About 75 000 people visited the investment portal of the Nizhny Novgorod Region in 2025

Around 75 000 people visited the investment portal of the Nizhny Novgorod Region in 2025. This figure exceeds the 2024 results by 3.5 %.

Earlier, the investment portal of the Nizhny Novgorod Region was awarded the title of the best in the country based on the results of the national prize “Leaders of Investment Development‑2025”, organized by the National Association of Investment and Development Agencies (NAAIR).

The most frequently viewed pages were “Investment Projects” (over 7 000 visits) and “Support Measures” (around 6 500 visits). Following in terms of popularity were the sections “Development Strategy of the Nizhny Novgorod Region”, “Regional Team”, and “Events and News”.

More than 5 000 users took advantage of the “Support Measures Calculator” service. The most sought‑after topics among investors included preferential lending programs, reimbursement of expenses for projects in industry, tourism, and agriculture, and support measures for the restoration and operation of cultural heritage sites.

In 2025, several services on the investment portal underwent modernization. The “Investor Issues Resolution” service was updated to include a selection of inquiry topics, infographics illustrating the service’s operational mechanism, and information on the processing timeframes for incoming requests. The investment projects showcase was also refreshed: project cards now feature details on available state support measures that can be obtained during project implementation, and each project was assigned a unique URL.

The investment portal is overseen by the Regional Development Corporation. “The investment portal contains virtually all the information an investor needs to launch a project: general data about the region, available support measures, investment niches, and more. We understand that such a service must be user‑friendly, so we continuously improve it. We are pleased that, according to statistics, users notice these improvements”, – noted Igor Ishchenko, Director General of the Nizhny Novgorod Region Development Corporation.

On the investment portal, entrepreneurs can access detailed information about the Nizhny Novgorod Region and its municipalities (including available infrastructure and regional support measures), current investment offers, and implemented elements of the regional investment standard. Additionally, they can submit applications for land plot selection and request support for investment projects.

Key resources available on the portal include the Investment Map (https://newmap.nn-invest.ru/#/en/map), which currently features over 470 investment territories and includes a video guide to help users adapt to the map’s functionality. There is also a Survey Module (https://nn-invest.ru/surveys/) that enables entrepreneurs to evaluate the regulatory environment, business institutions, infrastructure, and support for small and medium‑sized enterprises.

Entrepreneurs can contact the corporation via several channels: a hotline (0052), a chatbot integrated into the investment portal, or the contact numbers listed in the “Contacts” section of the portal.

JSC “Nizhny Novgorod Region Development Corporation” was established at the initiative of Governor Gleb Nikitin. The organization facilitates project implementation at every stage – 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.
