Rutech is excited to host a roadshow of Belarusian startups in London. 8 startup finalists of the BelBiz Battle 2017 are coming to London to meet local UK tech scene. This London roadshow is organised by British Embassy in Belarus, Rutech, and startup-hub Imaguru. In London the roadshow is kindly supported by London & Partners and TLA Russia.

Belarus has been on the tech radar for some time now. First, a video filter app MSQRD was acquired by Facebook in 2016 and later in 2017 Google acquired AIMatter, maker of the Fabby computer vision app. Finally, just before New Year the President of Belarus signed a set of laws “On Digital Economy Development”. Adoption of this law makes Belarus the first world's jurisdiction with the overall legal regulation of businesses based on blockchain technology.

This event is organised in partnership with leading London's tech communities: London New Tech and Tech London Advocates.
