The investor of the project is BetaMed. Alexey Stepanov, CEO of the company, said that the completion of construction and the launch of production are scheduled for the first quarter of 2026. According to him, it is during this period that it is planned to submit the first production samples.

The design capacity of the new plant is impressive: in the first year of operation, the company intends to produce about 160 thousand units of specialized products. The implementation of the project also involves the creation of more than 80 new jobs, which will have a positive effect on employment in the region.

This idea was supported by the governor of the Pskov region Mikhail Vedernikov.

The project for the production of medical devices has passed several stages of approval. Prior to approval by the expert council of the Moglino SEZ, it was approved by the supervisory council of the special economic zone.^[1]
