📋 Tender Overview
Director of the Department for Development of Entrepreneurship of the Eurasian Economic Commission Ernar Bakenov took part in a regional meeting dedicated to the development of a network of technology and innovation support centers (TISCs) in Central Asia, which was held in Astana. A joint project aimed at developing work in the field of intellectual property in technology parks of the Eurasian region to expand their capabilities for commercializing the results of intellectual activity was discussed.
In the last two decades, we have seen rapid growth in technology, which requires us to fundamentally change our approaches to economic development. The transition to a hi-tech economy is becoming not only desirable, but also necessary, the Director of the Department noted. Among the key tasks, according to the meeting participants, are improving legal regulation and creating favorable conditions for research, inventive and innovative activities. Access of inventors to high-quality technical information stored in local TISC databases created in all EAEU countries plays a major role in this process.
Ernar Bakenov spoke about the preparation of an analytical review in the field of intellectual property, which contains information on progressive international practice and the results of improving legislation in this area. The EEC representative also shared information on the mechanism of financial assistance to industrial cooperation in the EAEU, introduced in 2024. This instrument is aimed at supporting the real sector of the economy and includes subsidizing the interest rate on loans for the implementation of joint projects. The implementation of such projects will ensure the creation of new industries, increase the volume of mutual trade and investment, intensify exports, and create new jobs, Ernar Bakenov summarized.
