Lipetsk Special Economic Zone Development
the modernisation of already existing companies and the creation of new companies
to supply Indesit Company with the necessary pieces for the production process.
This project was necessary because most Russian companies which could be potential
suppliers were all located near Lipetsk and their characteristics were not the best
ones.
The outlook was based on a volume of investments of 42 million Euros in 2004 and
2005 by the companies supplying Indesit Company. This project has been
characterised by cooperation among Indesit Company, local authorities and potential
investors.
In the area around Lipetsk, which is among the first five regions in the Russian
Federation in terms of economic development thanks to 180 companies working
mainly in the fields of metallurgy, mechanics, electronics, chemistry and building, the
Marche Region has decided to join the initiative carried out by Indesit Company by
supporting an internationalisation project for the mechanical district from Marche.
5.A very important chance that must not be overlooked:
contributing to outline a compatible development policy for
the local communities
Among the most important activities being the core of the partnership, besides the
industrial development, we can highlight those related to research and university
teaching, culture, arts, sport, logistics, and the management of airport services.
As regards this partnership, the Marche Region has highlighted the importance to
develop social cohesion which is a fundamental and unavoidable factor to outline a
real development project for a mechanical district that is based on the peculiar model
of Marche. This model has needed some decade to grow and can not be implemented
in a very different context with a simplified model, based on some elements.
In Lipetsk in 2002 the Marche Region and the Lipetsk Region signed a Protocol of
Purposes that foresaw a three-year collaboration that could be renewed in the
following sectors:
• The industrial sectors of mechanics and electromechanics, agricultural
machines, furniture, wood, plastic materials, textile and clothing
• Integrated logistic systems
• Agricultural production and the processing of agricultural products
⚫ tourism, agritourism, connection infrastructures for sport and leisure activities
cooperation in the field of university education, research, culture and the arts
