The MMMK explained that the application of the Spanish Roman Fernandes oncology clinic, the construction of which will be funded by its future operator, the European Medical Center (EMC), was approved by the Medical Cluster advisory board and that the supervisory board review is expected.
"For Moscow, the International Medical Cluster is an important project. In addition to the fact that Muscovites are serviced by the world’s leading medical clinics, it offers all the necessary conditions for personnel training and retraining, as well as the further transfer of technologies to the Moscow clinics," Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said.
A new research and production cluster will be created in the Tolstopaltsevo village in the west of Moscow. It will be launched in an existing production facility. The three-story building with an area of 12,600 sq. m is only 50% completed.
The investor purchased the facility at an auction and plans to use it for the biotechnology business.

The building was designed for the research and production of plant, food and technical potatoes. Some greenhouses are designed to be located in the middle of the building; 20 of them are to be build on the roof. The building is already connected to electricity (the distribution network partially completed), central heating and hot water supply.

Moscow will be able to invest more than RUR 2 tn in own development due to tax deductions from the state enterprises and private businesses operating in the city. The city plans to invest more than 3 bn RUR in the federal budget, according to Mayor of Moscow Sergei Sobyanin.
"The latest data from the tax service show that this year the taxes paid to the city are growing at a rate of about 10%," the Mayor said.
This figure is associated with the active entrepreneurship development and the support measures the capital provides to the urban industries. According to Sergei Sobyanin, this is also the effect of the high-tech enterprises systemic support, modern high-paying jobs being created and the refusal to move production out of the city.
"We invest a lot of resources in the city infrastructure development, including the construction of roads, metro stations, railway lines and social facilities. We can see that businesses are actively responding with investments. During several months, the growth of investments in fixed assets reached about 5%," Sergei Sobyanin noted.
According to the Federal State Statistics Service, during the first two quarters of this year, the profits have grown by 22.7% for IT companies, and 19.1% for applied research and development enterprises.
The profitability of the Moscow high-tech companies, a third of which are exporting, has largely increased due to their growing success in international markets. After the first 6 months of the current year, the capital accounts for almost 16% of all the national non-resource and non-energy exports. The key consumers of the Moscow export goods and services in this field are the USA, India, Belarus, Algeria and Kazakhstan. The cumulative share of those made about 40% in the first half of the year.
"In the first half of the year, the Moscow information technology exports increased by 24.8%, and R&D exports grew by 19.7%, which is RUR 6.2 bn and RUR 5.1 bn, respectively," Vice-Mayor of Moscow for Economic Policy and Property-Land Relations Vladimir Yefimov said.
The Kalibr Technopark received a priority investment project status. This status will reduce the land tax, property tax and income tax down to 25%, which will allow Kalibr to use more funds for the reconstruction of existing production facilities and the construction of a new building.
Private investments in the technopark development might exceed RUR 2.8 bn by 2022. This will allow to open a new building with an area of 37,000 sq. m. Thanks to the benefits and investments, the number of the technopark residents may grow threefold and reach 100, with 3,000 jobs.
Kalibr is located in the Ostankino district. The building occupies 10 hectares, with the technopark total area of 13 hectares. The technopark specializes in communications, telecommunications, instrumentation, information and multimedia technologies R&D. Also, the residents are developing unmanned vehicles and 3D-printing projects.
"The land plot value initially made RUR 142 m in 2016. The object could not be sold during previous auctions. Experts reassessed the asset. The winning investor will have the opportunity to implement a major development project within the future transfer hub at a reduced price of 99 m RUR. However, the cost reduction may lead to competition, and the final cost may increase," Head of the Moscow Department for Competition Policy Gennady Dyogtev stated.
The land plot for the future hub has an area of 4.1 hectares. Within this territory, it is planned to build a multifunctional complex with an area of 63,500 sq. m and a transfer hub terminal with an area of 7,390 sq. m, the ownership of which should be transferred by the investor to the city after the construction completion. The validity period of the land lease agreement is 7 years.
The developer will be selected at the public auction scheduled for July 18, 2018. Applications can be filed until October 15.
The object is located in line 1 at Bratislavskaya street, 30. The lot is 20 minutes away from the Bratislavskaya metro station.
