Germany, Russia cement ties with trade pactsFriday, 16 July 2010 03:10
YEKATERINBURG: Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and German Chancellor Angela Merkel yesterday oversaw the signing of multi-billion-euro deals to cement tight Moscow-Berlin links further. German engineering giant Siemens signed deals worth several billion euros for the supply of trains and wind turbines to Russia as the country embarks on a drive to modernize its outdated economy. Siemens also agreed to help the Kremlin in its efforts to establish a technology centre in Skolkovo just outside Moscow — the country’s answer to Silicon Valley — for which the government has earmarked 170bn rubles ($5.5bn). “These truly are serious, big agreements,” Medvedev told reporters after the talks with Merkel — their fifth meeting this year — in the Urals city of Yekaterinburg.“This is the evidence of a fundamental character of our strategic partnership.” Medvedev expressed hope that German companies would bring their expertise to the Skolkovo high-tech hub as he welcomed a decision by Siemens to build a research centre there. “This is a very encouraging example for us,” he said. Under a memorandum of understanding Siemens will modernise 22 Russian railway switching yards by 2026 and jointly with Russian Railways build 240 regional trains over the next 10 years. Siemens is also to install wind turbines with a total capacity of up to 1,250 megawatts in Russia by 2015, the company said in a statement. The deals have a total value of “several billion euros”, Siemens said, without giving further financial details. German government sources have reportedly said the railway deal alone is worth ¤2.2bn ($2.8bn). The German firm also inked a deal with state conglomerate Russian Technologies and utility company RusHydro. Russia’s VEB development bank and Germany’s KfW bank group for their part signed an agreement to support small and medium-sized businesses. Medvedev invited German businesspeople to invest in companies which had until recently been off limits to foreigners. “I expect that German companies will take part in the modernisation of companies they are interested in, also taking into account my decision to reduce the number of strategic enterprises,” Medvedev said. Last month, Medvedev announced he was cutting fivefold the number of firms deemed “strategic” and in which the state is obliged to own a stake, opening the way for broader participation of foreign companies in the economy. He also expressed hope that Russia’s “strategic partnership” with Germany would help Russian companies expand their footprint in the Western European market. While German investment in Russia amounted to around 20 billion dollars, Russian investment in Germany lagged behind. “There is a certain disproportion indeed,” Medvedev said. “Of course we would like to be more actively represented in the German economy. We have both a desire and money for it,” he added. Germany is Russia’s main economic partner and enjoys close diplomatic relations with Moscow. Medvedev this week told Russian diplomats that one of their top tasks was to help businesses forge economic alliances with the West and Germany in particular. “Germany should take a worthy place in the modernization alliances,” the Kremlin chief said on Thursday. Calling Medvedev “dear Dmitry,” Merkel for her part said Russia and Germany had achieved “a high level of understanding.” “I believe that the aim to diversify Russia’s economy, put it on a broader footing also meets the needs of our cooperation,” Merkel said, noting that 6,000 German companies were now active in Russia. ----- http://www.powergenworldwide.com/index/display/articledisplay/9290231590/articles/powergenworldwide/renewables/wind/2010/07/siemens-signs_wind.html Siemens signs wind turbine production agreement with Russia's Rostechnologii, RusHydro Published: Jul 15, 2010 15 July 2010 - Siemens has signed a partnership agreement for cooperation in the renewable energy sector with the two Russian companies Rostechnologii and RusHydro to produce wind turbine components.
The three companies will establish the joint venture “wind energy” where Siemens will retain the majority stake. The planned joint venture is to set up production facilities for wind turbine components for the Russian market and will also be responsible for sales and service of Siemens wind turbines in Russia and other countries. "This strategic partnership will put us out front on the highly-promising market for renewable energy in Russia", states René Umlauft, CEO of the Renewable Energy Division of Siemens. Russia is planning to have a wind power capacity of approximately 5000 megawatts installed by 2020. "In the coming five years we intend to install wind turbines with a total capacity of 250 to 500 MW per year."
With this joint venture in Russia, Siemens is pushing determinedly ahead with the regionalization of the manufacturing network on important markets. In the current year alone Siemens will bring three further factories for production of wind turbine components on line in the USA and in China. Other production facilities are planned for India and the UK. http://www.bmwi.de/English/Navigation/External-economic-policy/foreign-trade-campaign.html Retrieved 110303 12:04pm Foreign Trade and Investment Campaign On 23 March 2010, Federal Minister of Economics and Technology Rainer Brüderle unveiled the Economics Ministry's Foreign Trade and Investment Campaign.

Germany’s building materials manufacturer Xella is launching its first production unit in Russia. The company is investing €24 million in the production of its aero concrete on the premises of a concrete plant in the city of Mozhaisk near Moscow This is in response to skyrocketing demand and prices for building materials. Moscow is now the biggest real estate market in Europe. Construction has caused a shortage of raw materials supply such as cement. ------ http://rt.com/business/news/spur-russian-commercial-vehicles/ Daimler teams up with GAZ to spur Russian commercial vehicles Published: 23 December, 2010, 17:44 
TAGS: Retail, Regional development, Commodities, Russian economy, Infrastructure, Big deal Daimler has selected GAZ as its Russian partner and is planning to invest more than €100 million producing the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter in Nizhny Novgorod At an official presentation attended by Prime Minister Vladimir Putin in Nizhny Novgorod the German auto giant announced that it was teaming with Gaz, controlled by Oleg deripaska’s Basel group, in Russia. Daimler CEO, Dr. Dieter Zetsche, said the Russian van market offers great opportunities and emphasized that his company was looking at the longer term.
