What was discussed at the meeting

Rusnano has implemented more than 80% of projects in four years and has focused its work on five areas: low-tonnage chemistry, energy engineering, ecology, logistics and safety, said Sergey Kulikov. Vladimir Putin praised the group's success in overcoming the crisis. "I understand that the financial condition of the company has changed for the better, and the recovery is almost complete," the Russian leader noted.

In the field of low-tonnage and medium-tonnage chemicals, Rusnano works together with Gazprom Neft. It is already planned to produce more than a hundred products at five plants. A site was chosen for them — in the Urals. According to Kulikov's estimates, the project portfolio is expected to amount to 200 billion rubles. In the field of power engineering, Rusnano has mastered the technology of spraying and manufacturing components. One of the nanocenters in Ulyanovsk was repurposed for this, with investments amounting to 25 billion rubles.

Rusnano and Norilsk Nickel will launch a project on sodium-ion batteries, Sergey Kulikov said. Such batteries have similar energy characteristics to lithium-ion batteries, but they are cheaper, more durable, frost-resistant and charge faster.

A successful way out of the crisis allows us to implement projects. The company has developed a mechanism for early closing of the remaining debt on bonds, according to the materials for the meeting. It is noted that the volume of income from the company's investment portfolio over the past five years has exceeded 80 billion rubles, which is more than 80% of the income received from 2008 to 2020. Recall that in October 2023, Rusnano Corporation announced that it was unable to fulfill its obligations to creditors at its own expense and stated that it meets the criteria of insolvency under the bankruptcy law. Presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov noted that the corporation, which "coped with the diseases of the past," is confidently getting back on its feet.
