On February 28, the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia, together with the Russian Export Center (REC, VEB.RF Group), launched the acceptance of applications for reimbursement of expenses related to research and development (R&D) and design-engineering work, as well as product certification in accordance with the requirements of foreign markets.

Applications for participation in the competition and the necessary documents can be submitted electronically through the State Information System of Industry of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia GISP until 6:00 PM (Moscow time) on March 31, 2025.

Reimbursement will be provided based on the results of the competition. Within the framework of the program, support is provided for projects related to two main areas: conducting R&D to create new competitive products and certifying existing products to ensure they meet the requirements of importing countries outside the Russian Federation.

Both aspects contribute to the successful entry of Russian high-tech companies into international markets. Up to 50% of the costs incurred for conducting research and development and design-engineering work are eligible for reimbursement.
