The authorities of the Sverdlovsk region have announced the launch of three dozen industrial projects with a total investment volume 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 reduced profit tax rate and VAT exemption.
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 Andrey 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 Yekaterinburg technology park "Cosmos": LIGA group will start producing laptops and tablets, and the Ural Design Bureau "Detal" — microchips. The first stage of the complex with an area of 15 thousand square meters will be commissioned at the end of 2025.
Tax deductions and investment protection agreements are in place in the Sverdlovsk region to attract investors. The Investment Attraction 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.
