Entrepreneur's Day
Today, on the Day of Russian Entrepreneurship, the head of the Tatarstan Investment Agency Talia Minullina participated in a meeting with the business community of the republic in the House of Entrepreneurs.
Rustam Minnikhanov congratulated entrepreneurs on the holiday and noted that consistent work is being carried out in the republic to create favorable conditions for the development of entrepreneurial initiative.
Rustam Minnikhanov noted that Tatarstan was one of the first Russian regions to adopt its own program for the development of the e-commerce industry. At the end of last year, the number of Tatarstan entrepreneurs who trade through marketplaces doubled and reached 45 thousand. This year this figure reached 49 thousand. In 2022, they sold goods worth more than 50 billion rubles.
The entrepreneurs themselves spoke about the implementation of their business projects, the use of various support measures, their experience of entering foreign markets, and also voiced a number of proposals.
The director of the management company of industrial parks in Naberezhnye Chelny, Nizhnekamsk and Mendeleevsk asked to expand the terms of the preferential lending program for industrial mortgages. Rustam Minnikhanov noted that the republic has already initiated changes to this program. It is planned to voice these issues at the next meeting of the Prime Minister of the Russian Federation with business representatives. “We need to be more involved in industrial mortgages. This would be serious support,” he said.
Special attention at the meeting was paid to the topic of development of the halal segment. Tatarstan producers of cheese, honey, clothing and cosmetics spoke about their products and plans to enter the markets of the countries of the Islamic world.
