Russia’s second fastest-growing regional innovation economy in 2011 according to business monitor RBC Daily, is stepping up efforts to assert itself as one of the country’s most business-friendly ecosystems.
Less than three years after the regional capital city of Kazan opened IT Park, reportedly eastern Europe’s biggest techno-park, plans are now being laid for a second park, this one to be launched in Tatarstan’s second largest city, Naberezhnye Chelny, on August 30, 2012.
Chelny’s IT park will reportedly focus on developing software and manufacturing hardware components. It is expected to create 1,500 new local jobs.
