The construction of non-residential real estate plays an important role in the comprehensive formation of a comfortable urban environment. The construction of commercial, industrial, administrative and social buildings contributes to the creation of a balanced infrastructure and sustainable economic growth, and also provides employment for the population. This was reported by Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.

"The construction of non-residential infrastructure is a prerequisite for the harmonious development of settlements and improving the quality of life of people. Schools, clinics, enterprises and shopping centers create an environment in which residential areas become truly comfortable for living. In the first six months of this year, 14.2 million square meters of non-residential premises were commissioned in the country, which is 11% more than last year. This generally indicates the development of business activity and the improvement of infrastructure provision in the country. If we talk about the distribution by region, then about 63% of the total volume of non-residential construction in Russia falls on three federal districts – Central, Volga and Northwestern," said Marat Khusnullin.

According to the Deputy Prime Minister, the largest increase is observed in the sphere of retail space – its commissioning increased by 25.3%, reaching 4.9 million sq. m. The volume of commissioned administrative buildings also increased significantly – by 21.9% (to 543.8 thousand sq. m). The industrial sector also shows positive dynamics: in the first half of the year, 2.8 million sq. m of facilities were commissioned, which is 6.2% more than a year earlier.

Among the federal districts, the leaders in terms of growth in the commissioning of non-residential real estate were the Urals (44% compared to the same period last year, about 1.3 million sq. m were commissioned in the first half of 2025), Far Eastern (30%, 664 thousand sq. m were commissioned) and Northwestern (25%, almost 1.6 million sq. m were commissioned) districts.

"Statistics of non-residential building commissioning by federal districts are quite diverse, since for certain types of buildings, there is an obvious multiple increase in the volume of commissioning. For example, the Volga, Ural and Far Eastern Federal Districts have the main growth in commercial real estate, the Central and Northwestern Federal Districts – in the administrative real estate sector, the Southern Federal District is the best in commissioning industrial space, and the North Caucasian Federal District is the leader in commissioning agricultural buildings. At the same time, in terms of federal districts, the commissioning structure is stable," noted Minister of Construction and Housing and Public Utilities Irek Faizullin.

Among the subjects of the Russian Federation in the first half of 2025, the leaders in terms of total commissioning of non-residential buildings were Moscow Region, where about 1.9 million square meters were commissioned, Moscow (more than 1 million square meters), Sverdlovsk Region (656.4 thousand square meters), St. Petersburg (557.2 thousand square meters), Krasnodar Region (501.3 thousand square meters) and the Republic of Tatarstan (493.8 thousand square meters).

"According to available data, 11,964 permits for the construction of non-residential buildings for a total area of 27.7 million square meters were issued in January-June 2025. Moreover, industrial and commercial facilities are in the lead. This is 9.4 million square meters and 4.7 million square meters, respectively," said Dina Safiullina, head of the Project Directorate of the Ministry of Construction.

Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko and Minister of Economic Development Maxim Reshetnikov spoke about the training of specialists for the tourism industry.

Today, more than 200 higher education institutions and 300 colleges across the country provide training for the tourism and hospitality industry. More than 320 thousand people receive specialized education there.

The admissions campaign is currently underway in Russian universities and institutions of secondary vocational education. In higher education areas related to tourism, applicants have already submitted applications to approximately 130 thousand competition groups, and about 120 thousand applications have been sent to institutions of secondary vocational education.

"President Vladimir Putin has set the task of increasing the tourist flow to 140 million people per year by 2030. To achieve this, large-scale investment projects are being implemented within the framework of the national project "Tourism and Hospitality". The key importance today is the training of specialized specialists for the tourism sector. In 2025, more than 80 thousand budget places have been allocated for universities and secondary vocational education institutions in the field of "Tourism and Hospitality", – emphasized Dmitry Chernyshenko.

Currently, the tourism industry employs about 1 million people. In 2024, educational institutions graduated about 55 thousand specialists for the tourism sector, including more than 6.4 thousand university graduates and over 48 thousand specialists with secondary vocational education.

In addition to basic training, work is also underway to improve the qualifications and professional retraining of already working specialists. According to the Ministry of Economic Development, until 2030, the tourism industry will additionally need up to 400 thousand employees, of which 45 thousand with higher education, with secondary professional – 116 thousand.

Minister of Economic Development Maxim Reshetnikov emphasized the need for a comprehensive approach: "It is important to integrate secondary vocational education with the demands of the tourism industry, cooperate with strong regional universities and increase labor productivity. For this purpose, competence centers in tourism have already begun operating at the Kavkaz.RF corporation. So that educational institutions can quickly and efficiently meet the industry's need for specialists."

