The Moscow region has become the leader among the regions of the Russian Federation in the number of robots in industrial enterprises. It has 29 robots per 10,000 people, and it is planned to increase this number fivefold in the future, said the Deputy Chairman of the Government and Minister of Investment, Industry and Science of the Moscow Region, Ekaterina Zinovieva.
The Moscow region ranks first in Russia in terms of the number of robots. Our enterprises use over 1.9 thousand industrial robots. This is the highest level of industrial robotization in the country.
Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin set the task of becoming one of the leading countries in terms of the level of industrial robotization. Zinovieva noted that the Moscow region is striving to reach a figure of 145 robots per 10,000 people.
The Minister said that the Moscow region is launching a new subsidy program for manufacturers of industrial robots. Businesses will be able to compensate up to 20% of the costs of their production. If a company plans to work in rented premises, the region will compensate up to 50% of the rental cost in private industrial parks. Special conditions are provided for state industrial parks: a company can rent a room to implement its project for only 1 ruble per 1 square meter.
