The total volume of shipments over the year amounted to 549.9 billion rubles. The industrial production index of the industry is estimated at 99.5 percent. We have a lot to work on. We understand what this is all about: it's the general economic situation, trade restrictions at the level of Russia, and many other things,” reported Taliya Minullina, the Head of the Tatarstan Investment Development Agency
The Machine-Building Cluster consists of 15 committees. Talia Ilgizovna stressed some of them: the committee of the Eurasian technology platform, the committee on the development of subcontracting and the committee on the development of intangible assets.
“As I head the Tatarstan Investment Development Agency, I would like to report that investments in fixed assets for 2019 were estimated at 640 billion rubles. In 2019, 69 new residents came to our federal sites and 2 of them are members of the Machine Cluster: "Piton Kama" has the resident status at TOSER (Territory of Advanced Socio-Economic Development) "Nizhnekamsk", and "Bonus Kama" relates to TOSER "Mendeleyevsk". We wish them success. We are expecting these enterprises to open this year. In addition, an investment agreement has already been signed in 2020, and now two companies that are members of the cluster will join TOSER "Mendeleyevsk": "Tatinstrument" and "Kamkhimmash,” said Taliya Minullina, thanking Sergei Mayorov, Chairman of the Machine Cluster Board for joint work.
