The Urals is one of Russia’s most favorable regions for investment. The Sverdlovsk Region is rich in natural resources and has strong, diversified manufacturing and industrial sectors, great intellectual potential and a skilled labor force.

12% of Russia's iron and steel industry is concentrated in Sverdlovsk Region. Iron and copper are mined and processed here, the logging industry and wood-processing too.

Yekaterinburg is a prominent road, rail and air hub in the Urals. It is an important railway junction on the Trans-Siberian Railway, with lines reaching all parts of the Ural Mountains and the rest of Russia.

The region’s stable economic growth is making it increasingly attractive for many Russian and foreign investors.

In line with Russia’s efforts to increase foreign investment, a number of special economic zones (SEZ) have been established across the country over the last several years. In 2010, the Russian Government established an industrial SEZ in the Sverdlovsk Region, which should help bolster the national and regional economy by providing favorable tax, administrative and business conditions for potential investors in industrial production projects.

Investment policy and opportunities available in the Sverdlovsk Region is intended to serve as an aid to investors looking to expand their operations in the heart of Russia.
