The innovative medicine, which is produced by Technopolis Moscow, a resident of the special economic zone (SEZ), is supplied to all regions of the country. This was announced by Maxim Liksutov, Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport and Industry.
"On behalf of Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin, Russia's largest pharmaceutical cluster is being formed on the basis of the SEZ. 10 enterprises are already producing innovative broad-spectrum medicines here.

The status obtained confirms that the products of the capital manufacturer comply with strict quality standards and guarantees that they will receive state support measures when promoting medicines to foreign markets," Maxim Liksutov said.
The Sputnik Technopolis plant, which is part of the R-Pharm group of companies, is engaged in the production of the drug. The drug belongs to the class of monoclonal antibodies, its action inhibits the growth of tumor cells and prevents the development of metastases. The full cycle of drug production, including the production of an active pharmaceutical substance, is implemented at the plant of a resident of the Moscow SEZ. Previously, the company had already mastered the production of other vital drugs. Among them are drugs for the treatment of a wide range of oncological and autoimmune diseases, including breast cancer, lymphoma, and rheumatoid arthritis.
The "Made in Russia" program is coordinated by the Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade, and the main functions of its implementation are assigned to the Russian Export Center. The program promotes domestic brands to foreign markets and guarantees the reliability of Russian manufacturers as suppliers of high-quality products. The corresponding certificate gives the right to apply a mark in the form of a bird in the colors of the Russian flag to the products. The products of the program participants are actively promoted abroad, primarily in the most promising and priority markets, including China and the Middle East.
