Sergey Morozov,
GOVERNOR OF THE ULYANOVSK REGION
GOVERNOR OF THE ULYANOVSK REGION
Advantageous geographic position of the Ulyanovsk Region, its plentiful natural resources, as well as support of investors by the Region’s government
create a favorable climate for investment activities in the Region.
Being a major industrial, scientific, educational, and cultural center, the Region
boasts a considerable industrial, scientific and R&D potential.
A well-developed transport infrastructure gives the Region a competitive
edge. The Region is crossed by a number of major railroads and highways. There is a well-developed river transport network. The city of Ulyanovsk has two airports, one of which has the status of international airport.
Development of engineering infrastructure is one of the top-priority goals
of the government. A decision has been passed to revamp the Region’s main gas artery and to construct a new trunk gas pipeline.
In 2009, construction of a new bridge across the Volga river—one of the
largest bridges in Europe—will be completed in the city of Ulyanovsk, creating
a transport corridor that will play an extremely important role by connecting
central Russia with the Urals and Western Siberia, which will help Ulyanovsk to become an interregional logistic center.
Official support for investment projects consists of a system of efficient assistance to such projects at all stages of their implementation. The Region has passed acts which grant investors considerable privileges regarding the most important taxes—property tax, land tax and profit tax. Besides, a pledge fund has been formed from Region-owned real estate for the purpose of providing investors with something they can use a security for bank loans.
Another important measure of investor support is preparation of free land
plots for construction of industrial enterprises; the plots will be connected to all
required engineering communications. The Region’s Legislative Assembly has approved a program for creation of industrial zones complete with engineering and transportation infrastructure. As a part of implementing the program, the Zavolzhye Industrial Zone, complete with all required utilities, have been created in the city of Ulyanovsk. International corporations SABMiller and Mars have already decided to build new plants in that zone.
In Dimitrovgrad, which is the second larges city in the Region, a new industrial
park is being created to meet the needs of foreign manufacturers of automotive spare parts. A cluster of glass and glass jar plants and a cluster of construction material plants are created in the Sengiley and Terenga Districts. In October 2007, a glass-making plant built with assistance of Sklostroj company (Czech Republic) was open, and construction of production facilities of German companies Henkel and Quarzwerke began.
During a short period of time, our investment policy has yielded some good
results. Thus, in 2006, the Region had second fastest investment growth rate among the regions of the Volga Federal District, and held the fifteenth among the regions of entire Russia. Other economic indicators are also steadily growing.
Such major foreign companies as ISUZU, Orkla ASA, FREESENIUS, LeGrand,
Mars, and SABMiller participate in a number of investment projects that are being successfully implemented in the Region. Among Russian investors are major Russian companies Gazprom, Severstal-avto, Rusneft, RusPromAvto, and many others.
Today, the investment portfolio of the Ulyanovsk Region includes 73 large
projects worth over $3.91 billion. The following sectors of the Region’s economy are most promising for investors: manufacture of automotive parts, food products and beverages, wood processing, construction material industry, glass-making, residential construction, and commercial construction.
At the moment, the Ulyanovsk Region is not quite as well known to most
Russian and foreign investors as Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kazan, or Samara. But some major Russian and foreign companies have believed in us and came to us.
We are open for further cooperation: 37,000 square kilometers of investment opportunitiesare awaiting new investors.