In order to improve the quality of personnel provision for the tourism industry, federal resource centers for personnel training have been created within the framework of the national project "Tourism and Hospitality". They are located in the Moscow Region at the Russian State University of Tourism and Service (RGUTIS), Tatarstan and St. Petersburg.

Since 2023, more than 11 thousand people have been trained in the centers, and by the end of 2025, it is planned to train about 6.5 thousand more specialists. Among them are managers of hotel complexes, tour guides, specialists in the field of strategic planning in tourism and service organization.

In the Federal Resource Center for Personnel Training for the Tourism and Hospitality Industry, RGUTIS, more than half of the programs are aimed at developing human resources in the hotel industry and the catering industry, including optimizing the operation of accommodation facilities, managing modular hotels, and increasing the efficiency of business services.

The discussion focused on the company’s use of government measures to support producers, new innovative projects of OrenKlip, issues of localization of production and personnel training.

From the transcript:

M. Mishustin: Dear Mikhail Georgievich!

Your company has been on the market for over 20 years. You produce high-tech equipment, equip entire production lines with technologies that are in great demand in our industry today.

It is important that you not only create new products, but also provide warranty and service services, so that consumers can receive both spare parts and machine tool adjustments, and this is very important in such a high-tech and complex industry as machine tool manufacturing.

The President noted that it is necessary to support manufacturers. And the Government helps such companies using a whole range of tools. First of all, this is the Industrial Development Fund, preferential loans, preferential subsidies that you received. Such popular support measures as Rosagroleasing programs for purchasing Russian equipment were also, I know, used by your enterprise.

How much have these mechanisms helped you? And a few words about your enterprise in general.

Founder of the company "OrenKlip" Mikhail Ivanov.

M. Ivanov: Dear Mikhail Vladimirovich, thank you for paying close attention not only to machine tool building in general, but also to the food engineering industry in particular. Thanks to government support, the industry is experiencing a real renaissance today.

The OrenKlip Group of Companies manufactures equipment for the production of sausages and all types of semi-finished products. We also manufacture related equipment for freezing and wastewater treatment.

This year our company turned 20 years old. We have a staff of slightly more than 300 people, taking into account the new site introduced in the Orenburg region. The production base is equipped with a modern machine park with a high share of domestic equipment. In our production, it exceeds 65%, and if you look at the turning/milling group, which we use to produce food equipment, it is about 90%. Machines for laser cutting, cutting, laser welding, laser cleaning – all 100% of the machines at both sites are produced by Unimash, Morsvyazavtomatika, the city of St. Petersburg, our good long-standing partner. The turning/milling group at our enterprise is also represented by machines from Stankomashkompleks, the city of Tver. We have no other machines.

We started with purchasing machines localized in the Russian Federation, in Ulyanovsk. DMG was there before, and after DMG left, we work entirely with Stankomashkompleks. We also have machines specifically for the production of particularly complex technological products. These are machines manufactured in the Orenburg Region – the South Ural Mechanical Plant, the city of Kuvandyk. This is especially gratifying. We are also now putting into operation a new metal heat treatment shop. Here we will have equipment from Intercelt, the city of St. Petersburg. And the list can go on for quite a long time. We have a lot of domestic developments. We strive to produce domestic food equipment on Russian-made machines, using domestically produced raw materials and Russian consumables and components. And I think that we will come very close to this goal with the commissioning of the Russian Stainless Company plant this year. The main raw material for our production will be cold-rolled stainless steel up to 3 mm. This is what is needed in the food and many other industries.

Today we have another achievement – this year we opened an automation and robotics plant in the territory of the special economic zone "Orenburg", the plant began work in early January of this year with a metalworking shop. On June 10 of this year we launched the full cycle.

We also use quite broad support measures. We work closely with the FRP. The first support measures of the regional industrial development fund helped us to establish the initial production of components for high-speed thermoforming machines for packaging sausages.

We implemented the second support measure – a loan of 126 million – to increase the number of spare parts produced and to localize the production of high-speed thermoforming machines more.

The next stage of development was the construction of a site for the production of these high-speed thermoforming machines. At the food engineering forum, we announced a preferential leasing program for Russian manufacturers of food equipment in 2023. And the first machine produced by the automation and robotics plant – a high-speed thermoforming machine – is under the preferential leasing program.

