Thanks to financial support measures, Moscow enterprises have attracted approximately 300 billion rubles for production development. Sergei Sobyanin announced this on his channel in MAX messenger.

"For four years of action

interest compensation programs for investment loans Moscow Foundation for the Support of Industry and Entrepreneurship "The project has provided assistance to more than 170 companies. The funds have been used to purchase over 1,600 units of equipment, more than 2.6 million square meters of production space are under construction, and approximately 50,000 new high-paying jobs will be created by 2030," noted Sergei Sobyanin.

Sergei Sobyanin has instructed that a comprehensive package of financial support measures for industrial enterprises operating in sectors vital to the city's economy will continue in 2026. Furthermore, the Moscow Fund for the Support of Industry and Entrepreneurship will begin implementing a financial support program for the development of a network of electric vehicle charging stations.

Compensation of interest rates on loans for industry

The Moscow Government approved a program to compensate interest on investment loans for Moscow industry in 2022.

Companies can use the funds received under this program to purchase new equipment, build production infrastructure, and implement high-tech projects, as well as to acquire rights to intellectual property.

To participate in the program, businesses must sign a loan agreement and then apply to the Moscow Fund for Support of Industry and Entrepreneurship. If the application is approved, a financial support agreement is signed to offset a portion of the loan interest costs. Afterward, depending on the interest deduction period, the necessary funds are transferred to the companies' accounts at the banks where the loan is issued.

In 2025, the maximum investment loan amount was increased from three to five billion rubles, and the term was increased from three to five years. Interest rate compensation for investment loans raised for production development is 50 percent of the Bank of Russia's key rate.

Over the four years of the program's implementation, Moscow companies have attracted approximately 300 billion rubles in investment loans, approximately 80 percent of which went toward the construction of industrial infrastructure. The remaining 20 percent was invested in purchasing new equipment and acquiring intellectual property rights (such as industrial automation solutions), as well as connecting industrial facilities to city grids.

To date, over 184,000 square meters of industrial space has already been built. These include a furniture manufacturing complex owned by Felix, with an area of over 13,000 square meters (1st Kraskovsky Proezd, Building 38a); a plant producing aerated concrete blocks owned by Tetradom LLC, with an area of over 21,000 square meters (Zelenograd, 5500th Proezd, Land Plot No. 4/2); and an industrial complex for the production of radiation monitoring equipment owned by Doza LLC, with an area of 13,000 square meters (Zelenograd, Akademika Valieva Street, Building 4).

In addition, a pharmaceutical manufacturing plant, Velpharm-M, with an area of over 33,700 square meters, and a pharmaceutical manufacturing facility, R-Opra, with an area of approximately 30,600 square meters, were built at the Alabushevo site of the Technopolis Moscow special economic zone.

A production complex for the manufacture of automotive components, Alpha Automative Technologies LLC, with an area of 36.5 thousand square meters (Stupinsky proezd, building 2), and a fruit ripening enterprise, Speleye Frukty LLC, with an area of 25 thousand square meters (Vnukovo, quarter 63, building 1b, building 8), were opened.

Projects implemented with the support of the fund

In 2025, with the support of the Moscow Fund for the Support of Industry and Entrepreneurship, 18 industrial projects will continue to be implemented. These projects will create over 2,300 jobs.

Among the projects supported by the fund:

— construction of a robotic plant for the production of ultra-large residential modules in the Vnukovo area (Technopolis Moscow SEZ, Tolstopaltsevo site);

— launch of the radio electronics production facility Neoros LLC with a focus on the production of next-generation optoelectronic devices (Technopolis Moscow SEZ, Pechatniki site);

— creation of the production complex of S.P. Gelpik LLC, where stands for X-ray diagnostic equipment will be produced;

— launch of new production lines of Parus Electro LLC for the manufacture of automation systems, switchgear for power plants, products for data centers and renewable energy;

— technical re-equipment of the production of educational equipment by Neks-T LLC (Technopolis Moscow SEZ, Pechatniki site);

— purchase and commissioning of high-tech equipment to increase the production capacity of bakery products at the Cheryomushki confectionery and bakery plant;

— acquisition of new equipment and localization of production of spices and tea by Ekom Company LLC (Senkino industrial technology park);

— purchase of equipment for the production of automotive electronics by NPP Itelma, including a universal body electronics unit, an ERA-GLONASS unit, and an engine management system controller;

Furthermore, with the foundation's support, Plasma-Next, a resident of the Technopolis Moscow Special Economic Zone, raised funds for the construction of a high-tech facility to produce human plasma-derived products, including albumin and immunoglobulin. These products are used to treat patients with chronic diseases and during surgical interventions.

Another resident of the Technopolis Moscow SEZ, Artsellens, will use city-funded construction to build a facility to produce biosimilar drugs for the treatment of cancer and autoimmune diseases.

