Urals
Sverdlovsk Region (Yekaterinburg)
Industrial concentration four times the Russian average - and almost a quarter of the country's steel pipes.
The Sverdlovsk Region, with its capital Yekaterinburg, is the heart of the Urals industrial belt: ferrous and non-ferrous metallurgy, heavy machinery, chemicals and pharmaceuticals. The Titanium Valley SEZ and three priority development territories offer incentive regimes. Yekaterinburg itself is one of Russia's largest business and exhibition centres, the host of the Innoprom industrial fair.
