A resident with a stake in Moscow Technopolis, a special economic zone, has initiated and begun manufacturing motherboards designed to support Russian-made processors, according to Vladislav Ovchinsky, head of the capital’s Department of Investment and Industrial Policy. The Moscow government’s portal cited this development as a notable milestone in the zone’s industrial activity.
Ovchinsky noted that the Technopolis Moscow SEZ resident currently produces more than 45 distinct device types each month, with a monthly output that can reach up to four thousand units. The company emphasizes product ownership and in-house development. As part of its ongoing R&D program, engineers completed a universal motherboard within 18 months that is suitable for multiple applications, including displays, touch panels, desktop all-in-ones, and televisions. This level of versatility positions the firm to meet a broad range of demand across consumer electronics and commercial displays.
Plans call for the company to manufacture roughly 30,000 units of the new motherboard next year for its own use, reflecting a strategic scale-up aimed at ensuring supply consistency and internal integration. Current production has kicked off in Zelenograd, marking a significant step in expanding localized fabrication capacity within the Moscow region.
Additional motherboard production is slated for the Pechatniki facility in 2024, with an anticipated annual output of about 30,000 units. Vladimir Krikushenko, the company’s general director, announced a pre-order for 20,000 devices and indicated that several further orders, potentially up to 50,000 units per year, are under review for approval, signaling growing demand from institutional buyers and enterprise customers.
In parallel with hardware expansion, the Ministry of Industry and Trade outlined plans to initiate processor production within Russia. The strategy envisions mastering mass production of microprocessors with a 28-nanometer topology by 2027, representing a substantial push toward domestic semiconductor capabilities and greater supply chain autonomy for critical electronics sectors.
Russia is also exploring the production of computers equipped with processors from Chinese partners. The Russian company Norsi-Trans announced intentions to manufacture servers, data storage systems, computers, and laptops built around Loongson processors, highlighting ongoing diversification in the country’s computing ecosystem and the potential for cross-border technology collaboration while expanding domestic manufacturing.
Earlier, Russian teams introduced the motherboard named “Yana,” designed for Intel processors, illustrating a continued effort to broaden compatibility across major processor families and to diversify the local hardware ecosystem for both public and private sector buyers.
