Minsk is hosting Belarus-Kazakhstan business forum. On the agenda is cooperation in machine building, chemical industry and pharmaceutics. A new area is interaction in space industry.Deputy head of the Belarusian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Vladimir Ulakhovich, says

“Recently, a working group on space cooperation has been set up. This may be of interest for small business, since, for example, the components of the Belarusian satellite do not require a large scale production. In this respect the working group opens the door for promoting innovations and it concerns small business as well”
