"We are now on the frontline of an economic war"

Vasily Osmakov, First Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation, visited Mordovia today. I visited Biochemistry and RM Rail, inspected the exposition of industrial enterprises of the Republic and took part in the final board of the Ministry of Industry of the Republic of Moldova, which was held in the technopark.

At Biochemistry, Osmakov got acquainted with the production process and highly appreciated the level of readiness of the enterprise. At the workshop, he spoke about existing and developing government support measures that the company can use.

The head of RM, Artyom Zdunov, noted that over the past few years Biochemik has made significant progress in developing its scientific and production potential. At the same time, there are a number of promising innovative projects, for which it is important to include a scientific component and receive federal support.

"Developing production, deepening chemical synthesis processes at the enterprise, developing and launching original drugs on the market, and expanding cooperation with scientific centers is the company's strategic priority," said Peter Bely, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Promomed Group.

The meeting participants inspected new and under construction sites, including a factory for the production of active pharmaceutical substances, which is scheduled to open in spring 2023, as well as an ultra-modern production of solid tablet forms with the possibility of vacuum transfer, commissioned in December 2022.

"I'll be brief," Vasily Osmakov said at the technopark. — We worked hard today. We discussed many important issues. Mordovian industrialists are actively involved in solving problems. We face huge challenges. We are now on the frontline of an economic war."

"We can say that the republic's industrial enterprises have demonstrated resistance to external factors," said Igor Gubaidullin, Minister of Industry of the Republic of Moldova. — They showed growth. The volume of the state defense order has increased. The largest enterprises demonstrated an increase in production. A number of enterprises experienced difficulties, but quickly refocused. A number of manufacturers took advantage of the situation and entered the CIS market for the first time. The volume of tax deductions has increased. The average salary at industrial enterprises is 48.3 thousand rubles."

"We visit schools in Mordovia," Dmitry Glushko, rector of Ogarev Moscow State University, took the floor. — We are fighting for every possible applicant. We continue to work on targeted training agreements. We are looking for new resources to form a training base."

"We are using all the opportunities that the Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade gives us,— Artyom Zdunov summed up. — Judging by the reports, the work has been intensified. The volume of the state defense order has increased. We need to work actively and in a substantive manner. We need a special economic zone. There are difficulties with personnel. We need to connect the university. There will be nothing without the university. We need to include it in this orbit. In general, I rate the work positively."

"We had six points in the program today," Vasily Sergeyevich shared during the press conference. — It was productive and very interesting. The most important thing is the personnel."

"We have great opportunities now," said Artyom Alekseevich. — A number of our enterprises have engaged in the modernization of production facilities. Now it is important to continue raising funds. Industry earns money for the republic."
