The Special Economic Zone "Alabuga" took first place in the list of leaders of the fifth National rating of investment attractiveness of special economic zones (SEZ) of industrial and production type and port, prepared by the Association for the Development of Clusters and Technoparks of Russia jointly with the Ministry of Economic Development.
The SEZ attractiveness rating is compiled annually. The authors take into account statistical data and information received from management companies of economic zones, the Ministry of Economic Development, from open sources, as well as assessments of SEZ residents and experts. The rating is divided into two types: industrial-production and port economic zones and technical-implementation ones.
According to experts, the Tatarstan platform in its work was able to take into account all key areas of development, including the requirements for climate orientation, which is currently dominant when choosing an investor site.
A feature of this year's rating is its widest possible coverage – it includes not only SEZs that have long proven themselves as successfully functioning, but also newly created SEZs that are under development. In 2021, the investment attractiveness rating included 27 SEZs from 21 regions of Russia.
