The Agency for Innovation and Digital Development has issued technopark registration certificates to seven companies that operate in the fields of system integration, software development, and development. With these certificates, the companies can function as residents of the technology park beyond During a presentation ceremony at the Innovation and Digital Development Agency on March 1, 2023, Rashad Khalikov, the Deputy Chairman of the Management Board, presented the "Registration Certificate" to company managers who are residents of the technology park but conduct activities outside of it. These companies will be exempt from income and profit tax, dividend, property, and land tax for 10 years. They will also be able to take advantage of benefits and options for social insurance payment, and foreign specialists in the information and communication technology field will not need a work permit.

They will also receive some income tax benefits: 0% for up to 8000 manats, 5% for amounts exceeding 8000 manats, and 5% of income for 7 years from 01.01.2026.
