A resident of the SEZ “Technopolis Moscow” has increased the production of a drug for the treatment of multiple sclerosis by 36%

A resident of the special economic zone (SEZ) “Technopolis Moscow” has increased the production of a domestic drug for the treatment of multiple sclerosis by 36%. The company carries out the full cycle of drug production — from the formula to the finished dosage form. This was announced by Maxim Liksutov, Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport and Industry.

“On the instructions of Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin, a pharmaceutical cluster is being formed in the SEZ; it will become the largest in Russia.” Currently, it includes 14 high‑tech enterprises, 10 of which have already launched their production facilities. The companies produce a wide range of medications: from oncological and cardiological drugs to glaucoma medications and antipsychotics. In 2026, one of the residents increased the production of a domestic medicine for the treatment of multiple sclerosis by 36%,” said Maxim Liksutov.

The drug was developed by scientists from the Biocad company. It is a monoclonal antibody that targets B‑lymphocytes involved in the development of the immuno‑inflammatory process in multiple sclerosis.

Production Director Alexander Kharichkov noted that the established scientific and production base allows the SEZ resident not only to consistently produce modern drugs but also to plan further capacity expansion in line with the needs of the healthcare system. The company’s innovative medicinal products are supplied to all regions of Russia.

The products of the residents of the capital’s special economic zone are regularly supplied to regions across Russia — from the Kaliningrad region to the Far East. Inspection equipment produced in the capital is used at airports, on railways, and at energy facilities across the country. Portable medical devices for emergency care are supplied to ambulance services and hospitals in more than 50 regions. Composite materials and structures are used in the construction and reconstruction of bridges, overpasses, and hydraulic structures in dozens of regions. And the digital educational equipment developed by an SEZ resident helps schoolchildren and preschoolers learn about natural sciences in 73 regions.

The Special Economic Zone “Technopolis Moscow” is celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2026. Over the past two decades, the project has transformed from a launchpad for innovative projects into a key hub for domestic industry and a magnet for companies that define Russia’s technological sovereignty. Today, the production of more than 240 high-tech enterprises representing such strategic areas as microelectronics, instrumentation, biomedicine, IT and robotics is localized at 10 sites of the Technopolis Moscow SEZ with a total area of 430 hectares.

Moscow is actively developing industrial infrastructure for high-tech enterprises. Thanks to urban solutions, companies are increasing production and launching innovative productions. This contributes to the implementation of the national project "Efficient and Competitive Economy".
