More than 25 residents of the Technopolis Moscow SEZ have implemented resource-saving solutions in their production processes

The Technopolis Moscow Special Economic Zone (SEZ) has become the city’s primary hub for environmentally responsible business. A "green" ecosystem has taken shape here, with over 25 resident companies implementing advanced resource-saving solutions. This was announced by Maxim Liksutov, Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport and Industry.

"On the instructions of Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin, the city has made environmental safety a top priority for the development of Moscow’s industrial sector. An ecosystem of modern, eco-conscious manufacturing facilities is being established across the capital’s industrial sites. The effectiveness of these oversight measures is reflected in the data: in 2025, total carbon dioxide emissions across the SEZ amounted to 21,400 tons—less than half the threshold that triggers mandatory state reporting. Furthermore, the SEZ provides an environment where it is advantageous for investors to build next-generation facilities—ones with a minimal carbon footprint and modern ESG infrastructure," noted Maxim Liksutov.

In 2025, Technopolis Moscow adopted a national standard for environmental management, confirming that the site’s operations are guided by leading Russian and international best practices.

Resident companies are actively integrating eco-friendly practices into their production processes. For instance, NIIME manufactures integrated circuits with reduced energy consumption. NCK, a producer of composite materials, disposes of industrial waste in strict compliance with environmental regulations and utilizes energy-efficient lighting. The BFS plant has implemented waste sorting and installed energy-saving air conditioning systems.

The digital printing company Photoexpert has switched to LED lighting, adopted waste segregation, and utilizes biodegradable cleaning agents. Large-scale environmental projects are being implemented within the pharmaceutical sector: the R-Opra plant is carrying out landscaping and managing water consumption; Velfarm-M monitors the quality of wastewater at the boundary of its sanitary protection zone; and GemaTech has installed sand traps at its production facilities.

The management company of the Special Economic Zone (SEZ) also supports environmental initiatives. A "Green Office" system—featuring electronic document management—is in place, alongside standards for employing individuals with disabilities and a corporate volunteering program. Activities for employees include an eco-festival with workshops on waste sorting, a recycling collection marathon, clothing swap events, and visits to the Dubovaya Roshcha animal shelter.

In 2026, the Technopolis Moscow Special Economic Zone will mark its 20th anniversary. Over the past two decades, the project has evolved from a launchpad for innovative ventures into a key hub for domestic industry and a magnet for companies that are shaping Russia’s technological sovereignty. Today, across 10 sites covering a total area of ​​430 hectares, Technopolis Moscow hosts more than 250 high-tech enterprises operating in strategic sectors such as microelectronics, instrumentation, biomedicine, IT, and robotics. The development of the Special Economic Zone is overseen by the Moscow Department of Investment and Industrial Policy.

Sergey Sobyanin has designated October 2026 as "Moscow Industry Month." The program includes over 25 events tailored for businesses, students, young professionals, city residents, and tourists. The capital hosted the Moscow Investment and Industrial Forum, a Career Day, a ceremony honoring multi-generational professional families, and over 20 guided tours of modern, high-tech manufacturing facilities, alongside a series of open educational lectures. For the first time, the city also hosted the International Forum of Special Economic Zones, which welcomed partners from BRICS, the EAEU, and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization.

Moscow is developing its industrial sector with a focus on environmental sustainability. Enterprises across the capital are actively adopting green technologies to reduce their environmental footprint. Such initiatives contribute to the national project "Environmental Well-being" and help enhance the quality of the urban environment.
