Russian developers of special equipment prepare to enter foreign markets Companies creating special and dual-use products must now prepare to compete for foreign markets after the completion of the AZ, the Center for Unmanned Systems and Technologies said. Among the promising regions they name Africa, Asia, Central and South America. To enter these markets, the industry needs long-term financing, more flexible government contracts and the ability to implement new developments more quickly. To support the projects, CBST and PSB have launched two funds with a total target volume of 17 billion rubles, aimed at early and late stage companies. Market participants also suggest increasing the attractiveness of projects of this type for private investors and reducing the timing of grants, since a prolonged financing approval may render the development irrelevant even before its launch.
