On the sidelines of the International RUSSIA EXPO in the pavilion of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia "Made by Us" Denis Manturov, Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation - Minister of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation, held a meeting with members of the Interregional Union "Club of Young Industrialists".

The head of the Club Anton Kovalev reported on the results of work for 2023, while young industrialists presented their projects. He said that the Club of Young Industrialists held more than 50 profile events, organized cooperation with major corporations such as EUC and Gazprom Neft, as well as Belorussian enterprises within the framework of the ongoing "Industrial Cooperation Exchange".

"It is really good that you involve your colleagues from Belorussia. Within the framework of the Union State and the Eurasian Economic Space in general, we cooperate closely. Today, cooperation between our enterprises is very much in demand, and we recognize the technological cooperation that is made on the basis of Belorussian companies on Russian products and vice versa. This practice should be spread", — said Denis Manturov.

Anton Kovalev noted that the Club members actively use the tools of state support, including "industrial mortgage" and loans of the Industrial Development Fund. At the end of his report, he thanked the Deputy Prime Minister - Head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia for his comprehensive support.

"Meetings with you are always very valuable and productive for young industrialists. Colleagues demonstrate their own products, talk about projects. As a result, they receive advice from you and the industry departments of the Ministry of Industry and Trade on the quality implementation of these projects".

Additionally, the participants of the meeting presented their best practices. In particular, Polina Sharova, the founder of Hermes-Ural LLC (Sverdlovsk region), told about the project to preserve the production of boiler equipment at the enterprises of the former German holding Viessmann, which left Russia. This year Hermes Group acquired these enterprises in the Lipetsk region, preserved quality standards and created a full production cycle.

The number of employees has grown from 100 to 350. Artem Shamkov, Executive Director of Barnaul Autoformed Heat Resistant Products Plant (Altai region), shared the stages of implementation of two projects - modernization of auto components production (friction pads and linings) and improvement of labor productivity at the calendared fabric production site. For their implementation the company received a loan from the Industrial Development Fund for the total amount of 278.5 million rubles.
