The number of socially oriented non-profit organizations (SONPO) at the end of 2024 was 133,812, Rosstat reports. Compared to 2023, their number increased by more than 3 thousand SONPOs. Their largest number – almost 12 thousand organizations – are registered in Moscow.

The top 5 regions by the number of NPOs also included Krasnodar Krai (5,644), Moscow Oblast (5,218), St. Petersburg (4,997), and Tyumen Oblast (4,646).

"Socially oriented non-profit organizations play a key role in the development of society, solving acute social problems where the state and business cannot always promptly help. They support vulnerable groups of the population (pensioners, people with disabilities, orphans), deal with environmental issues, education, protection of rights and cultural projects," commented Deputy Minister of Economic Development of Russia Tatyana Ilyushnikova.

According to Rosstat, the total receipt of funds and other property by NPOs in 2024 exceeded 2 trillion rubles, and the number of employees was over 544 thousand people. The largest increase was shown by the average number of volunteers participating in the activities of NPOs: last year, over 4.8 million people joined on a voluntary basis. The increase compared to 2023 was about 900 thousand people.

In terms of the distribution of NPOs by types of activity, the largest number of organizations operate in the field of physical culture and sports (32,315), provision of social services (31,456), education and science (26,345), culture and art (16,014), charitable activities (15,640), and promotion of patriotic and spiritual-moral education of youth (14,323).

"SONPOs often act as innovators, developing and testing new approaches to providing services in the social sphere. Their flexibility and proximity to the needs of society allow them to create targeted and effective solutions," Tatyana Ilyushnikova emphasized.

In total, in 2024, NPOs provided social services to more than 95 million people. Over the past 12 years, this figure has increased fivefold.

Malaysian citizens have become the first foreigners to try out a new payment mechanism, the Tourist Card, which can be used to pay for accommodation, transportation, museum visits and other expenses via remote replenishment. This was reported by Russian Minister of Economic Development Maxim Reshetnikov, commenting on the results of the official meeting between President Vladimir Putin and King of Malaysia Sultan Ibrahim.

One of the first users of the card was Malaysian Senator Jasiri Alkaf. He successfully used this payment instrument during his visit to St. Petersburg as part of the SPIEF-2025.

"Tourists from Malaysia have increasingly begun to visit Russia. In the first quarter of 2025, compared to the same period last year, the tourist flow doubled," noted Maxim Reshetnikov.

The number of Russians visiting Malaysia is also growing. In 2024, this figure exceeded the pre-COVID level by 64% compared to 2019. Since July 2025, the validity of the electronic visa has been increased from 60 to 120 days, and the length of stay from 16 to 30 days. At present, about 5 thousand people have used this mechanism.

The minister also noted the growth in trade turnover between the countries. "In January-May 2025, the growth was 40%, while Russian exports to Malaysia more than doubled," said Maxim Reshetnikov. "Our manufacturers supply fertilizers, mineral products, oil, and coal. Business is working on the supply of Russian pharmaceuticals and medical equipment. We pay special attention to the certification of Russian meat and dairy products for supplies to Malaysia."

In addition, according to the Ministry of Economic Development, Russian enterprises are showing interest in localizing production in Malaysia. Plans include organizing joint business missions in special economic zones of Russia and ASEAN countries.

In August, regional stages of the program will be held in Astrakhan, Novosibirsk, Chelyabinsk regions, the Republic of Khakassia, Kamchatka Krai and other regions. Another 39 regions will conduct the program in September. In 2025, the program will be held in 70 regions.

"To date, we have already received more than 4 thousand applications for participation in the program, but we expect a large flow in the near future, since the program is to be held in 55 more regions. In 2025, special attention within the program is paid to the development of projects in priority sectors of the economy: manufacturing, IT, tourism, agriculture, and creative industries. The priority of applications aimed at key industries has been increased, special tracks have appeared for businesses in historically significant regions, the grant amount has been increased to 150 thousand rubles to increase financial support for projects. But we see that women are trying to include a social component in their business projects – from preserving cultural memory to supporting families with special needs and developing local communities," said Deputy Minister of Economic Development of Russia Tatyana Ilyushnikova.

