The producers of construction materials and technologies in the Republic of Dagestan have the potential to unite into a single cluster, Nizam Khalilov, the regional Minister of Industry and Trade says. The top official acknowledges that the region has a competitive production of building materials such as dry building mixtures and gas blocks. These products can be integrated into a unified cluster, Khalilov believes.
The establishment of a cluster would enable the industry to qualify for additional government support measures. Khalilov noted that three industrial clusters had already been established in Dagestan: the glass, footwear and wool processing clusters. The glass cluster currently includes 11 enterprises and three joint projects are underway to establish import-substituting production facilities and attract investments amounting to RUB 3.8 billion.
The industrial cluster known as the "City of Shoemakers" comprises a total of 12 enterprises, all of which manufacture footwear products in the Republic. These enterprises are actively involved in four joint projects aimed at creating production facilities for the development of import-substituting goods, with a total investment of RUB 415 million.
Within the framework of the wool cluster, eight enterprises collaborate in four joint projects, with an aggregate investment of RUB 343.6 million, resulting in the creation of a total of 147 new jobs.
