Economic environment contributes to the development of industries and local authorities predict that the Tatarstan's contribution in import substitution will be significant, especially since the republic became one of the leaders in terms of the development of the manufacturing industry and its growth rate.In August, there is a plan to launch a complex"Ammonium" for the production of ammonia, methanol and urea. The project is implemented by a consortium of companies Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd., Sojitz Corporation and CNCEC. Half of produced by "Ammonius' nitrogen fertilizer will be sold in Russia and the other half in the CIS countries, Europe and Asia.Tatarstan President Rustam Minikhanov believes that they have good prospects for further growth, taking into account a very serious program of modernization and construction of new facilities in the petrochemical complex. "It's a million tons of ethylene, and a deep oil refining complex at our two factories, the launch of the plant for production of mineral fertilizers in 2015. And at the same time, we are very seriously engaged in machine-building complex". In 2006 in Tatarstan special economic zone "Alabuga was created. It provides investors with already prepared industrial, engineering, transport and customs infrastructure, as well as a number of tax and customs privileges. Ford-Sollers, Saint-Gobain, Air Liquide, Rockwool, Sisecam, Hayat Group work here."For today, it is a platform where are already 42 resident and 14 new plants and about 40 billion rubles of proceeds came in last year. All these plants are aimed at import substitution, and this year we have to start 8-9 new plants at least. The next large project is Innopolis. Currently, we talk a lot about import substitution, but the weakest link is software programming. Innopolis should solve this problem. We will start it this year as well," - Minikhanov said. To find new investors for republic you need to provide Engineering infrastructure, he believes. "If you did not provide the engineering infrastructure, no one will come. Secondly, if you do not have a highly professional team, it also did not work. You need to create a resource center. So we decided to create 25 resource centers in the country — 5 centers in this year, 5 in the next. Within 5 years we will completely close this subject, and this work goes along with our industry. We have adopted a program of lean manufacturing. All our industrial enterprises are operating. We have adopted a program for improving productivity. We maximize participation in all federal programs and many of them relate to the Ministry of Industry - modernization, federal programs, and now we work very seriously for the happiness and development of small and medium-sized business".
