Also, a meeting with a member of the “Club of the First” Sergei Pimenov on the topic of current areas for investment took place at the Agency. Investors today are showing great interest in preparing projects in the hotel business, since Kazan has become a center for hosting not only sports, but also political events of international level.
Talia Minullina: “We need A’s!” There are many economy-class hotels in Kazan and Tatarstan in general, and international events, such as the meeting of the BRICS countries in October of this year, require five-star hotels to accommodate guests. Investing in this area, especially in a recognized online brand, is especially relevant now.”
On January 30, a potential investor presented a project for string-rail roads that could solve a number of transport problems of agglomerations in Tatarstan. This is the so-called “second-level transport”. The solution is reminiscent of a monorail or cable car, but at the same time, according to the developers, it is fundamentally characterized by a low level of energy consumption at a fairly high speed of up to 80 km/h. As they say, the cost of implementing such projects is on average half that of cable cars, and the service life is 50 years. If necessary, you can increase the number of trains running on the line. Like a monorail, the cars make a full stop at special platforms, which is convenient for people with limited mobility.
Deputy Head of the TIDA Marina Epifantseva presented the company representatives with a range of possibilities for using this technology in Tatarstan. It is planned that the investor will formulate specific proposals for the possible location of his project.
On January 31, the head of the TIDA Talia Minullina, as part of a government delegation led by Rais Respubliki, visited the new residential complex “South Park” in the city of Elabuga. The residential complex, which was built by the Alabuga SEZ, includes 11 five-story buildings and is designed for 4.2 thousand people. Employees of the special economic zone and college students of the Alabuga Polytech educational center live in comfortable apartments, equipped with furniture and household appliances.
Talia Minullina: “Creating comfortable living conditions for employees is part of the personnel policy, which is so important in the current realities. For these purposes, the corresponding social and housing infrastructure is being created. The Alabuga SEZ is again ahead of the curve in this matter. Already, specialists who are so lacking in the labor market, they choose an employer who provides not only work, but also housing, and provides conditions for family members.”
