Certainly, in these directions our Swedish partners have gathered the experience which will be very useful to the Ulyanovsk region. We are very interested in promotion of our cooperation with the Kingdom of Sweden. And first of all, of course, in localization of the Swedish companies in our region. Including the largest investors, who have plans for development and localization in Russia”, ─ emphasized Sergey Morozov, the Governor of the Ulyanovsk region.
According to the Head of the region, among the most promising directions – technological cooperation in household waste processing, as well as the introduction of modern, “smart” and energy-efficient technologies for improvement of quality of human living.
“In Sweden there is very good example of the plant constructed based on the former coal-fired power plant. It enables to utilize solid municipal waste, to generate thermal and electric power. At that a very high level of environmental safety is observed, and all combustion products are processed in its construction operations. There is an arrangement on readiness for cooperation signed with this company”, ─ reported Alexander Katasov, Russian Sales representative in Sweden.
