History
International engineering company Unitsky String Technologies Inc. was established in 2015 in Minsk (Belarus). In 7 years the company has progressed from a startup to the business stage. During this period, the team of UST Inc. built six test transport and infrastructure complexes (five more complexes are under construction: three in Belarus and two in the UAE) and created (designed and manufactured) a total of 15 fundamentally different models of cargo and passenger transport in tropical and northern designs. Two R&D Centers were built: EcoTechnoPark (Maryina Gorka, Belarus) and uSky (Sharjah, UAE).
