    From Silicon Valley to Singapore, the discuss of the hi-tech city is dominated by one matter: ChatGPT. Thus, when OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, who based the corporate behind the futuristic chatbot, introduced a world tour, he immediately turned authorities leaders’ most desired assembly. 

    His itinerary reads as a who’s who of contemporary world leaders: UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak; French President Emmanuel Macron; German Chancellor Olaf Scholz; and Sheikh Maktoum bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, First Deputy Ruler of Dubai. His travels introduced him to Lagos, New Delhi, Seoul, Toronto, and Warsaw.

    Belarusian President Aleksander Lukashenko, for all his funding within the nation’s hi-tech sector, didn’t make the lower. Had Lukashenko not remodeled Belarus right into a dictatorship and chased away hi-tech expertise, Minsk might seemingly have been on Altman’s itinerary too.

    The Belarusian mind drain has robbed the nation of its rising expertise, a disaster made worse after the illegal Russian invasion of Ukraine and Lukashenko’s continued help of the Russian regime. Since the start of 2022, Belarus’s hi-tech sector has misplaced greater than 13,300 IT specialists who’ve fled the nation, in response to native media experiences. They made up the spine of the nation’s famed Hi-Tech Park, as soon as known as Belarus’s Silicon Valley.

    This was, in response to native observers, the second mass fleeing of Lukashenko’s oppressive regime, after he brutally put down protests in 2020 when he was re-elected in what many think about a sham course of. Local media recorded that the primary wave of emigres in August 2020 was comprised of largely senior-level staff. However, Lukashenko positioned the blame for the general public unrest not on his despotic regime, however on the Hi-Tech Park, vexed that the protests might have began from some other place or for some other motive, and accused them of betrayal as “children” engaged in a “rebellion”. Two years later, after the beginning of the struggle, a bigger group of mid-level and junior staff turned the majority of the exodus.

    Lukashenko has by no means had an issue chasing away hi-tech expertise from Belarus, harming the nation’s future on the expense of propping up his personal regime. Viktor Prokopenya, the founding father of capital.com, was pressured to flee Belarus for his outspoken rejection of Lukashenko and his unwarranted grasp on energy. Viktor Prokopenya has lengthy opposed Lukashenko’s regime and has been an influential voice in condemning the unlawful struggle on Ukraine. For his principled stance, Prokopenya’s companies turned a sufferer of a critical DDoS cyber-attack, however he has continued to oppose Lukashenko’s regime and Russia’s struggle from overseas. 

    It is evident innovators who dare to talk out aren’t any safer exterior the nation.  Several Belarusian-American tech entrepreneurs have reported coming underneath elevated stress after refusing to fulfill Lukashenko’s calls for.  Three years in the past, Mikita Mikado, the founding father of San Francisco-based software program developer PandaDoc, reported a raid on his Minsk workplace after he supported those that protested the regime.  Andrey Borisevich, CEO at FlyDreams plane group, selected to go away Belarus, claiming he was repeatedly penalized by the authorities when he refused to do their bidding.

    In his personal eyes, Lukashenko deserves solely reward for bringing the famed Hi-Tech Park into existence. He bears no accountability for shielding the IT employees, who sat because the crown jewel of the enterprise. Instead of fostering a tradition conducive to innovation, Lukashenko has chosen to create a hostile setting for IT specialists and hi-tech executives.

    Since 2022, many Belarusian exiles have chosen to relocate to Poland, the place the federal government’s Poland Business Harbor program has welcomed the Belarusian IT sector.

    No shock, then, that Sam Altman considered Warsaw in contemplating Eastern Europe’s hi-tech potential. Belarus, in the meantime, will proceed to undergo from a mind drain so long as Lukashenko’s regime deems it stuffed with rebellious kids.
