      The Ministry of Industry, Trade and Entrepreneurship of the Nizhny Novgorod Region summed up the results of the competitive selection for subsidizing part of the costs of acquiring new domestic equipment. The support measure is implemented within the framework of the state program “Development of Industry and Innovation of the Nizhny Novgorod Region” with co-financing from federal funds.

      As a result of the competitive selection, 15 companies will receive compensation for the costs of acquiring new equipment, and the total amount of support will exceed 85 million rubles.

      “Compensation for the purchase of Russian equipment is an effective tool that supports industry in two ways at once: enterprises can acquire equipment at a more affordable cost, and domestic manufacturing plants receive demand for their products. This approach strengthens the region’s industrial potential and contributes to ensuring the country’s technological sovereignty,” said Minister of Industry, Trade and Entrepreneurship of the Nizhny Novgorod Region Maxim Cherkasov.

      Reimbursable costs included expenditures under purchase agreements for new domestic equipment acquired in 2023–2025. Compensation amounts to up to 50% of the cost, but no more than 15 million rubles for each enterprise. Companies registered in the Nizhny Novgorod Region and operating in the manufacturing sector were eligible to apply for the subsidies.

      In evaluating applications, additional criteria were taken into account: membership in the region’s industrial clusters, participation in the federal project “Labor Productivity” and in the “Young Industrialist of the Year” competition. Also considered were work with the state industrial information system (GISP) and providing support to Nizhny Novgorod participants of the special military operation. The main condition for receiving support was inclusion of the purchased equipment in the Registry of Russian Industrial Products.

      Recall that information about all business support measures at the federal and regional levels can be found at the “My Business” center (мойбизнес52.рф), which operates within the federal project “Small and Medium-sized Entrepreneurship” of the national project “Efficient and Competitive Economy.” A “My Business” hotline operates at the center, where you can also obtain all necessary information. Hotline phone: 8 (800) 301-29-94 (free call).

      The national project “Efficient and Competitive Economy,” initiated by the President of Russia Vladimir Putin, is the main tool for forming a new growth model. It includes federal projects aimed at developing small and medium-sized entrepreneurship, increasing labor productivity, boosting investment activity, low-carbon development and developing the state system of statistics and forecasting. One of the main points of the national project “Small and Medium-sized Entrepreneurship” was creating conditions for an easy start and comfortable business operations. Work to support entrepreneurs in this area continues under the national project “Efficient and Competitive Economy.”
