The Special Economic Zones (SEZ) in Russia are playing a significant role in driving industrial growth and technological innovation, with two notable examples being the Titanovaya Dolina SEZ in Alapayevsk, Sverdlovsk region, and the SEZ "Tolyatti" in Samara region.
Titanovaya Dolina SEZ
As of the latest updates in 2023-2024, Titanovaya Dolina SEZ is progressing with infrastructure development to support enterprises specializing in titanium production, engineering, and composite materials. The zone has attracted a number of investors working on technology-intensive projects, particularly in metallurgy and aerospace sectors.
The SEZ aims to become a key titanium production cluster in Russia, covering the entire value chain—from raw material processing to advanced manufacturing of titanium products for aerospace, defense, and medical industries. Plans involve integrating advanced manufacturing technologies, including additive manufacturing (3D printing) of titanium components, to enhance competitiveness.
The development plan includes gradual expansion of the SEZ territory and its infrastructure to accommodate new residents and increase production capacity. The federal and regional authorities continue to provide tax incentives, regulatory support, and funding to accelerate growth and attract both domestic and foreign investors.
A new SEZ named "Titanovaya Dolina" is set to launch in Alapayevsk in the fall of 2025, with the third phase of the zone being created in Patrushevo, Syssertsky district.
