Resident of the capital's special economic zone upgrades the line of industrial microcircuits for use in the Arctic

Mikron, a resident of SEZ Technopolis Moscow, is modernizing the production of industrial microcircuits for efficient operation in the most extreme conditions as informed by Alexander Prokhorov, Head of the Department for Investment and Industrial policy of Moscow. “Mikron Group of Companies is a leading resident of the microelectronics cluster in the capital's special economic zone and one of the largest manufacturers in Russia. It accounted for almost 30% of the output in this cluster in the first six months of 2021. The company plans to upgrade the line of power control chips used in industrial automation equipment, medical equipment, as well as equipment for use in extreme conditions: from arctic latitudes and deep-sea operations to space”, revealed Alexander Prokhorov. According to Gennady Degtev, CEO of SEZ Technopolis Moscow the project will take three years. “The upgrade will improve the technical and economic characteristics of these microcircuits, expand the range of their application.
