For that purpose, the Center for Development, Prototyping and Additive Technologies will be created in Rudnevo; there will also be a full-cycle design bureau and production area, an automated warehouse, a training and piloting center. The creation of the center will give more than 100 new jobs in the city," - said Vladislav Ovchinsky.
