Introduction of biotechnological industry in RB is planned by State Programme Innovatiotive Biotechnologies for 2010 2012 and the period to 2015, which is already being implemented. Planned programme expenses comprise Br 331billions, Br 104 billions of which are from Republican budget. Borrowed current assets, credit funds and own funds of organizationsparticipants will comprise other allocations . The programme intends to create six new enterprises. 28 enterprises will be moderized and 78 biotechnologies will be created. They are supposed to be introduced into production. The enterprise specialized in blood plasma processing and obtaining different medicines. E.g. particular proteins which are the factors of blood coagulation can be produced from plasm. It is planned to create bacterial concentrate factory for diary enterprises. Such kind of factory is of crucial importance as the major part of bacterial ferments and concentrates are imported. A new enterprise will provide diary complexes with native bacterial concentrates. In addition, the proper line for bacterial preparations, ferments and concentrates will be introduced under the Institute of meat and dairy industry.
Grodno State Agrarian University was established on September, 17, 1951 according to the Decree of Ministers Council of USSR No. 145 as Grodno Agricultural Institute. The Decree of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food, July, 19, 2000, No. 208 the Institute was reorganized as Grodno State Agrarian University. At present 7 227 students study at GrSAU.

Among the 3 universities in Grodno the State Medical University has a prominent place.
Grodno State Medical University today is: 3881 students 1043 employees
There are : 45 doctors of medicine, 37 professors, 170 candidates of sciences, 118 associate professors per 3881 students. It is the best result in the Republic.
History The Grodno State Medical University was founded on August 9, 1958. Initially there was the only one medical faculty. Later, in 1970 a preparatory department was opened, in 1979 a pediatric faculty started its work. The University became the first one in Belarus to open the Department of Nurses with higher education in 1991 and the Faculty of Medical Psychology in 1993. Since 1995 foreign students have been studying here. In 2000 Grodno State Medical University gained the University status. In 2010 Grodno State Medical University got a Certificate of Quality Management (DINEN ISO9001:2008)
