Seventeen investment sites were implemented in the Nizhny Novgorod Region in 2025 thanks to the Russian Investment Map

Using the Russian Investment Map (https://invest.gov.ru/), 17 investment sites were sold in the Nizhny Novgorod Region in 2025. In terms of this indicator, the region ranks third among the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. The Russian Investment Map was developed by the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia jointly with the Moscow city government.

The platform aggregates data from the investment maps of Russian regions, which were created as part of implementing the regional investment standard. Using the map, one can assess the business environment for a future project: sales markets, preferential regimes, availability of mineral resources and infrastructure – from road surfaces to mobile communications. If necessary connections are missing, the site cards indicate engineering infrastructure facilities for potential technical connection.

Additionally, the map allows users to search for sites across different regions and compare their opportunities. It compiles information on key macroeconomic indicators of Russian regions that may impact project implementation.

It should be recalled that the Nizhny Novgorod region also operates a regional investment map (https://newmap.nn-invest.ru/#/en/map), which is a bilingual (Russian and English) public map of the region. The Nizhny Novgorod Region Development Corporation is responsible for maintaining the investment maps.

“The investment map is a convenient tool for selecting a site that meets all project requirements. In each site’s card, you can find contact details of our territorial managers or the owner, which also helps speed up the purchase process. Information about available territories is upd ated regularly, ensuring that entrepreneurs always have access to up‑to‑date information about vacant spaces”, – noted Igor Ishchenko, Director General of the Nizhny Novgorod Region Development Corporation.

The map was developed in accordance with the regional investment standard – a system aimed at creating favorable conditions for doing business in the region. Its components include an investment declaration, a development agency, an investment committee, an investment map, and a se t of investment rules that outline the entire “customer journey” for investors. The standard is designed to optimize interactions between investors and government bodies or utility providers, as well as to reduce project implementation timelines. To date, all elements of the investment standard have been implemented in the region.

The investment map of the Nizhny Novgorod Region was recognized as the best in the country based on the results of the national award “Leaders of Investment Development‑2024”.

It should also be recalled that JSC «Nizhny Novgorod Region Development Corporation» was established on the initiative of Governor Gleb Nikitin. The organization supports project implementation at all stages – from providing information about the region and possible support measures, to inspecting investment sites and commissioning facilities. It assumes responsibility for coordinating with executive authorities, local governments, natural monopolies, and other relevant organizations.