M. Mishustin: For the success of the projects that you are planning within the industrial technology park, including high-tech processes, competent personnel are, of course, necessary. We are actively working on the instructions of the head of state to form a single, integrated system of personnel training. From the school bench, when entire engineering classes are created or classes by specialty. Then – professionalism. Moreover, clustering, professionalism is carried out jointly with companies like yours, which can already look in advance, select the guys needed for production, and participate in the methodology of the educational process. And ending with higher education institutions, institutes, universities. You know about our advanced engineering schools, about the Strategy-2030 program. This is very important.

Do you use programs related to professionalism and advanced engineering schools to attract young personnel? Because it is very important for young people to adapt to new industries. Do you participate in such programs?

M. Ivanov: Yes, we participate in the "Professionality" program. We cooperate with four colleges in Orenburg. This is the College of Computer Science. Our entire group of young IT specialists are college graduates, and this is the first or second year. When there was a shortage of personnel in the IT industry, we simply attracted students from this college. And we did very well. This is the Humanities and Technical College. This is also the college of Orenburg State University.

M. Mishustin: What about universities?

M. Ivanov: We cooperate with the university, which also makes us happy. Alma mater is Orenburg State University. This year, as anchor partners of Orenburg State University, we will participate in submitting an application for an advanced engineering school. Orenburg State University also has a “road map” for development, robotics and automation, and, accordingly, special personnel are being trained for this program – we are also actively participating in this, we have several partner programs in this area.

M. Mishustin: It is obvious that this year the market volume of the products you deal with has grown significantly – by about a third. This is primarily equipment for the food and processing industry. This is, of course, largely due to the achievements of our agricultural industry as a whole. There is growth in both key industries, including livestock farming and meat processing, and in other promising ones.

This means that demand for your products is growing – these are modern machines, equipment lines. Moreover, the tasks of developing our own production in this sector have not yet been solved. For now, the share of domestic equipment on the domestic market is slightly more than half.

What interesting and new things can you offer to the agricultural industry? What innovative developments are you going to implement in your production?

M. Ivanov: Among our modern and interesting projects is a joint project with Vkusno i Tochka and the Cherkizovo group of companies, this is the production of high-performance production lines for the well-known nuggets, fully prepared products.

M. Mishustin: What localization?

M. Ivanov: Localization, I think, 90%.

M. Mishustin: Great.

M. Ivanov: Our company is already making lines with a capacity of 2.5-3.5 tons per hour for our major client, Abi Product – Myasnaya Galereya (Vladimir). And together with Vkusno i Tochka and Cherkizovo, we want to make a line with a capacity of 5 tons per hour. Only three companies in the world make such lines today. We want to be among them.

Another promising development we have is robotization of all types of processes. This is robotization of cutting lamb, robotization on the cutting line for cattle and pigs, robotization of the stacking of finished sausage products (sausages, sausages, etc.), as well as end processes. We pay great attention to this issue.

M. Mishustin: I visited one of the enterprises when we were in the Caucasus – “Damate”. And its director, Naum Aleksandrovich (Babaev), who showed me the entire production system, spoke about the demand for domestic equipment and promised (this was several years ago) to place as many orders as possible specifically for domestic equipment.

When do you think we will be able to assemble the necessary equipment for such enterprises entirely from domestic technological means – both machine tools and other equipment?

M. Ivanov: Mikhail Vladimirovich, today, I believe, we are ready. I am talking not only about my enterprise, but also about the pool of enterprises that has formed in Russia. We are ready. We only need projects.

M. Mishustin: And demand, right? That is, demand needs to be generated.

M. Ivanov: Demand is needed. And Naum Aleksandrovich, to his credit, is a pioneer in this matter.

M. Mishustin: Do you know each other?

M. Ivanov: Yes. The plant in Cherkessk, which you visited.

M. Mishustin: Is your equipment there?

M. Ivanov: 100% of the plant was supplied by us. And the level of localization there is quite high.

Several years ago, quite a long time ago, the overall level of localization was about 30%. But, for example, the lamination line, the largest in Eurasia, is already 95% localized. And such a section as the boning line is also 90% of Russian production.

M. Mishustin: It seems to me, Mikhail Georgievich, that this is very important, right step by step. It all starts with the little things. I always say: from some cutting table to a panel – we must try to produce everything in the Russian Federation. After all, we have a huge number of talented technologists, engineers, designers. Technological and industrial sovereignty in any industry, especially in industries like yours, is simply necessary for us.

I would like to wish you and your company good luck and success.