The Svoboda factory, a cosmetics manufacturer, has secured investment to complete construction of an industrial complex covering over 23,500 square meters in northeast Moscow. The facility will produce up to 400 cosmetics. Meanwhile, integrated circuit manufacturer Mikron JSC is completing construction of its own boiler plant to provide Category I heat for its microelectronics production facility. As a result, three boilers with a total capacity of 18 megawatts will be commissioned in early 2026.

Industrial equipment leasing

With the help of the Moscow Fund for Support of Industry and Entrepreneurship, Moscow-based manufacturers can offset part of their industrial equipment leasing costs. Small and medium-sized businesses modernizing their production or developing new products are eligible for the program. The city provides support for three years, with a maximum amount of 300 million rubles. Companies are then required to purchase the equipment acquired under the lease agreement.

Since the program's launch, 16 companies have received equipment leasing assistance, raising nearly 2.2 billion rubles.

Development of sports infrastructure

Starting in July 2024, investors developing sports infrastructure will be able to take advantage of the financial support program. These projects include football arenas, indoor skating rinks and tennis courts, swimming pools, sports complexes with multi-purpose halls, and other sports and fitness facilities. The interest rate on investment loans for the construction of sports facilities will be three percent, with a maximum loan size of 500 million rubles and a term of up to three years.

Since the program's inception, investors developing sports infrastructure have raised over five billion rubles. Ten sports facilities, with a total area of over 110,000 square meters, have already been commissioned. Nine more, with a total area of over 60,000 square meters, are under construction.

Development of a charging network for electric vehicles

Starting in 2026, private investors will be able to receive compensation for up to 50 percent of the costs of connecting electric vehicle charging stations to the city grid through the Moscow Fund for Support of Industry and Entrepreneurship, up to a maximum of two million rubles per charging station.

With the city's support, private investors are expected to install at least 685 fast charging stations in 2026–2027.

Specialists urban economy complex The building of the A.S. Pushkin Moscow Drama Theater on Tverskoy Boulevard has been equipped with new architectural and artistic lighting. This was announced by the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Housing, Utilities, and Public Works. Petr Biryukov.

"We developed a special lighting design for the historic building, which is a federal cultural heritage site. The main goal was to highlight the unique elements of the façade and highlight the theater posters. Power engineers installed nearly 40 lighting fixtures with a total output of 2.3 kilowatts," said Pyotr Biryukov.

For the theater's architectural lighting, linear luminaires, spotlights with neutral white LEDs, and flexible luminaires with colored LEDs were used. The lighting can operate in two modes: everyday and festive.

In accordance with the adopted concept, all new lighting in the capital is warm or neutral white and moderately lit. This allows for the careful accentuation of building details and elements, creating a unified lighting space.

Over the past 13 years, Moscow's lighting levels have doubled, and the number of buildings with architectural and artistic lighting has quadrupled. In total, the capital is now illuminated by over one million lamps, with energy consumption reduced thanks to the use of energy-efficient LEDs.

NSU scientists will publish Russia's first scientific research encyclopedic dictionary, "Legal Bioethics."

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: Novosibirsk State University –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Scientists Institute of Philosophy and Law of NSU initiated the publication of Russia's first scientific research encyclopedic dictionary. Currently, 300 terms have been described. The publication's editorial board includes leading experts in biolaw and bioethics, representing scientific schools in Novosibirsk, Krasnoyarsk, Chelyabinsk, Yekaterinburg, Tomsk, and Moscow. Among the invited experts are professors and associate professors from the Institute of Philosophy and Law and Institute of Medicine and Medical Technologies of NSU, Institute of Philosophy and Law of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, O.E. Kutafin Moscow State Law University (MSAL), Higher School of Economics, Ural State Law University named after V.F. Yakovlev, Law Institute of Tomsk State University, MGIMO University of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation, N.A. Semashko National Research Institute of Public Health, and Lomonosov Moscow State University.

The book is planned to be published in 2026 by one of the major Moscow publishing houses specializing in scientific publications on similar topics; both print and electronic versions will be available.

The research and publication of the dictionary was supported by the Russian Science Foundation grant No. 25-18-00338 “Anthropological bioconstitutionalism and the achievement of bioethical well-being in the system of ensuring humanitarian biosecurity: human dignity and new human rights in legal ontology and biosocial reproduction.”The grant is for three years and, in addition to the dictionary, includes thematic roundtable discussions, the publication of collective monographs, and proposals for changes to current Russian legislation.

There are publications on global and European bioethics worldwide, and this field is currently supported by UNESCO, with which Russia actively collaborates. However, in our country, no encyclopedias have yet been published that present legal bioethics as an interdisciplinary field.

"This is a study, not exactly a dictionary. In our country, physicians and philosophers publish bioethics textbooks, and, as a rule, they are aimed at different cultural environments. Philosophers publish bioethics textbooks primarily for use by philosophy students. And physicians create bioethics textbooks for use by medical students. Legal bioethics combines three areas: human rights in this area, biomedicine and the ethics of medical research, and the ethics of conduct for healthcare professionals. Thus, our publication is intended not only for the professional community—physicians—but also for lawyers, philosophers, and members of ethics committees," explained Igor Kravets, Doctor of Law, Professor, Head of the Department of Constitutional and Municipal Law, Chief Research Fellow at the Institute of Philosophy and Law at NSU, and project manager.

