During his working visit to Khabarovsk Krai, Russian Minister of Economic Development Maxim Reshetnikov inspected a number of facilities, discussed current business issues and held a meeting on regional development. One of the key issues is the development of the region's tourism potential. According to the minister, it is necessary to work out and form tourism products together with the regional government that would be interesting not only for Russian travelers, but would also help attract foreign tourists.
The visit began with an introduction to the results of the national project "Labor Productivity" at the Khabarovsk airport. Technologies that improve the level of passenger service have been developed and implemented in the domestic airline terminal, and the technology for terminal baggage handling has been improved. Maxim Reshetnikov also inspected the new international airline terminal. The project was implemented with the involvement of VEB.RF funds, and the terminal's capacity will be up to one million passengers per year. The new air harbor opens up great opportunities for both the development of inbound tourism in the region and is an incentive for activating the tourism industry as a whole, the minister noted.
The program of the visit continued on the territory of the industrial park "Avangard". Investment costs within the framework of the national project SME for its creation amounted to 244 million rubles. On the area of 47 hectares there are 16 resident companies operating in the fields of crop production and livestock farming, production of chemicals and products, rubber and plastic products, construction and development of computer software. In total, more than 600 new jobs have been created. The annual volume of manufactured products exceeds 1.3 billion rubles. "At the end of July, the acceptance of applications for a new selection of business parks, industrial and technology parks was completed within the framework of the President's instruction to build an additional 100 parks by 2030. An application was received from Khabarovsk Krai for the creation of the Amur technology park. The amount of the requested subsidy from the federal budget is 500 million rubles. At the moment, the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia, together with an expert group, is reviewing and evaluating projects in accordance with the selection rules. The results will be known at the end of August – beginning of September,” Maxim Reshetnikov noted. According to him, the region’s application for the Amur technopark has a sufficient chance of passing the competitive selection this year.
In Avangard, the Minister and the Governor of the Territory Dmitry Demeshin got acquainted with the production processes and finished products of one of the key residents of the park – OOO Energo-Impulse. The company is one of the largest manufacturers of electrical equipment in the Far East. The plant's capacity allows it to produce about 350 units of products per month, which are supplied to all subjects of the Far Eastern Federal District, as well as to the western part of Russia.
The development of the platform economy was discussed at the OZON fulfillment center, located in the Khabarovsk priority development area. The center has an area of 46 thousand square meters, the capacity to process up to 370 thousand orders per day, and a staff of more than one thousand people. The company plans to open a sorting center with an area of 18 thousand square meters this September, which will create an additional 500 new jobs, said Vladimir Goncharevich, Director for Interaction with Government Authorities.
"The Khabarovsk complex provides fast logistics for entrepreneurs from all over the Far East and gives residents access to all the necessary goods within walking distance. We discussed the law on the platform economy with the minister. We highly appreciated the work done to protect the interests of buyers and entrepreneurs. We are already taking into account many provisions of the document in our work and will be able to adapt all business processes to the new standards during the transition period," Vladimir Goncharevich commented.
The discussion of current business issues continued at a meeting with entrepreneurs of the region. In particular, the discussion focused on the development of technological entrepreneurship, work on marketplaces, attracting additional financing on stock exchange and investment platforms, developing the tourism industry and increasing the investment attractiveness of the region as a whole. The meeting took place at the site of the multifunctional complex "Brosko", which was built as part of the national project "Tourism and Hospitality Industry". With the assistance of the regional government, the investor received state support, the total volume of private investment amounted to 9.3 billion rubles, more than three thousand jobs were created.
“We see the interest and activity of the business community, and we will work together with the Government of Khabarovsk Krai to work on these issues and, if necessary, fine-tune the existing federal and regional support measures,” the minister emphasized.
"The dynamics are positive in all five basic sectors of the Khabarovsk Territory economy. In 2024, the gross regional product exceeded 1.4 trillion rubles. And in terms of investments and contract work, based on the results of 2024, we rank first in the Far Eastern Federal District in terms of growth rates.
