The authorities of the Sverdlovsk region have announced the launch of three dozen industrial projects with a total investment of 34.5 billion rubles in a year and a half. Most of them will be located on the territory of the special economic zone (SEZ) "Titanium Valley", whose residents receive tax benefits, including a reduction in the profit rate and exemption from VAT.
In Verkhnyaya Salda, where the first stage of the SEZ is located, three companies will invest 10.35 billion rubles. The Rossko holding, through RP1, will build a brake disc plant for 9 billion rubles, Keramax-Electra will launch the production of welding products for 400 million rubles, and the Isetsk Forge and Mechanical Plant (IKMZ) will invest 900 million rubles in the production of titanium ingots. According to expert Leonid Khazanov, IKMZ may compete with the city-forming enterprise VSMPO-Avisma due to small orders.
In the Sysertsky district, businessman Andrei Simanovsky ("Simaland") will create a logistics complex for 10 billion rubles, and six productions will be launched at the Yekaterinburg site of the SEZ by 2027, including a gas equipment plant of the United Oil and Gas Group (3.5 billion rubles) and a workshop for the production of programmable controllers.
New productions will also be built outside the SEZ. Thus, the Bogoslovsky industrial park in Krasnoturyinsk, a monotown with the status of a territory of advanced development, will host five new factories. MineralLab will build a laboratory complex for Polymetal for 1 billion rubles, other residents will be engaged in the production of cable products and oil and gas equipment.
Projects for the production of electronics will start in the Cosmos technology park in Yekaterinburg: LIGA group will start producing laptops and tablets, and the Ural Design Bureau "Detal" will produce microchips. The first stage of the complex with an area of 15 thousand square meters will be completed at the end of 2025.
Tax deductions and investment protection agreements are in place in the Sverdlovsk region to attract investors. The Investment Promotion Agency supports 82 projects worth 72 billion rubles. The Sverdlovsk region, rising to 11th place in the national investment climate rating, is focusing on training personnel through the Professionalitet project. By 2026, seven colleges in the region will begin training specialists to meet the needs of enterprises.
