Minnikhanov outlined priorities for business at a meeting with entrepreneurs.

      The future of Tatarstan's industries lies in industrial and manufacturing parks. Today, the directions and priorities for business were outlined by the President of the Republic, Rustam Minnikhanov, during a meeting with entrepreneurs. It took place at the M-7 industrial park in the Zelenodolsk district. Among the main challenges this year are changes in taxes and the cost of resources. Many questions were raised, and there were answers to each. More details on this from Inna Danilova.

      Thin, yet very strong. This film is indispensable for preparing animal feed. Silage packed in it can be stored in the field for years without losing its beneficial properties. After all, it is not afraid of ultraviolet light or frost. Moreover, the film is made from recycled materials. "We give new life to waste. We process this film into granules at our production facility. From these granules, we make secondary film," says Artem Biryaltsev, the head of the stretch film recycling company.

      The advantages of domestic developments were demonstrated to the President of Tatarstan, Rustam Minnikhanov, at the "M7 2.0" industrial park. An example of successful import substitution is the products for farmers for applying fertilizers. This nozzle, like other parts, was previously purchased abroad. Now it is produced by one of the small enterprises.

      There is great interest in products that are produced only in Tatarstan. "This company is the only manufacturer of equipment for butt welding of polyethylene pipes in Russia. This is necessary for water and gas pipelines. The products are in high demand," says Valery Brigadnov, the general director of the "M7" industrial park.

      Among the priorities of the first private industrial park in the republic, "M7 2.0," is the production of lifting and cargo equipment for miners and oil workers, as well as measuring and control equipment. After getting acquainted with the work of the industrial park, there was communication with entrepreneurs, among whom are many veterans of the Special Military Operation (SMO). Together with his comrade-in-arms, Ildar Akbulatov opened a company for electrical installation work.

      "The essence of our appeal to the President of Tatarstan is that organizations created by veterans of the SMO should be given orders in the construction sector. So that we can pay a decent salary and bring benefits to the republic," says SMO veteran and entrepreneur Ildar Akbulatov.

      The President of Tatarstan immediately instructed the heads of ministries and departments to work on this issue. "The most important thing is to preserve our economy, maintain jobs, and ensure our victory in the SMO. We will try to study very carefully and make decisions that would allow entrepreneurship in Tatarstan to feel support. We will also communicate what needs to be conveyed to our federal colleagues," noted the President of the Republic of Tatarstan, Rustam Minnikhanov.

      Adapting to tax changes and maintaining benefits for producers with reduced rates, proposals for partnership Islamic financing, and the possibility of using digital money were all discussed during the meeting between the President of Tatarstan and entrepreneurs. Separately, Rustam Minnikhanov focused on the Center for Unique Mastery (CUM), created for craftsmen.

      "This is our face, the face of our republic, the face of our culture. You have already received a remark from me about organizing a showroom there. There should be real life there, real craftsmen should be there — everything has been done for this, absolutely everything," emphasized the President of the Republic of Tatarstan, Rustam Minnikhanov.

      Such an approach will also contribute to the development of the "M7" industrial park, whose sites will operate not only in Zelenodolsk but also in the Pestrechinsky and Verkhneuslonsky districts.