Women with minor children or those on maternity leave can take part in the program. The main condition is a ready-made business project or idea at the launch stage, the implementation period is up to one year. Registration takes place on the website mamapredprinimatel.rf.

Each regional stage is a week of intensive training from certified trainers of the My Business Centers. Participants master key entrepreneurial skills — from business planning to marketing and attracting clients. The program includes mentoring sessions with current entrepreneurs, individual consultations, and project defense before an expert jury. The winners of the regional stages receive grant support for business development.

The "Mom-entrepreneur" program continues to help women implement their business ideas. Among the new projects is an online school in Khabarovsk Krai for parents of children with hearing impairments, created by Lyubov Stitskaya, a teacher of the deaf with 10 years of experience. She is the mother of a child with cochlear implants.

"I understand these parents not only as a specialist and teacher, but also as a mother. This is how my project was born, and now it will be implemented, because this grant will go towards recording video lessons," the winner said.

Another unusual project from the Altai region is a workshop for creating furniture and decor from cardboard and packaging materials. Kristina Pautova, a mother of two, already produces lamps, vases and interior items under the brand "PAUTOVA".

"You shouldn't completely go into self-realization. It won't work out that you're a mother in the morning and a master at night. It's important to try to involve children in your favorite activity, to interest them. Then you won't have to be torn between work and family!", explained Kristina Pautova. A new line of souvenir ceramics inspired by the city's architecture has appeared in Pskov. The author of the project is ceramic artist and mother of three children Elena Makarova. She creates mugs with handles in the form of elements of local landmarks. Each product comes with a QR code with historical information. The project has already received support at the regional stage of the "Tourist Souvenir" competition.

Olga Smirnova from the Komi Republic presented a major agricultural project — industrial cultivation of black currants. In the coming years, it is planned to plant 20 hectares, and in the future — to expand the plantations to 60 hectares.

"The project is already underway – I will plant the seedlings in the fall. And knowledge, contacts and a grant are a powerful resource for the start," shared Olga Smirnova. In addition, the program includes holding separate thematic tracks. Thus, in Krasnodar Krai, the track "Mom in the village" was held, in Tyumen Oblast, for the second year in a row, a course for mothers of many children is being held.

At the end of the year, 25-30 winners of the regional stages will meet at the final stage of the program, where they will be able to compete for grants of 1 million, 500 thousand and 250 thousand rubles.

The federal program "Mom-entrepreneur" is included in the list of instruments of the national project "Efficient and Competitive Economy". You can find out the dates of the regional stage and apply for participation in the program on the website mamapredprinimatel.rf.

The President of the Russian Federation approved a target for reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 2035, which will form the basis for Russia’s new nationally determined contribution under the Paris Agreement.

The Paris Agreement on Climate Change sets out the commitments of signatory countries to create and implement national plans to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, as well as strategies for transitioning to a low-carbon economy. The Agreement was adopted at the 21st session of the Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change in 2015. Currently, 198 countries, including Russia, are parties to this international treaty. Each of the countries participating in the Paris Agreement has committed to intensifying efforts to combat climate change in the context of sustainable development, including by keeping the increase in global average temperature within 1.5-2 °C above pre-industrial levels.

Under the Paris Agreement, countries are also required to develop a Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) – a national action plan to reduce emissions and adapt to climate change that contributes to achieving the global goals of the Paris Agreement.

In their NDCs, countries set targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and adapting to the effects of climate change. The first NDC of the Russian Federation was presented to the secretariat of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change in 2020. It provided for a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions to 70% relative to the 1990 level by 2030. The indicator was determined taking into account the need for sustainable socio-economic development and maximum consideration of the absorption capacity of forests and other natural ecosystems.

The target of 65-67% of the 1990 level for reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 2035 set today exceeds the previous one and will form the basis for the preparation of the new NDC of the Russian Federation, which will be presented before the 30th session of the Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, which will be held from 11 to 22 November 2025 in Belém, Brazil.

"When calculating the new target indicator for NDC, we used data from the Russian Climate Monitoring System. At the first stage of the project, a global climate model, a regional climate forecasting model, monitoring networks, and tools for assessing the socio-economic effects of climate change and decarbonization were created. During the project, highly accurate climate change forecasts were generated, and models of the economic and climate effects of future emission reduction measures were created," said Maxim Kolesnikov, Deputy Minister of Economic Development of Russia. "In addition, Russia has significant potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through the development of energy-efficient technologies, as well as through measures to increase the absorption capacity of Russian ecosystems."

The Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation signed a Resolution in which the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia is designated as the authorized federal executive body in the field of technological policy.

The document grants the ministry the authority to provide information support for technological policy, including the creation, operation and modernization of specialized information systems. These systems are designed to collect, store, analyze and transmit data on activities in the field of technological development, as well as to manage regulatory and reference information.

The key tasks of the Ministry in this area are, in particular, ensuring automated data exchange between participants in technological development, protecting and updating information used for decision-making in the area of technological policy, and providing access to data to interested parties, including organizations that promote technological development.

"The President of Russia has set the task of ensuring the technological leadership of the state. To achieve this, the Ministry is consistently building an ecosystem for implementing technological policy, creating a single digital circuit that will ensure transparency, efficiency and security of processes," commented First Deputy Minister of Economic Development of Russia Maxim Kolesnikov.

At the same time, the general task of the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia and the regions is to provide a sufficient level of support to market participants to resort to such fines as rarely as possible. This was stated by Deputy Minister of Economic Development Alexey Khersontsev at the conference "Self-assessment as a stage of classification of accommodation facilities: digital and expert solutions, state control and business support", which was held in Moscow.

The conference participants discussed the progress of the classification system reform and emphasized that from September 1, properties that have not passed this procedure will not be displayed in the aggregator booking systems. And from September 6, amendments to the Code of Administrative Offenses will come into force, which establish fines for the operation of accommodation facilities that have not passed the classification. For legal entities, the amount will be from 300 to 450 thousand rubles. Repeated violation of this requirement or failure to comply with the order of the control body will lead to the imposition of turnover fines.

"This reform is aimed at solving two problems: creating equal conditions for all market participants and increasing tourists' confidence in the quality of accommodation. Until January 1 of this year, classification was understood exclusively as hotels receiving "stars". Since the beginning of this year, the classification procedure itself has undergone significant changes and has been divided into two stages, and its perimeter includes not only hotels, but also recreation centers, campsites and sanatoriums. Now classification is a two-stage procedure. The first stage is mandatory for all accommodation facilities – this is a self-assessment, the result of which is the inclusion of the accommodation facility in the register of accommodation facilities created by Rosaccreditation. Without passing this stage, the accommodation facility cannot operate. The second stage is at the request of the hotel. They can contact an accredited organization and undergo an assessment for compliance with additional quality indicators – "stars", – noted Alexey Khersontsev in his speech.

He noted that the transition to the new rules is carried out in several stages. Thus, on January 1, Rosaccreditation automatically transferred all hotels that were classified before the reform began to the new register. The next point was March 1, 2025. Before this date, all other accommodation facilities – recreation centers and campsites – had to report their activities and undergo a simplified self-assessment, that is, fill in information about their name, address and location. From March 1, accommodation facilities that are not in the new register do not have the right to accept guests. Control powers to assess compliance with this requirement were also transferred to the regions from March 1. The final point of the reform is September 1, 2025. Before this date, all accommodation facilities – both hotels that were automatically transferred to the new register, and campsites and recreation centers – must fully complete the first stage of classification – self-assessment, update information about their activities and, using photographs taken in the Inspector mobile application, confirm their compliance with mandatory requirements.

The conference presented the results of the implementation of the digital subsystem "Hospitality", integrated into the Federal State Information System of Rosaccreditation, on the basis of which the classification of accommodation facilities is carried out. The platform allows processing up to 100 thousand applications per day, supports automatic verification, API access to data for aggregators and confirmation of information through the mobile application "Inspector". Connection to the system is provided to all types of accommodation facilities.

"The new system was created not for the sake of reporting, but for real work. We receive more than 2 thousand applications per week, and thanks to the FSIS architecture, we have no technical limitations. We did not just build a digital route, we accompany it with live interaction with businesses. Since August 1, the support service and chat for market participants have been operating around the clock – and this has become an important step to ensure that no question remains unanswered. In six months, the system has passed a stress test, and now we are ready for the maximum load," said Dmitry Volvach, head of Rosaccreditation.

