Two high-tech productions have started operating simultaneously in the "Technopolis Moscow" special economic zone: Russia's first robotic line for the production of liquid crystal display modules and a unique serial production of optical transceivers. This should ensure technological independence in critically important industries.

Display modules with diagonals from 11 to 86 inches are intended for aviation, transport, automotive, industrial automation, medical equipment, banking and elevator equipment, as well as for consumer electronics. Previously, such components were entirely supplied from abroad. After reaching full capacity, the plant will produce about 500 thousand units per year — this is approximately 50% of the needs of the Central Federal District. The NexTouch Group of Companies noted that the products are included in the register of the Russian radio-electronic industry and use domestic components.

The second production is high-speed optical transceivers based on photonic integrated circuits. The new devices are capable of transmitting data at speeds of 400 and 800 Gbit/s, which is critically important for the development of 5G networks and the modernization of telecom infrastructure. Thanks to the launch of the Moscow Photonics Center, a complete technological cycle has been organized — from the component base to finished products.

Private investments in the creation of the two productions exceeded 7.2 billion rubles. The Moscow Government provided residents of the SEZ with benefits, including zero property and transport taxes for 10 years and a reduced income tax rate (only 2%). About 400 new jobs have been created at the enterprises.