The dictionary's editorial board included approximately 20 researchers from four scientific schools—the Ural, Siberian, Krasnoyarsk, and Moscow. Among the participants were leading experts such as Andrey Medushevsky, Doctor of Philosophy and Professor at the Higher School of Economics (HSE), Mikhail Kotlovsky, Doctor of Medicine and Chief Researcher at the N.A. Sechenov National Research Institute of Public Health. Semashko" (Moscow), Valentina Komarova, Doctor of Law, Professor (MSAL), Olga Andreeva, Doctor of Law, Professor (Tomsk), Andrey Kondrashev, Doctor of Law, Professor (Krasnoyarsk), Irina Krylatova, Candidate of Law, Associate Professor (Ekaterinburg), Georgy Romanovsky, Doctor of Law, Professor (Saransk), Andrey Tulupov, Doctor of Medical Sciences, Professor, Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Novosibirsk), Elena Titova, Doctor of Law, Professor (Chelyabinsk), Alexandra Troitskaya, Doctor of Law, Professor (Moscow) and other experts.

The dictionary's structure has now been established, and a table of key terms has been compiled. These terms are divided into five major sections: theory and history of bioethics, relationship with human rights; biomedicine and branches of law; bioethics and law enforcement practice; bioethics and healthcare; neuroethics and human neurorights. The structure of each term has been developed. It includes a conceptual level, that is, a definition and information about the scientific discussion of the concept or theory underlying the term; a problematic level, that is, problems of implementation and use of the term; the relationship between ethical and legal aspects in the term; and its practical implementation—either at the level of terminology or the specific institution designated by the term at the international and Russian levels.

The total number of terms described currently exceeds 300. Among the concepts presented in the dictionary are legal bioethics, a term that is still emerging; bioethical rights; neurolaw; neuroethics; cognitive dignity; biocriminology; and others.

The dictionary is compiled using UNESCO materials, reports, the results of the work of bioethics committees and scientific research, in particular the journals Bioethics, Medical Bioethics, and journals at the intersection of life sciences, human rights and law.

During the three-year period of the grant supporting the dictionary's publication, various research projects are planned within the designated topic. This year, articles were published on biosecurity and state guarantees of human biorights. On December 5, 2025, a roundtable discussion was held at NSU, which also served as a pilot study for the research conducted in the field of legal bioethics in 2025. In the third year of implementation, a collective monograph on legal bioethics is planned to be published, involving all participants who worked on the encyclopedic dictionary.

Importantly, the project has a practical focus: based on its results, it is planned to prepare three sets of proposals for improving legislation in the field of biolaw and biomedicine. The first is a proposal for legislation on public health protection. The second set, arising from it, concerns legislation on compulsory health insurance. The third set is so-called related legislation on the legal status of individuals participating in various biomedical research, the practice of establishing ethics committees, and the exercise of rights in biomedicine. This set will address issues of legal modeling and the organization of healthcare governance, and will also include the preparation of model acts regulating the activities of bioethics committees and bioethics centers.

Another result of the project will be the creation of a Center for Bioneuroethics and Bioneurolaw at Novosibirsk State University.

"Our university possesses a rare quality: we have philosophical, legal, and medical education—specialists in each of these three fields. Therefore, it's possible to create a center that will conduct research in the field of bioneurolaw, provide expert opinions, and participate in state assignments to study these issues. This will be an interdisciplinary center, inviting experts from other educational and scientific centers in Russia," added Igor Kravets.

BEIJING, December 11 (Xinhua) — As of December 9, the volume of cargo handled through the Ceke Port on the China-Mongolia border has surpassed 30 million tons since the beginning of this year. This means the border crossing has exceeded the annual cargo throughput target of 30 million tons envisaged by the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-2025), the Neimenggu Ribao daily reported on Thursday.

Passenger traffic through the aforementioned checkpoint from January 1 to December 9 totaled 460,000 person-times, and vehicle traffic totaled 410,000. Both figures reached historical highs in the 33 years since the border crossing began operating, demonstrating a significant increase in its role as the main conduit for energy trade between China and Mongolia.

The Ceke Port is located in the Ejin District of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region in northern China. It is an important transportation hub, trade center, cargo distribution center, and resource conduit in northern China, connecting China with other countries.

Since the beginning of 2025, the Tseke checkpoint, actively promoting the dual modernization of infrastructure and intelligent systems, has created an intelligent customs clearance system that helps reduce vehicle inspection time by 40%.

“The Tseke checkpoint will make full use of its geographical advantages and channel capabilities to further strengthen ties and coordination with Mongolia, accelerate the expansion and reconstruction of road freight channels, build special channels for hazardous chemicals and export goods, and strive to bring freight turnover to a new peak in 2026,” the border crossing administration stated. -0-
