Four companies from Tatarstan have won grants worth about 700 million rubles following a competition to finance technological projects related to the refinement and creation of products for the tasks of large customers. The support was provided within the framework of the federal project "Technologies" of the national project "Efficient and Competitive Economy". 

Under the program of "growing up" of the ANCO Center for Engineering and Innovation Support, grants of up to 250 million rubles are available to technology companies with revenues of over 300 million rubles for the implementation of projects for the production of components and collect sets for large Russian corporations, including for import substitution purposes. The competition is held within the framework of the federal Technology project, its key feature is financial support for projects for which demand is guaranteed by corporations. 

The republican winning enterprises are engaged in projects in the field of oil and natural gas extraction and processing technologies, industrial software development and production of components for railway transport. 

A total of 13 Russian companies have received grants for the organization of production and product refinement, most of which are included in the register of small technology companies (STC).
