On October 16, Vitebsk /Diana Kurilo - BELTA/. One-fifth of the output shipped by enterprises of the Vitebsk region is innovative, the Economics Committee of the Vitebsk Regional Executive Committee informed a BELTA correspondent. The industrial complex of the region has actively engaged in the creation of innovative products. For January-September of the current year, innovative products worth Br10.5 trillion were produced and shipped, which constitutes 21.5% of the total volume of shipped products. Along with increasing the output of already mastered types, enterprises are working on the introduction of new product types. For example, OJSC "Visas" has started the production of gear grinding semi-automatic machines, and OJSC "Naftan" has produced nitron-D fiber tow for the first time. Under the State Program for Innovative Development of Belarus for 2011-2015, 13 projects are being implemented in the region, aimed at introducing innovative technologies into the production sphere, increasing production volumes, and creating and modernizing highly efficient jobs. Since the beginning of the program's implementation, 4 projects have been completed. At the private enterprise "Natur-green", the production of a wood-coal carburizer has been organized, which is used for surface carburizing of steel products and is a specially processed fraction of charcoal. Another private scientific and production enterprise "Spectravtomarkompleks" is implementing a project of the V-VI technological order - it is creating the production of an automated multifunctional fluorescent analyzer of biological cells and tissues with high resolution. This device belongs to specialized medical equipment and can be used for laboratory diagnostics of various diseases. Two projects have been implemented at the Novopolotsk printing house and OJSC "Verkhnedvinsk Butter and Cheese Factory". Since the beginning of the current year, for the first time under the state program for innovative development, two projects are being implemented with the participation of funds from the Belarusian Innovation Fund: the development and implementation of a new technology for the production of cement-porous sheets, ensuring resource saving and import substitution in construction at OO "OrshaCHEMBel", and the expansion of production of boilers and boiler equipment at NPP "Belkotlomash".
