The Russian government is developing a federal project called "Development of Industrial Robotics and Production Automation," for which it plans to allocate about 350 billion rubles by 2030. These funds will be used to support robot manufacturers and companies implementing robotics in enterprises.
The project includes subsidies for the technical re-equipment of factories, the production of robots and components, as well as compensation for discounts to customers. Preferential leasing and lending terms will also be provided for the implementation of industrial robots.
The shortage of workers in the manufacturing industry, which already exceeds 400,000 people, makes this project relevant for Russia. However, experts note the difficulties of long-term budget planning, given the constant increase in the cost of components for robotics.
