Rustam Minnikhanov visits largest industrial park in Dubai DuBiotech

On May 1 during the working trip to United Arab Emirates Tatarstan President Rustam Minnikhanov visited largest industrial park in Dubai - DuBiotech.
Dubai Biotechnology and Research Park is the world’s first special economic zone in the sphere of biomedicine. TECOM Investments is the managing company and the investor.

There are 95 residents on its territory, among which are Pfizer, Amgen, Merck Serono, Genzyme, Bristol-Myers, Squibb Firmenich. Main activities of the companies are research, manufacturing of high-tech produce, equipment analysis and testing, sales and marketing, presentation of medical equipment, packing services and logistics.

DuBiotech cooperates with Frankfurt Biotechnology Innovation Centre and Swiss Biotech Association.

Rustam Minnikhanov got familiar with DuBiotech infrastructure. DuBiotech is a good example of how a free economic zone became one of the world’s best within seven years, he said.

Such success was achieved due to special features of UAE legislation which provides favourable conditions for attraction of foreign capital and a developed infrastructure.

Tatarstan should adopt experience of DuBiotech complex, Rustam Minnikhanov said.
