MOSCOW, April 16 (Xinhua) -- Russia plans to build no less than 100 new industrial parks by 2030 to bolster its industrial infrastructure, Anton Alikhanov, minister of industry and trade, said on Thursday.
Speaking at the presentation of the "Industrial Parks and Special Economic Zones of Russia - 2026" annual review, Alikhanov emphasized that achieving this goal will require active cooperation from regional administrations and the Association of Industrial Parks.
Russia currently runs nearly 500 operational industrial parks in 73 federal subjects. These facilities utilize over 80 percent of their total area, which exceeds 25 million square meters. Nearly 6,000 companies operating within these zones produced goods worth approximately 5 trillion rubles (about 65.5 billion U.S. dollars) last year, he said.
Among the diverse range of products manufactured in these parks, Alikhanov highlighted high-tech materials, components and finished goods. ■
