Heads of more than 100 companies took part in the meeting, dedicated to the investment results of the year

The heads of more than 100 companies took part in a meeting with the leadership of the Nizhny Novgorod Region dedicated to the investment results of 2024. The meeting with investors was organized by the Development Corporation of the Nizhny Novgorod Region.

“Against the backdrop of new challenges, the Nizhny Novgorod Region remains a favorable place to implement remarkable and innovative investment projects. More and more large investors choose our region to implement their plans and initiatives. We see new sites emerging, and the existing production facilities being expanded. And I express my personal gratitude to each investor present here for their contribution to the region’s economy. Your work and dedication give a new impetus to the development of the Nizhny Novgorod Region. For its part, the regional government welcomes this interest and continues to work on the new support mechanisms for various industries and develop preferential territories” – said Gleb Nikitin, Governor of the Nizhny Novgorod Region.

During the event, Deputy Governor of the Nizhny Novgorod Region Andrey Sanosyan and Director General of the Regional Development Corporation Igor Ishchenko presented certificates to four companies that had previously received the resident status of the special economic zone (SEZ) “Kulibin”. Their projects were approved by the expert council of SEZ in 2024.

Certificates were presented to the companies Stalnye Sistemy-Kulibin LLC (metalworking complex and production of cable support systems), Sintez-OKA-Poliefir LLC (production of polyalkylene glycols and simple polyethers), Basaltovye Ognezashchitnye Tekhnologii LLC (production of fire-protective and thermal insulation materials) and FotUr LLC (production of low-tonnage chemical products).

Andrey Sanosyan recalled that since 2017, the Nizhny Novgorod Region has risen 68 positions in the national investment climate rating compiled by the Agency for Strategic Initiatives (ASI).

“This rating is a notable benchmark for us. It shows the investor satisfaction with all the procedures and the support provided at all stages of the investment process – from the idea to actually implementing the project. Now we are going even further, providing support in resolving HR and export issues. The relevant criteria will also be reflected in the upd ated National Rating of the Investment Climate. I would like to thank all investors for the high bar they se t for our work. Perhaps this is immodest, but I believe that these are the best investors who have chosen the best region for investing”, – Andrey Sanosyan said.

During the event, the participants also discussed plans for the development of investment activities in the Nizhny Novgorod Region in 2025, measures of state support for business, and the interaction of entrepreneurs with the government authorities.

“The outgoing year 2024 can be called successful for the Nizhny Novgorod Region as a whole and the Development Corporation in particular. With our support, a number of production facilities have started their activities in the region, and three residents have opened their enterprises at the “Kulibin” SEZ site. There is still a lot of work ahead: development of the territory of the special economic zone in the city of Bor, completion of the construction of engineering infrastructure at the state site in Dzerzhinsk, support for large investment projects that are yet to open, and, of course, attracting new investors to the Nizhny Novgorod Region”, – said Igor Ishchenko.

The partners of the event were SZ Andor, advertising agency MOST, AURAT JSC, Metallservis-Povolzhye LLC and Sobaka.ru.
