Venture Day Minsk is supported by the US Agency for International Development. The welcoming speech was delivered by the charge d'affaires of the United States of America in the Republic of Belarus, Robert Reilly:
- What Belarus has done is an example for all. I like to come to this event because - seriously - I'm here because of you. It's not like my usual government meetings. I'm here because I want to be here. Here is the future of Belarus. You are the future of Belarus. You have a great country. I do not say that because it's my job. I have lived in many countries and have not said this before about any country except my own - because I also consider it great. The first thing I say to foreigners: Belarus is not Russia. I spent a lot of time explaining this. You have everything to be proud of your history and country!
