating high-quality and competitive products that meet the latest market demands. Large-scale events like INNOPROM serve as a crucial platform for finding new partners and working together towards progress.
