In Tashkent, under the strategic partnership of Gazprombank, the International Exhibition “INNOPROM. Central Asia". This time the exhibition was visited by more than 10 thousand people, and 457 companies were represented as exhibitors. In addition to an extensive exposition, the event also included a rich business program that brought together speeches by representatives of state authorities, the business community and professional associations from Russia, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Belarus and other countries. INNOPROM reaffirmed its status as an effective platform for the exchange of experience and opinions, the establishment of new partnerships, as well as the development of fresh ideas in the field of regulation of industrial activity, the creation of special economic zones, etc.
Thus, Alexander Ushkov, First Vice President of Gazprombank, who became a speaker at the round table "Industrial zones and technoparks", spoke about the Bank's experience in financing a technopolis "Khimgrad" in Kazan. The bank entered the project in 2011. Focused on small and medium-sized businesses, as well as technology start-ups, the cluster consists of a production and warehouse and administrative and business complexes. Thus, residents get the opportunity to save on the necessary infrastructure, receive tax benefits and interact productively with each other. The project at one time was included in the state program for the creation of technoparks in the country in the IT sector.
« The experience of the team from Tatarstan was successfully replicated in the creation of two key technology parks in Uzbekistan – "Chirchik" and «Jizzakh». The first was opened last year and is intended for chemical, energy and machine-building enterprises with roots in Russia. Second – was launched literally on the eve of INNOPROM and has a focus on localizing the production of foreign companies. I am sure that both of these formats will take root and will be able to become a strong base for creating effective new industries in the country, – summed up Alexander Ushkov, First Vice President of the Bank.
“Today, in addition to traditional loan products, such as project financing, leasing, and factoring, Gazprombank has implemented a whole range of services and solutions, allowing companies in the oil and gas industry and other basic sectors of the economy to effectively manage investment projects, maintaining a high level of technological development, – noted during his speech at the special session "International technological partnerships in the fuel and energy complex (FEC)" Executive Vice President – Oleg Melnikov, Head of the Department for Banking Contract Support of the Bank. – In this regard, banking support for contracts – a very popular product. This mechanism of control over the intended use of funds has become a corporate standard in many leading companies in the fuel and energy sector. The development of digital services and solutions allows us to export contract banking technology to other countries. We plan to further develop this area, including on the territory of the Republic of Uzbekistan, together with local partner banks.
In addition, participants in various business events of INNOPROMA Anna Grunenko, Head of the Cross-border Support Department of the Department of Banking Contract Support, and Tamara Kobaladze, General Director of the Management Company UZKhM, became the head of the Cross-Border Support Department of the Department of Banking Support of Contracts.
