2021: Plan for the construction of a research and production complex

On November 25, 2021, JSC InfoTeCS"" announced TAdviser that it Tomsk special economic zone (SEZ) "Tomsk" plans to build its own scientifically production complex on the basis of its separate division in JSC ProKwanT in the status of a resident in 2021. The area of ​ ​ the complex will be 8000 square meters. m., it will be intended for the organization of experimental and small-scale production of software and hardware systems (PAC), information protection primarily - complexes. quantum key distribution investments Primary, the amount of which is not disclosed, will be directed construction to the complex itself and the purchase of technological equipment.

InfoTeCS will build a complex for the production of quantum cryptographic systems in Tomsk

The implementation of this project will allow the company to concentrate on its own material base key competencies in the field of development and testing of hardware, which will facilitate the transition to the development of hardware platforms based on the domestic element base in-house and minimize dependence on contract orders.

According to Andrei Chapchaev, CEO of InfoTeCS, in 2019 the company opened an experimental production facility in Tomsk. As of November 2021, it is 100% loaded, in connection with which it was decided to invest in the construction of this pilot production site.

The project will allow us not only to increase the volume of PACS production, but also to allocate the capacity for experimental production necessary for the development of our products, including quantum cryptographic systems, which are the future. top manager convinced.

As Andrei Chapchaev specified, Tomsk was not chosen by chance. Firstly, there is a large development team here, and secondly, the company has long and fruitfully collaborated with Tomsk State University of Control Systems and Radio Electronics, together with which it implements internship programs for university students, who later often continue to build a professional career at InfoTeCS.

Solving the personnel issue is an urgent problem for any IT company, so we are ready to invest forces and funds for the growth and development of young specialists, investing, including in the creation of new jobs, added the general director of InfoTeCS.

Infrastructure readiness is the most important preference for attracting projects to the SEZ, says Konstantin Kaminsky, general director of the Tomsk SEZ management company.

We see sharply increased interest in land plots from potential residents. And this is the main competitive quality of the Tomsk SEZ: after all, if it is generally not difficult to rent an office in the city (although its quality, neighbors, rental rates, etc., can be unpredictable), then it is possible to get land plots with a clearly indicated purpose and understandable procedures for allocating and subsequent registration in ownership only in a special economic zone. told the head of the UK SEZ "Tomsk."

Konstantin Kaminsky also noted that the Tomsk SEZ Management Company is working with a pool of companies that plan to start construction, while completing the creation of engineering infrastructure. So, in 2021, Biolit and ProKwanT announced plans to build facilities at the southern SEZ site, and three more projects were in operation.
