The Moscow production site successfully passed an inspection by the Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade and received a certificate of compliance with the Good Manufacturing Practices of the Eurasian Economic Union for the production of monoclonal antibodies. This was announced by the Minister of the Moscow Government and Head of the Moscow Department of Investment and Industrial Policy. Anatoly Garbuzov.

Monoclonal antibodies serve as the active ingredients in medications used to treat cancer, autoimmune, infectious, and other diseases. The company plans to launch its products in the first half of 2026.

"The pharmaceutical industry is one of Moscow's priority areas for industrial development. The city provides all the necessary conditions for companies to master the most complex technologies and produce innovative medicines. For example, the Binnopharm plant has received permission to produce monoclonal antibodies and will introduce the first drug in this series to the market next year. Production of the substance has already begun at the site," said Anatoly Garbuzov.

The first biotech drug to be produced at the plant will be adalimumab, a biological immunosuppressant. It is used for more than 10 medical indications, including rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, Crohn's disease, Behçet's disease, and other conditions. The company plans to produce approximately 10,000 packages of this drug per year. Work is also underway to localize the production of several other biotech drugs.

"Successfully passing the inspection by the Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade is important confirmation that our processes comply with the latest international requirements. The license expansion and the launch of monoclonal antibody production open a new level of technological development for the company. Monoclonal antibodies are an important part of modern therapy for a wide range of diseases, including cancer and autoimmune diseases. Their production requires high-precision equipment, a developed biotechnological infrastructure, and a mature quality system," noted Naala Grivapsh, Corporate Quality Director at Binnopharm Group.

The company is investing additional funds in its development with the support of the city. The plant has industrial complex status, which entitles it to tax breaks, and also benefits from the Moscow Fund for the Support of Industry and Entrepreneurship's interest reimbursement program for investment loans.

Based on the results of the first nine months of 2025, the manufacturer's Moscow site increased its production volume of pharmaceuticals by 34 percent compared to the previous year.

Biometrics is the fastest and most convenient way to pay for public transportation. Currently, it is used by approximately 700,000 people. More than 1.2 million passes are made using biometrics on public transportation each week. Since its launch, the service has been used over 185 million times. This was announced by the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport and Industry. Maxim Liksutov.

"The biometric fare payment service was launched at all metro stations in 2021, following Sergei Sobyanin's instructions. Today, passengers make approximately 200,000 trips per weekday using facial recognition, and this number is steadily growing. I was one of the first users of the system and recommend everyone to join and try it. Our development complies with the most stringent requirements of Russian legislation. All user data is encrypted and protected, and payment information is stored exclusively on the bank's side," noted Maxim Liksutov.

The modern biometric payment service operates at all metro and Moscow Central Circle turnstiles, regular river electric transport, Aeroexpress train routes, and some Moscow Central Diameters stations (Nakhabino, Three Stations Square, Likhobory, and Zelenograd-Kryukovo).

Biometric payment is secure, convenient, and affordable: a single metro ride costs just 63 rubles. Furthermore, passengers don't need cards or wallets to pass through the turnstile. A single glance at the camera is all it takes, and the gate opens.

Data is under reliable protection

Fraudsters won't be able to access other people's biometric data. It's securely encrypted and stored on protected servers within the metro's closed network. The entire system complies with the strictest legal requirements. The service boasts banking-level security.

But even if scammers get their hands on the information on the servers, it will be useless, as they store anonymous, encrypted biometric keys.

There's a myth that someone else can apply for a loan using a passenger's biometric data. This isn't true. Biometrics in public transport are used to authenticate passengers and conduct microtransactions, such as fare payment. A different type of biometrics is required to apply for a loan. This type is suitable for user identification and complex financial transactions.

The biometric vector stored on the metro's servers is a string of characters that cannot be decoded back into a facial image. The payment data for biometric users on public transport is stored exclusively by the bank. Therefore, the passenger's funds and identity are completely secure.

Optimal identification

Biometric payment cannot be performed using a photograph—the turnstile simply won't open. The service uses Liveness technology. A neural network distinguishes a living person, their facial expressions, and even the slightest movements from images or videos on a phone.

Another fact: glasses, hair, and a mask do not interfere with biometric scanning. At least 40 percent of the face must be exposed for recognition. However, it is recommended to expose the entire face—this will allow the system to more quickly recognize the user and allow them through the turnstile.

How to use the service

You can enable biometric payment in three simple steps. Download the app. Moscow Metro, upload a high-quality photo of your face, and link a bank card with a positive balance to the service. All data will be uploaded to the system within a few hours (usually within 15-20 minutes).

Additionally, you should pay attention to the quality of the photo uploaded to the system. The higher the quality, the easier it will be for the system to recognize your face.

The turnstile doors open in about one second. For the biometric system to work as quickly as possible, stand on the black circle in front of the turnstile, look at the camera, and smile. This way, the system immediately recognizes that you are a real person. Nowhere in the world has this service been implemented on such a scale and with such convenience for passengers as in the capital. Biometric payment is a Russian development and the property of the Moscow Government.

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.

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.