He explained that based on feedback, routes for each type of object were optimized, step-by-step prompts were built in, and the ability to edit rejected applications without re-entering data was added. Separate technical solutions are provided for complex cases, including the absence of an address in the State Address Register and legal restrictions in certain regions.

In addition to digital tools, the service has built a system of operational support: today there are more than 8 thousand participants in industry chats, more than 18 thousand questions have been resolved. In parallel, work is underway with uncovered accommodation facilities – data is verified with Rosstat, notifications are sent through the Federal Tax Service and My Business centers.

The conference was also attended by the General Director of the Federal Autonomous Institution NIA Denis Sukhetsky, Deputy General Director of the Federal Autonomous Institution NIA Alexander Andrinatyev, Deputy Head of Roskachestvo Yulia Mikhaleva, President of the Federation of Restaurateurs and Hoteliers of Russia Igor Bukharov, General Director of Ostrovok.ru Daria Kochetkova, Managing Director of the Radisson Hotel Group in Russia Violetta Romero de Torres and other representatives of the tourism industry.

A new special economic zone of industrial and production type is being created in Tatarstan — "Green Valley". The agreement on the creation of the zone was concluded by the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia, the Government of Tatarstan, the executive committee of the Zainsky district and the management company "Alabuga-2. Petrochemistry".

The decision to create the SEZ was made earlier: the corresponding resolution was approved by the Russian Government. According to the document, the zone is located in the Zainsky District of Tatarstan, and the republic will invest at least 2.5 billion rubles in the development of its infrastructure until 2027. Five anchor investors joined Green Valley at the start. The total volume of planned investments is more than 15 billion rubles. All projects are being implemented in the field of biotechnology – from deep processing of industrial crops (for example, flax) to the production of biofertilizers, sorbents and biologically active additives.

"All anchor resident projects will be implemented in the field of biotechnology; in essence, we are creating a specialized cluster in Tatarstan. This will allow not only to more effectively build the economy of enterprises in the special economic zone, but also to develop technological cooperation in solving the problems of import substitution and the country's strategic sovereignty," said Deputy Minister of Economic Development of Russia Svyatoslav Sorokin.

One of the key areas is the production of modified flax fiber, which is in demand in the chemical industry and in the production of special paints and varnishes. Today, such products are produced in Russia in small quantities. In the Green Valley, their production will be organized in a full cycle – from processing raw materials to finished products. Several residents will work on this at once, building a technological chain within the site.

The zone's projects are aimed at developing the region's agro-industrial complex. Modern approaches to processing agricultural raw materials will allow Tatarstan to increase the profitability of crop and livestock production and enhance the efficiency of the industry as a whole.

As part of the forum "Islands of Sustainable Development: Climate Aspect", a meeting of the State Council of the Russian Federation Commission on "Investments" was held on August 2, 2025.

The meeting was attended by representatives of federal and regional executive authorities, businesses and the expert community. They discussed the results of the Sakhalin experiment to achieve carbon neutrality, as well as key issues of low-carbon development. "The climate agenda is increasingly influencing the investment agenda: development of the business environment, attracting financing, promoting the finished product. The main thing now is to understand how to additionally support the work on the climate by regions and enterprises. To agree on which direction to move in and how to fine-tune the adopted regulation for this. Another priority task is the development of the carbon market through international projects and programs, bilateral cooperation with friendly countries," said Minister of Economic Development Maxim Reshetnikov.

"One of the values of the Sakhalin experiment is the participants themselves, their competencies and experience, which can already at this stage be formalized into a set of proposals for improving approaches and methods at specific enterprises, in industries, and in the region as a whole. It is no less important to study the current state of affairs in other regions of the Russian Federation. Now our common task is to move from experimental to systemic practice," said Sakhalin Region Governor Valery Limarenko.

Maxim Reshetnikov noted the importance of maintaining the high quality of Russian carbon units. To do this, it is necessary to improve the verification system so that it operates effectively for all industries and projects in the country.

