“We anticipate that at least two new participants from these countries will join the cluster next year. The main objective is to unite the efforts of local producers with partners from abroad,” emphasized the deputy.
According to him, the cluster will continue to expand by attracting companies from other Russian regions. Shustov added that the cluster's work is focused on addressing key challenges in the construction industry, as well as for building material manufacturers and society at large, avoiding a narrow focus on specific themes.
The President of the Tyumen Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Olga Yezikeeva, noted that the regional CCI will oversee the process of formalizing and coordinating the work of specialists from Turkey.
The Tyumen construction industry cluster was included in the federal registry in September of this year. Currently, it comprises 60 companies from five Russian regions with a combined turnover of over 44 billion rubles. Approximately 750 enterprises are collaborating within the cluster’s perimeter.
At present, there are 11 investment projects being implemented within the cluster aimed at creating new and modernizing existing production facilities, as well as producing construction materials and equipment capable of replacing imported counterparts. The total investment in these projects exceeds 7 billion rubles.
Let us remind you that Uzbekistan has officially approved the definition of creative clusters and the main directions of their work. Creative clusters will consist of associations of entrepreneurs, firms, and organizations operating in one or more creative industries and located in the same area.
