The imposition of sanctions acted as a potent driver for the rapid growth of the capital city's special economic zone. Limited access to foreign goods, rising costs and increased risks from external dependence forced the economy to tap more into domestic resources. This stimulated the active growth of domestic production and the launch of new businesses within the SEZ, which are instrumental in enhancing the country's technological sovereignty.
A crucial element of success was the fostering of technological collaboration among companies. Placing manufacturing operations in one location not only lowers logistics costs but also streamlines the supply chain, enhances the degree of product localization, and facilitates the implementation of co‑innovations. This makes Technopolis Moscow SEZ a compelling platform for swift and effective establishment of industrial clusters.
The partnership between the public and private sectors has emerged as a crucial strategy for fostering import substitution. Offset agreements have demonstrated their exceptional efficacy: they enable businesses to upgrade their manufacturing processes and secure a steady demand for their products. For customers, this partnership ensures a stable supply of domestic goods that meet quality and timing requirements.
Today, Technopolis Moscow SEZ produces dozens of products that were previously purchased abroad. These are microelectronic products, telecommunications equipment, medical equipment, cosmetics, medical products, pharmaceuticals, high‑tech commercial and industrial equipment, software, and radio electronics.
