More than 10 companies of special economic zone (SEZ) Technopolis Moscow have applied for participation in the All-Russian contest of promising Russian brands. The prize will be awarded to the best domestic producers who successfully substitute imported products. The final will be held on June 28-29 in the framework of the forum Strong Ideas for New Times, said Gennady Degtev, CEO of the SEZ Technopolis Moscow. The project promotes the increase of domestic goods share in the domestic market and the achievement of technological sovereignty in critical industries. Its participants can be socially responsible entrepreneurs who demonstrate a steady growth rate, a high degree of production localization and quality. The competition was organized by the Agency for Strategic Initiatives and Roscongress Foundation in accordance with the instruction of the President of Russia to support and popularize Russian brands. "Today on the territory of SEZ Technopolis Moscow successfully develops several industry areas: microelectronics, photonics, medical equipment and pharmaceuticals, electric vehicles, nanotechnology and new materials. Each area is represented by the largest players and leaders of the Russian market, who produce products with a localization level of up to 100 percent. For example, the developer of veterinary drugs Vetbiokhim successfully replaces imported analogues of vaccines for agricultural and domestic animals. The company's products, aimed primarily at preventing the most dangerous diseases in livestock, play an important role in ensuring the country's food security. Goods with the localization level of 95 percent are produced by the company Lassard, which opened its production in April at the site Pechatniki in SEZ Technopolis Moscow. The enterprise develops and manufactures equipment and laser systems that today are in demand almost in all industries. These and other companies from the Moscow SEZ have applied for the national contest of the national brands and they deserve to win," said Gennady Degtev. More than 3,5 thousand applications from all over Russia have already been submitted for the contest. They have been divided into five categories, including Food, Consumer Goods, Creative Industries, Information Technology and High Technology. The following Moscow SEZ companies will compete for the title of the best import-substituting industries: - Nex-T (interactive equipment, localization - 80 percent); - Velpharm (medications, localization - 60 percent); - Hirana (medical equipment, localization - 70 percent); - Vetbiohim (veterinary medicines, localization - 100 percent); - Medplant (medical products, localization - 75 percent); - Additive Engineering (3D products, technologies, localization - 100 percent); - System Electric (electric power equipment and industrial automation, localization - 80 percent); - Lassard (laser equipment, localization - 95 percent); - Elvis (microelectronics, localization - 55 percent); - Electroninvest (component base, localization - 100 percent); - SEZ Technopolis Moscow (localization - 100 percent).

"Residents of the capital's SEZ have actively embraced import substitution, as evidenced by their growth and the products they produce. In 2022, suppliers of high-tech products have not only replaced foreign developments with domestic counterparts, but also created unique inventions. Strengthening the brand will allow to strengthen the position and draw attention to domestic manufacturers", - said Gennady Degtev.
