Representatives of the Belgorod region signed agreements on the implementation of innovative projects at the RUSSIA EXPO
On January 11, several cooperation agreements on the implementation of promising innovative projects in the Belgorod region were signed at the International RUSSIA EXPO.
The Belgorod region government plans to build a biotechnological plant of fodder enzymes with the company EFKO; to implement projects on the integrated system of waste (mine) water purification and on increasing iron ore production at the Yakovlevsky mining and processing plant together with Severstal Management JSC.
In addition, a protocol of the Coordination Council was signed at the stand as part of a cooperation agreement between the Government of the Belgorod region and Metalloinvest Management Company, which is one of the region's key strategic partners.
"Today we are signing agreements with key strategic partners of the Belgorod region. And behind them there are definite changes in the lives of our people. Changes for the better, which are especially important today for the entire Belgorod region. That is why I am sincerely grateful to our partners who support us and our entire region and help us to increase the pace of social and economic development despite everything", — emphasized Vyacheslav Gladkov, Governor of the Belgorod region.
The construction of a biotechnological plant of feed enzymes in the village of Belaya Vezha with the EFKO management company is an ambitious project for the region both in terms of investment and impact on the life of the region. The volume of investments under the project will amount to 9 billion 420 million rubles, at least 70 new jobs will be created, and the volume of biotechnological products will amount to at least two thousand tons per year. The implementation of high-tech production will become an additional incentive for the development of the agro-industrial sector.
A program of measures on social and economic partnership for 2024 was signed with Metalloinvest management company. The total contribution of the parties within the framework of this partnership will amount to about 4.5 billion rubles, including 1.7 billion rubles in investments by Metalloinvest and another 2.8 billion rubles in contributions from the Belgorod region.
Metalloinvest is the key strategic partner of the Belgorod region in the field of metallurgy nationwide. This work will continue in 2024.
Two cooperation agreements on two projects at the Yakovlevsky Mining and Processing Plant were signed with Severstal Management JSC.
The first project is aimed at increasing iron ore production, but the main thing is that this project will become the basis for Severstal to continue to invest in the development of municipalities in the Belgorod region through projects to create a comfortable urban environment, modernize its own production facilities, and through social programs for the region's residents, including metallurgical workers.
The second project is aimed at creating an integrated wastewater purification system at Yakovlevsky Mining and Processing Plant (GOK). Severstal has already built a unique phyto-treatment system at the Yakovlevsky GOK, and the new project is a logical continuation of joint work in the direction of ecological and careful attitude to the environment without reducing the pace of industrial production.
"Today we, as a region, feel the support of all our enterprises. And it is not only mandatory payments or the projects that we have laid down today in the program of socio-economic partnership. I am also talking about the willingness to lend a helping hand at any moment of the day and night, to solve any unforeseen situations together. Despite the difficult situation, we will cope with any trouble. We will work together and increase our efforts to protect people and develop the region. We have many victories and achievements ahead of us", — Vyacheslav Gladkov noted.
