Russia has announced record growth in its special economic zones (SEZs), highlighting their role as powerful drivers of international investment and industrial cooperation. The information was presented by Nikita Kondratiev, Director of the Department for Multilateral Economic Cooperation and Special Projects at the Russian Ministry of Economic Development, during the III International Forum of Special Economic Zones–2025.
A major highlight of the event was the launch of the BRICS SEZ Digital Map—a unified investment navigator developed by the Association of Clusters, Technology Parks, and SEZ of Russia. The platform provides comprehensive information on SEZs across the BRICS nations, including available benefits and preferential regimes, according to the official website of the Russian Ministry of Economic Development.
Kondratiev noted that the platform will soon be expanded to include detailed data on products manufactured within these zones, which will open new distribution channels, simplify the search for components and equipment, and facilitate deeper cooperation among the BRICS economies.
"The platform contains information on the specialisation, preferences, residents, and contact details of the special economic zones of the #BRICS countries," stated Nikita Kondratiev.
The creation of a BRICS-wide digital investment infrastructure was described as a turning point in strengthening economic ties and expanding opportunities for global cooperation.
