Expert Council for the development of the “Kulibin” SEZ approved the project to establish electronics production

The Expert Council for the development of special economic zone (SEZ) “Kulibin” has approved the application of LLC “BR‑Technology” to obtain resident status. The meeting was chaired by Egor Polyakov, Deputy Governor of the Nizhny Novgorod Region.

“At the first meeting of 2026, the Expert Council supported the establishment of a production facility for electronic components. The project will involve an investment of 300 million rubles. Demand for such products is high across many industries, so I have no doubt that the new enterprise will occupy an important niche in the region’s industrial landscape,” noted Egor Polyakov.

The company plans to set up a production facility for energy storage systems, electronic components, and automated process control systems. The products will be used in the transport sector, energy industry, oil and gas sector. The project is expected to create 33 jobs.

The management company of the “Kulibin” SEZ is the Development Corporation of the Nizhny Novgorod Region.

“The list of projects planned for implementation in the “Kulibin” SEZ has been expanded with another high‑tech production facility. I would also like to highlight that the products to be manufactured will be used in the modernization of public transport in the Nizhny Novgorod Region,” said Igor Ishchenko, Director General of the Development Corporation of the Nizhny Novgorod Region.

For reference, the industrial special economic zone “Kulibin” was established in May 2020 on the territory of the Dzerzhinsk urban district. Today, the Dzerzhinsk part of the “Kulibin” SEZ covers an area of 724 hectares and includes the state site (415 ha), as well as private sites operated by DPO “Plastic”, “Oka‑Polymer”, and “Sintez OKA”. The private sites are already equipped with infrastructure. In November 2025, the Russian Government issued a resolution to expand the SEZ territory by another 117 hectares, incorporating a site in the city of Bor. The total area of the “Kulibin” SEZ now amounts to 842 hectares.
