Industrial parks and clusters
Clusters
The cluster approach occupies the key place in the economic strategy of the region. There are three rapidly growing clusters in Kaluga Region: automotive, pharmaceutical and transport\logistics. Actually those clusters are the main drivers of regional development, extensively financed by domestic and foreign capital. "Traditional" Kaluga enterprises are successfully integrating into production chains. Specialized training centers are being opened, scientific organizations are developing, and the competitiveness of enterprises within clusters is increasing.
There are 3 key investors, original equipment manufacturers (OEM), within our automotive cluster: Volkswagen, PSA Peugeot Citroën & Mitsubishi Motors and Volvo Trucks. Attracted by the investment climate 22 auto component suppliers have set up their production facilities in the region, among which there are Magna, Continental, Faurecia, Visteon, Gestamp-Severstal and others.
A high-tech pharmaceutical cluster is undergoing rapid development. Pharmaceutical industry will be able to ensure sustainable economic development due to emerging innovative companies producing highly value-added goods. Core businesses in pharmaceutical cluster are enterprises that generate new ideas and implement new technologies. The largest pharmaceutical companies have already become the region’s business partners: Hemofarm/GK Stada, Berlin-Chemie/Menarini, Novo-Nordisk, Nearmedic-Plus, Astra-Zeneca and others.
Transport\logistics cluster has high potential for development. That is due to the availability of a well-developed transport infrastructure in the region and close proximity to Moscow metropolitan area, established links with foreign countries and high productivity level achieved by regional enterprises.
Kaluga Region does not focus on the development of one or two industries. The regional government equally supports the production of construction materials, forest industry, tourism development, food industry. A lot of successful projects have been implemented in those areas.
Industrial parks

These are fully prepared land plots with clearly defined legal rights and well-developed infrastructure and communications, ready for setting up manufacturing facilities. Experience has shown that this business product allows to create new enterprises within the shortest time possible, it is fully understood and therefore in demand among investors. The majority of our investors – already 70 companies – have set up their production facilities in industrial parks.
Today nine industrial parks are developed in the region. All projects are successful and the largest of them are Vorsino, Grabtsevo, Rosva and Kaluga-South.
