The Republic of Bashkortostan was visited by participants of the training program “Leaders of Ugra Changes”, organized by the Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration (RANEPA). The main purpose of their visit was to study the investment potential of the republic, management practices and the development of industrial infrastructure. The topic of attracting investments, including in preferential zones, was discussed by the participants with the management of the Bashkortostan Development Corporation, which is the management company of the special economic zone “Alga”. In addition, they managed to visually familiarize themselves with the achievements of the republic in this direction during an excursion to one of the sites of the SEZ “Alga” – the Ufa Industrial Park.
– The Special Economic Zone “Alga” is a vivid indicator of how competent management decisions affect the investment potential of the region. Let me remind you that the SEZ “Alga”, created in 2020 on the initiative of the Head of Bashkortostan, was twice recognized as the most dynamically developing, and in 2023 became the winner in the nomination “Import Substitution” of the National rating of investment attractiveness of special economic zones. All this is the result of using various tools to attract investors, which we are happy to share with our colleagues from other regions,” said Nail Gabbasov, Director General of the Development Corporation of the Republic of Bashkortostan.
As part of the tour of the industrial park, the delegates visited the resident enterprises: the Amkodor-Agidel agricultural equipment plant, the Ultradesign woodworking plant, the ZIT Rossilber paint and lubricants enterprise, as well as the RB Motors company, a manufacturer of ATVs and all–terrain vehicles.
In addition, representatives of the management company told the guests about the current preferences and immediate plans to expand the territory of the special economic zone by another 106 hectares. Recall that it is planned to increase the area of the SEZ at the expense of land plots located in the Ufa district. The Development Corporation is preparing the application and the corresponding package of documents.
