A competition called "Leaders of the Digital Economy — 2026" is being held in Belarus. Registration of participants will remain open until November 6. This year the number of nominations has increased to 30, with new categories added in the fields of cybersecurity and smart cities. A jury of 20 leading experts evaluates digital products and projects implemented at enterprises. Last year, awards were given to participants from more than ten industries, including energy, mechanical engineering, medicine, and education. The majority of applications traditionally come from Minsk and the surrounding region.

As part of the competition, the fourth conference will be held, this year in an international format. The organizers note that the competition not only identifies the best solutions but also helps promote them. For example, a project for managing BELAZ unmanned quarry equipment, after winning in 2025, attracted new customers and became the foundation for a joint venture with Russian partners. The awards ceremony for the winners will take place on December 9.
