On June 3 during the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum 2021, Government of the Moscow region and NPO Petrovax Pharm LLC took part in a signing ceremony of a new cooperation agreement.
The new partnership is aimed at increasing the investment attractiveness and competitiveness of the Moscow region, by creating new jobs, increasing tax revenues and creating a more favorable environment for business activity, etc.
Mikhail Tsyferov, President of Petrovax, says:
This agreement is a logical continuation of our successful long-term cooperation with the Government of the Moscow region. We have already been implementing investment projects on its territory, and today we undertake obligations to even further develop economic attractiveness and the general welfare of the region. By 2025, we plan to invest 11.6 billion rubles in pharmaceutical production, creating around 400 new jobs.
The project consists of expanding the high-tech biopharmaceutical capacities of Petrovax in the Moscow region to the production of socially significant medicine and vaccines. The implementation will be organized to two stages: the first stage, planned to be completed this year, will see a construction of a fourth production line. The potential product for the new line will be vaccine for the prevention of coronavirus infection. The second stage will comprise the construction of a full production cycle biotechnological facility capable of synthesis, creation of genetically engineered medicine and recombinant vaccines. The latter stage will be implemented in 2025.
