On Friday, July 4, the Minister of Industry and Trade of Russia Anton Alikhanov visited the Engineering Center of Fire Robotics "FER". The visit to the enterprise took place as part of the Minister's working trip to the Republic of Karelia and was the first in the list of visits to industrial enterprises in Karelia.
During the excursion, the delegation headed by the Minister and Head of the Republic of Karelia Artur Parfenchikov and members of the Government of the Republic of Karelia were introduced to the production facilities of the plant with a description of the main stages of product manufacturing, the capabilities of fire robots to extinguish and detect fires were clearly demonstrated, and possible support measures were discussed.
Anton Alikhanov emphasized the importance of the fact that the enterprise has its own technological and software base, especially when the country has taken a course on import substitution for economic development.
It should be noted that in 2024, the Engineering Center "FER" received a state subsidy from the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia to finance the costs of research and development work on a list of modern technologies. Another support measure is a preferential investment loan from the Industrial Development Fund of the Republic of Karelia for the modernization of the 3rd stage of the Fire Robot Plant.
