SEZ “Innopolis” (Russian: Иннополис) is a high tech innovation hub located in the city of Innopolis in the Republic of Tatarstan. The Innopolis zone also bears the designation of a special economic zone (SEZ). On November 1, 2012 the Government of the Russian Federation issued a decree creating special territories to attract investment and develop the IT-industry in the region. A special economic zone provides its residents and partners with tax and customs benefits, insurance premiums, rental incentives and a number of other preferences.[1]

The SEZ is located in the Verkhneuslonsky and Laishevsky municipal districts and occupies a total area of 311 hectares. As of 2020, 109 companies were residents of the Innopolis SEZ, with 26 of them participating as partners, and another 50 as startups. These companies have provided jobs for 3.8 thousand people and invested about 27 billion rubles into the economy of Tatarstan.[2][3]
