A meeting of the Public Council of the Ministry of Investment and Industry of the Jaroslava Region was held today in Yaroslav. The following topics were raised at the meeting:

- Creating a favourable investment climate in the Yaroslav region;
- The situation with regard to combating illicit trafficking in industrial products within the region.

One of the main issues of the meeting was the analysis of the investment portal of the Yaroslav region launched in April 2024. The portal was a unique tool that gathered all the information needed for investors.

To date, the portal has more than 350 free spaces for investment projects, as well as bidding data. Suitable navigation and filtering by criteria enable users to quickly find suitable business options.

The portal also provides access to information on vacancies and services that can be useful to both local businesses and newly arrived investors.

Over six months, more than 90,000 people visited the portal, of whom 25,000 became unique users. Given the high level of attendance, the Ministry continues to maintain the relevance of the information posted and to improve the portal ' s operations according to user needs.

The second important issue of the meeting was the Commission ' s work to combat illicit trafficking in industrial products in the Yaroslav region. This provides consumer safety and protects the market from counterfeit products.

Since 2015, a commission has been operating in the region to coordinate the work of various federal and regional authorities. Its mission is to interact between supervisory authorities, law enforcement agencies and civil society organizations.

An important part of the Commission ' s work is the conduct of awareness-raising campaigns to raise citizens ' awareness of the labelling of products through the mobile " Fair " application. This system enables the authentication of the goods by means of the code on the package Data Matrix.

According to the commission ' s findings, the Jaroslava region ranked first in 2023 and 2024 in the number of downloads of the " Fourth sign " application, indicating that the population was very involved in the counter-factor control process.

The meeting of the Public Council of the Ministry of Investment and Industry of the Jaroslava Region promotes effective interaction between authorities, businesses and education. This improves the economic situation and sustains the growth of the region ' s industry.
