By 2030, ICS Holding plans to launch two semiconductor projects in Primorsky Krai – the company will invest more than 35 billion rubles. Enters the production of microcircuits and other products. The choice of the region appears to be a success due to favorable economic conditions and proximity to China.

ICS Holding plans to produce microwave components and photoelectric converters in the Far East. By 2030, two projects will be operational – annual production capacity will reach 5 million microcircuits and 500,000 photoelectric converters. According to reports, these products will be used in telecommunications and aerospace equipment of Yadro and Bureau 1440 subsidiaries.”to merchants» Alexey Shelobkov, Head of the Holding Company.
The microwave component category includes diodes, transistors, and other semiconductor devices and microcircuits used for data processing, signal transmission, and other purposes. Photoelectric converters operate in power systems for spacecraft, sensors, and portable devices. These companies will produce semiconductors based on gallium arsenide and gallium nitride – projects that will lay the foundation for a national cluster.
In 2021, Yadro plans to invest 6 billion rubles. Producing processors based on the open RISC-V architecture and entering 12nm process technology; experts say that by 2028 to 2031, the company hopes to create its own chips for domestic base stations – with the same funding by 2030, an investment ratio of less than 3% of revenue seems to be a realistic strategy. According to data from the Russian Electronics Developers and Manufacturers Association, as of the end of 2025, the size of the Russian contract manufacturing market fell by 9.4% to 30.46 billion rubles; according to estimates from the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the total volume of the Russian radio electronics market is 3-4 trillion rubles.
The designated investment amount is 35 billion rubles. That seems reasonable, experts say. Semiconductor production requires significant costs in engineering infrastructure, clean rooms, technical equipment, measurement and metrology facilities, and materials and capabilities. The Far East seemed a logical choice for such a project: wages here are lower than in the capital, and the proximity of China, a global hub for materials and parts, would help save on logistics. Disadvantages include seismic activity, humid climate, and distance from Russian customers.
