The "Technopolis Moscow" SEZ and the "Brest" FEZ (Belarus) have signed a cooperation agreement

The "Technopolis Moscow" Special Economic Zone (SEZ) is set to establish a strategic partnership with the "Brest" Free Economic Zone (FEZ)—a leading preferential economic area in the Republic of Belarus. The agreement was signed during the 4th International SEZ Forum, held as part of the 2nd Moscow Investment and Industrial Forum. This was announced by Gennady Degtev, Director General of SEZ "Technopolis Moscow."

"Moscow and the Republic of Belarus maintain close trade and economic ties. Following the signing of this agreement, the capital’s special economic zone and our Belarusian counterparts will join forces to create end-to-end technological chains and develop joint production facilities in strategically vital sectors, such as microelectronics and instrumentation. The parties will actively exchange expertise on managing preferential regimes and organize joint exhibitions, business missions, and seminars. This will open up new markets for our residents, simplify the process of finding reliable suppliers, and accelerate the development of innovations," noted Gennady Degtev.

Furthermore, the document provides for the regular exchange of information regarding legislation in the sphere of foreign economic activity and emerging market trends. Both sides intend to foster the growth of small and medium-sized enterprises and assist companies in identifying potential business partners. To implement these agreements, the leadership of both zones will hold regular consultations to approve plans for joint initiatives.

Enterprises within SEZ "Technopolis Moscow" are already actively collaborating with the Republic of Belarus. For instance, in partnership with the Belarusian company "Planar," the first Russian photolithography system with a 350-nanometer topology—designed for the production of microelectronic components—was developed. Additionally, residents of the zone supply the country with composite materials, medical products, pharmaceuticals, high-tech equipment, and electronic components. 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 is currently hosting the Moscow Investment and Industrial Forum. Additionally, the city is hosting the International Forum of Special Economic Zones for the first time, welcoming partners from BRICS, the EAEU, and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization.

The Moscow Investment and Industrial Forum serves as a platform for dialogue between representatives of municipal and federal authorities, investors, and industrial leaders. This is the second time the forum has been held in the capital, following its inaugural edition in 2025. Discussions at the forum cover investment policy, support measures for enterprises, technological development, and workforce training. It is organized by the Moscow Government and the city’s Department of Investment and Industrial Policy.

Moscow-based exporters receive active support from the state. The "International Cooperation and Export" national project offers a comprehensive suite of informational, financial, insurance, and logistical support measures. Furthermore, the "My Export" digital platform provides free access to expert consultations, market analytics, assistance with promoting goods on international marketplaces, online training courses, and a variety of other resources.
