Russian manufacturers of advanced wheelchairs have received government support. Significant changes are expected in the industry aimed at stimulating the development of specialized Russian enterprises.
According to Vyacheslav Volodin, the Chairman of the State Duma, even though Russian companies in this sector produce high-quality goods, they are facing a significant lack of competitiveness. Their early stage of development is the main reason behind their lack of a firm foothold in the market. Competitors frequently engage in dumping tactics to sabotage these businesses in their early stages, as he emphasized.
The problem can be resolved by modifying the legislation, specifically the public procurement procedure. “It is imperative that we revise the legislation in order to foster the growth of our own industry, particularly in innovations” Volodin said.