Dmitry Volvach, Head of the Federal Accreditation Service: "As of today, greenhouse gas validation and verification bodies have verified 68 climate projects for compliance with the stated requirements. More than 91 million carbon units are planned to be released within the framework of registered projects. Another important area of Rosaccreditation's work is the recognition of Russian validation and verification bodies in the international arena. Currently, joint work is underway with the Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation and the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation to expand the accreditation criteria for validation and verification bodies in accordance with the requirements of ICAO CORSIA."

In order for regions to be more actively involved in the climate agenda, the minister proposed creating a special service for regions and issuing methodological recommendations for compiling regional inventories of greenhouse gas emissions. It is important for regions to clearly understand, in terms of enterprises and industries, who emits greenhouse gases and who absorbs them.

"Yakutia is actively involved in the climate agenda. The Head of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) adopted a decree "On the environmental well-being of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia)", within the framework of which the Yakut Arctic Scientific Center, together with the Bauman Moscow State Technical University and the Lomonosov Moscow State University, is working to determine the carbon balance of the republic and develop a Concept for achieving carbon neutrality. Yakutia is ready to form a regulatory framework and is considering the possibility of participating in a climate experiment," said Borisov Dzhulustan, First Deputy Chairman of the Government of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia).

"The carbon market in Russia is developing with the active participation of business, which is clearly demonstrated by the experience of the Sakhalin climate experiment, and the first exchange transactions, and the climate initiatives of the RUSAL company. The key task today is to ensure a balance between the demand and supply of carbon assets, stimulate voluntary commitments of companies, participation in international climate initiatives and support for natural and climate projects. It is equally important to clearly distinguish between carbon units (CU) and quota fulfillment units (CFU) in order to maintain the motivation of business to invest in low-carbon solutions and projects with a long-term effect," summed up Irina Bakhtina, Director of Sustainable Development at RUSAL and EN.

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. There are 134 investment projects in the active implementation stage with a total investment volume of more than 2.6 trillion rubles. By 2030, investors plan to create more than 32 thousand new high-performance jobs," emphasized Dmitry Demeshin, Governor of the Territory.

In the first half of 2025, small and medium-sized businesses in the Far East attracted financing totaling more than 30 billion rubles using the instruments of the participants of the National Guarantee System, operated by the SME Corporation. This is 5% more than in the same period last year. "The Far East has enormous potential for development. And this is not only about the unique natural conditions that allow for the active development of tourism and related industries. Its location makes the region a major logistics hub, as well as an effective platform for cooperation with international partners in industry and trade. Small and medium-sized businesses are one of the drivers here and are already present in all these areas of the Far Eastern Federal District economy. According to the results of the first half of 2025, state support allowed local SMEs to attract more than 30 billion rubles. “About a third of the total volume came from enterprises in the manufacturing industry, logistics, agriculture, tourism, as well as companies engaged in scientific and technical activities,” noted Russian Minister of Economic Development Maxim Reshetnikov at a meeting with entrepreneurs from Khabarovsk Krai during a trip to the Far East.

As part of the working visit, the minister visited Sakhalin Oblast and Khabarovsk Krai. The volume of financial support under the National Guarantee System for the first six months of 2025 in these regions amounted to 1.26 billion rubles and 3.82 billion rubles, respectively.

"Small and medium businesses in the Far East continue to actively increase the volume of attracted financing with state support for the implementation of investment projects. Compared to the same period last year, this figure has grown by 9%. That is, local entrepreneurs were able to attract more than 9.7 billion rubles for their investment initiatives, which is almost 30% of the total volume concluded under contracts with the support of NGS participants. This suggests that small and medium businesses in the Far East are not only solving problems here and now, but are also ready to work for the future development of the region," said Alexander Isaevich, CEO of the SME Corporation.

The largest increase in the volume of attracted financing was recorded in the Sakha Republic (Yakutia) (98%), Amur Region (73%), Chukotka Autonomous Okrug (66%), Magadan Region (26%), and Primorsky Krai (11%).

The National Guarantee System, along with the SME Corporation, includes regional guarantee organizations (RGO) and state (municipal) microfinance organizations (GMFO). Thanks to the financial instruments of the NGS participants, entrepreneurs can attract bank financing using guarantees and sureties when there is no own collateral or it is insufficient. Support for entrepreneurs is provided under a specialized federal project included in the national project "Efficient and Competitive Economy".
