More than 14 thousand production sites: The Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation has presented an investment map of Russia

The Ministry of Economic Development of Russia has developed an investment map of Russia. It has already been put into operation and is available to Russian and foreign entrepreneurs and investors. This was announced by the Minister of Economic Development Maxim Reshetnikov during the plenary session of the Entrepreneurship Day of the forum-exhibition "Russia" at VDNH.

The platform is based on data from investment maps of the subjects of the Russian Federation, which were developed during the implementation of the regional investment standard under the leadership of First Deputy Prime Minister Andrei Belousov.

-The investment map of Russia will help to strengthen work with investments in the regions. We developed it with the Moscow Government and launched it at the beginning of the month. For businesses, this is an opportunity to choose a plot of land for any project: from opening a cafe to building a large industrial plant. The map contains data on almost 14 thousand investment sites: their size, equipment, and available support measures, Maxim Reshetnikov said.

On the map, you can assess the business environment of the future project: sales markets, preferential treatment, availability of minerals and infrastructure - from road surface to cellular communications. If the necessary connections are not available, the conditions of technical connection are indicated on the site cards. The map allows you to search for sites in different regions and compare their capabilities. It contains information about the key macroeconomic indicators of the Russian regions that may have an impact on the implementation of the project. All this makes it possible to estimate the costs of the project and select measures of state support.

The map was developed at the request of the business, it has already been evaluated by representatives of "Business Russia", the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs and the Chamber of Commerce of the Russian Federation. Regional executive authorities and investment development agencies provide regular filling and updating of the investment map.

Earlier, the Ministry of Economic Development developed a portal of measures to support investment projects. In 2023, it was used by more than 80 thousand unique users. New support measures have also appeared, there are 30 of them in total. These include assistance in lending, preferential regimes, tax and tariff benefits.
