The Ministry of Economic Development of Russia has presented an investment map of Russia https://invest.gov.ru . It has already been put into operation and is available to Russian and foreign entrepreneurs and investors. This was announced by Maxim Reshetnikov, Minister of Economic Development, during the plenary session of the Entrepreneurship Day of the Russia Exhibition Forum at VDNH.
The platform is based on data from investment maps of the subjects of the Russian Federation, which were developed during the implementation of the regional investment standard under the leadership of First Deputy Prime Minister Andrei Belousov.
"The investment map of Russia will help strengthen work with investments in the regions. We developed it with the Moscow Government and launched it at the beginning of the month. For businesses, this is an opportunity to choose a plot of land for any project: from opening a cafe to building a large industrial plant. The map contains data on almost 14,000 investment sites: their size, equipment, and available support measures," he said.Maxim Reshetnikov.
The map was developed at the request of the business, and has already been evaluated by representatives of Delovaya Rossiya, the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs, and the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Russian Federation. The regional executive authorities and investment development agencies provide regular filling and updating of the investment card. Ready-made industrial sites, land plots for construction and agriculture, and premises for small businesses have already been mapped.
It is possible to assess the business environment of the future project: sales markets, preferential treatment, availability of minerals and infrastructure — from pavement to cellular communications. If there are no necessary connections, the connection conditions are indicated on the site cards.
The map allows you to search for sites in different regions and compare their capabilities. It contains information about key macroeconomic indicators of the Russian regions that may have an impact on the implementation of the project. All this makes it possible to estimate project costs and select government support measures.

There are also new support measures, 30 of them in total, including assistance in lending, preferential treatment, tax and tariff benefits.
