The Russian SEZ Business Navigator has become a working tool for trade missions abroad

The Association of Clusters, Technoparks and SEZS of Russia has completed the distribution of the English-language version of the "Business Navigator of Special Economic Zones of Russia — 2025" to 58 trade missions of the Russian Federation abroad. The publication is positioned as an application tool for foreign investors interested in localizing production facilities and launching joint projects in the Russian Federation.

The Russian SEZ Business Navigator accumulates up-to-date data on the possibilities of Russian special economic zones, including current government support measures, tax and customs preferences, as well as infrastructure parameters of the sites. The document is aimed at practical use in the initial assessment of market entry conditions and the selection of a site for production facilities.

Some trade missions have already integrated the Business Navigator of the SEZ of Russia into their information resources. Currently, it is located, in particular, on the sites of trade missions in Belarus, Turkey, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Thailand, Japan, Poland, South Africa, Cuba and the Philippines. It is expected that this will expand the reach of the foreign audience and increase the awareness of companies about the opportunities of the Russian SEZ.

Mikhail Labudin, Director of the AKIT of the Russian Federation, noted that the navigator's promotion abroad is part of a systematic effort to create an understandable and transparent environment for foreign investors.:

"Today, the competition for investments is global, and in this struggle, jurisdictions that are able to speak the same language with investors are winning - the language of specificity and predictability. The Russian SEZ Business Navigator is not a presentation product, but a working tool that allows you to quickly compare site parameters, evaluate available support measures, and make an informed localization decision. We see that it is already being used by sales representatives as part of investor support, and we will consistently expand its international presence."
