A meeting was held by Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Yuri Borisov, dedicated to the implementation of regional industrial policy. The agenda included the proposals of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia on the implementation of measures of state support for industrial clusters and technoparks.
The measures include, inter alia, the resumption of subsidies for the implementation of joint projects of industrial clusters, the creation of measures to compensate for the costs of creating the infrastructure of industrial technology parks of private management companies, and the resumption of reimbursement of costs for paying interest on loans from management companies of industrial technology parks.

In accordance with the minutes of the meeting, amendments to federal legislation are to be made in October this year.

Thanks to the openness of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia and the support of these initiatives by the head of the Ministry, Denis Manturov, regions receive more opportunities for economic development, which is now especially important. The approval of the new mechanisms of regional industrial policy by the supervising deputy prime minister will lay the foundation for the formation of stable conditions for supporting the regional industry for the long term," said the director of the Association Andrei Shpilenko.
