Investment Passport Dear investors! Welcome to our hospitable region! Attracting investment in the economy is the most important task for ensuring economic growth and sustainable development of the territory. Kuzbass is known as the largest coal and metallurgical region of Russia, as well as one of the supporting industrial centers of the country. However, we are doing a lot to ensure that Kuzbass becomes not only a region of large coal and large metal, but also a region of developed agriculture, fascinating year-round tourism, science, culture. Our region has great potential and a set of competitive advantages for conducting economic activity. In Kuzbass, within the territory of four single-industry towns:Yurga, Anzhero-Sudzhensk, Novokuznetsk and Prokopyevsk, zones of priority development were created and began to operate. These zone's residents are provided with federal, regional, and local tax benefits. Favorable economic zone has also been created in the region - the tourist-recreational type "Mountain Shoria", which provides regional residents with tax benefits. The coal chemical, biomedical, agro-industrial and tourist-recreational clusters are actively developing. In order to create favorable conditions for doing business, attracting investments, forming the image of the region, accompanying and implementing investment projects, a specialized organization for attracting investments and working with investors has been created in Kuzbass - the state owed company "Investment Agency of Kuzbass". The Agency interacts with investors on a "on window" basis, being the main entry point for investors in Kuzbass. The Agency assists in the selection of investment sites, in obtaining measures of state support, through administrative procedures. The Agency provides all services at no charge. With the assistance of the agency, the Kuzbass Investors Club was created in 2016 - a platform for the exchange of information between entrepreneurs, investors and authorities. Ensuring a favorable investment climate and supporting projects are constant priorities of our investment policy. Kemerovo region is always glad to investors and business partners and will continue to create all the necessary conditions for the successful implementation of investment projects. Dear investors!
