Industrial leadership is one of the most important priorities
outlined in the Socio-Economic Development Strategy
of Leningrad Region up to 2030. To enter the top 10 most
industrially developed regions in Russia, Leningrad region
creates industrial parks for placement of new enterprises,
provides tax benefits and preferences for manufacturers
and develops human resources.
Differentiated approach to economy and increase of the
gross regional product (by 56% over the last five years
in current prices) would have been impossible without

successfully worked in Leningrad region for a long time
frequently expand their production capacities, and
steadily working and developing companies act as the best
