From July 5 to 8, the international industrial exhibition INNOPROM was held in Yekaterinburg for the 11th time. B2SCAN LLC acted as a representative of one of the 11 regional enterprises at the Ulyanovsk Region stand.

On July 6, the Head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia visited the exhibition. The Minister was particularly interested in the products of the resident of the Ulyanovsk PSEZ – the BITUSKAN company – equipment for ensuring public safety at transport infrastructure facilities and places of mass gathering.

The Ulyanovsk region is currently actively interacting with the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation, strengthening cooperation with the Industrial Development Fund.

“At the exhibition site, negotiations were held with the federal IDF, its director Roman Petrutsa. We discussed the possibilities of supporting projects that already use preferential loans from the regional Fund for Development and Financing of Entrepreneurship. Businesses need additional funds to expand and modernize production. A mandatory requirement for all projects that we support is the creation of new jobs with decent wages. In the near future, we plan to attract preferential loans from the FRD for a total of 1 billion rubles,” said Acting Chairman of the Government of the Ulyanovsk Region Alexander Smekalin.

In addition, the regional delegation held a number of negotiations with companies. “The forum agenda with an emphasis on the new technological order and digitalization confirmed that we are moving in the right direction,” said Executive Director of the Regional Development Corporation Igor Ryabikov.
