TASS/. The Russian government has expanded the list of technologies eligible for special investment contracts (SPICs), Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin said at an operational meeting with his deputies.

"SPICs are based on the development and implementation of serial production of products that are not yet manufactured in Russia. For this purpose, the government has expanded the list of such advanced technologies. We have additionally included 47 new items in it," said the head of the Russian government, specifying that among them are complexes for ultrasonic diagnostics, medical tomographs, laser gas analyzers, advanced bearing components, chemical reactors, and many other technological innovative solutions.

Mishustin reminded that thanks to such agreements, businesses receive corresponding guarantees from the state: during the implementation of the initiative, tax benefits and other preferences are maintained, which helps achieve investment payback and ensures attracting long-term financing.

"The measures taken will accelerate the development of scientific research and industry, increase the availability of effective tools and approaches for Russian companies and citizens, and overall will contribute to achieving the goal set by the President to strengthen Russia's technological and industrial sovereignty," Mishustin concluded.
