OREANDA-NEWS. Sberbank acted as the general partner of the sixth international investment forum Industrial Projects in Russia 2015, which took place on July 2-3, 2015 in Moscow.

The forum was held with support from the Russian Ministry of Economic Development and the Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade. The event is organised by the Industrial Park Association, the leading industry organisation that brings together the key players in the field of industrial parks and industrial construction.

Sberbank organised the forum's plenary discussion "New Sources of Investment for Creating Industrial Parks".

Sberbank has developed a special loan product called Industrial Park as a part of its New Industrialisation programme. Loans are provided for 12-14 years to companies that manage industrial parks, special economic zones and technology parks so that they can build infrastructure and real estate. Since launching the programme Sberbank has financed 12 projects to a total of over 11 billion roubles.

The New Industrialisation programme includes financing for infrastructure and the residents of industrial parks and technoparks - mainly representatives of large and medium-sized business - and also provides a set of non-financial services for members of industrial clusters. The programme aims to support the growth of economic potential and bolster the investment appeal of Russia's regions.
