Digital investment navigator for BRICS SEZ was presented in Nizhny Novgorod

On September 18, during the III International Forum of Special Economic Zones held in Nizhny Novgorod, the digital investment navigator for BRICS SEZ was presented. Developed jointly by the Association of Clusters, Technoparks, and SEZs of Russia together with the Development Corporation of the Nizhny Novgorod Region under the auspices of the International Association of BRICS SEZ.

The service allows potential investors to familiarize themselves with the preferential regimes of BRICS countries, an interactive map of special economic zones of the union's ten active members, and submit applications for locating their production facilities on selected platforms.

As emphasized by Andrey Sanosyan, Deputy Governor of Nizhny Novgorod Region, "Nizhny Novgorod special economic zone "Kulibin" has already been visited several times by companies from BRICS countries. Its placement on the new platform will increase its visibility internationally. Moreover, the service will enable local companies to explore potential markets and partners."

According to Mikhail Labudin, Director of the Association of Clusters, Technoparks, and SEZs of Russia, the work was carried out in response to demand from foreign investors.

“We have created a tool that gives businesses access to information about more than three thousand preferential territories in BRICS countries. It helps minimize costs, speed up administrative procedures, and integrate into global supply chains. Our goal is to turn the platform into a practical service for companies planning to develop production and export globally,” he said.

Organizers of the forum included the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia, the Association of Clusters, Technoparks, and SEZs of Russia, the Government of Nizhny Novgorod Region, and the Development Corporation of the Nizhny Novgorod Region.

Partners supporting the forum were "Instrument" group of companies, "Sintez Oka" group of companies, "Spar Middle Volga" LLC. Media partners included Radio Holding "Vyberi Radio", "Kommersant Privolzhie", and magazine "Russian Business Guide".