Depending on the outcome of a feasibility study the two companies plan to produce Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vans in Russia. Plans, supported by locally produced engines, transmissions, axles, and other components, which can be used Mercedes-Benz and GAZ product portfolio. Sprinter output will be roughly 60000 per year. Sales and servicing is planned via the existing Mercedes-Benz dealer network with support from certain GAZ dealers. AUTOSTAT analyst Azat Timerhanov said a tie up with GAZ was more logical than one with Kamaz with which Daimler also has close ties.
Daimler estimates that the LCV market in Russia is about 117,000 vehicles per year, and the company reckons that market will grow to 275,000 by 2020. Volker Mornhinweg, Head of Mercedes-Benz Vans, said the potential size of the Russian market was a key part of Daimler’s focus on the country. “For Mercedes-Benz Vans Russia remained an unexplored market. Our traditional markets are in Western Europe, Latin America, and North America. In Russia the market volume for midsized and large vans is about 117,000 units. By 2020 the market is expected to grow to approximately 275,000 units. That shows how important and right it is to be active in Russia. Together with GAZ we will put the optimal products for the Russian market on the road. To do this, Daimler will invest more than €100 million.” Siegfried Wolf, Chairman of the GAZ Board of Directors explained in his letter to Prime Minister Putin that this partnership is a milestone for the company with export benefits and optimization of output capacity “The partnership with Daimler enables GAZ Group to load capacity and to stabilize the financial and economic situation, as well as developing its own engineering competence by bringing innovative technology from western countries. This project has export potential and It falls within the Russian Government drive to increase the automotive industry’s share of the GDP. GAZ expects to create its own model on Daimler cars base in future” Bo Andersson, President of GAZ Group pointed out extra advantages of the partnership “The cooperation will see GAZ´s existing LCV production facilities upgraded with employees receiving new training. All this will help to improve the consumer characteristics and the reliability of GAZ´ own models. It is expected that around 25,000 Sprinter vans will roll off the assembly line in Russia in a typical year. As GAZ and Mercedes LCVs largely target different customer groups, both companies expect to be able successfully develop in their respective market segments in Russia”. -----
Germany and Russia Discuss Strategic Partnership in Microelectronics, Investments into Infineon, Qimonda. Authorities Confirm Talks Regarding Russian Investments into Infineon, Qimonda [08/14/2009 01:03 PM] by Anton Shilov The chancellor of Germany and the president of the Russian Federation on Friday confirmed discussions regarding potential strategic partnership in the field of microelectronics as well as possible investments into chipmaker Infineon AG and its daughter company Qimonda AG. No actual details have been revealed, but the claims confirm interests of Russia to invest into the European semiconductor giant. “We talked about strategic partnership in the field of electronics. The key-word here is Infineon and, possibly, Qimonda. […] [Such projects] provide chances for more intensive cooperation based on the win-win principles, when both parties succeed,” said Angela Merkel, the federal chancellor of Germany, during a press conference. Late on Thursday a Russian business daily reported that Sistema Financial Corp., a high-technology investment firm from Russia, is interested in acquiring a stake in Infineon. However, the report claimed that there were no direct discussions between Sistema and Infineon, but the negotiations were held at the highest political levels. Infineon badly needs money these days. Earlier this year it applied for state aid. Besides, Infineon owns 77.5% stake in Qimonda, the maker of dynamic random access memory that filed for insolvency early this year, which is being liquidated. Meanwhile, Russia-based companies need access to modern technologies and would be interested in acquiring a stake in high-tech companies. “Such ideas like investing into Infineon or Qimonda, or acquisition of Opel, those are high-tech fields, are exactly something that we need, something that will improve the structure of our economy and may provide protection during the future downturns,” said Dmitry Medvedev, the president of Russia, at the press conference. At this time no actual deals were announced, as a result it is hard to say whether Sistema or other high-tech financial institution is interested in buying a stake in Qimonda and at what terms.

http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=newsarchive&sid=af_UJ9VSrYzg Russia May Purchase Stake in Infineon, Sistema Says (Update1) By Maria Ermakova and Ragnhild Kjetland - September 17, 2009 07:08 EDT Sept. 17 (Bloomberg) -- Russia’s government is in talks with Germany to buy a stake in semiconductor maker Infineon Technologies AG, said AFK Sistema, billionaire Vladimir Yevtushenkov’s holding company. The Russian government plans to purchase a stake in Infineon, Sistema Chief Executive Officer Leonic Melamed said at a press conference in Moscow. “Sistema is being invited to participate in this project as an industry professional expert,” he said. Sistema doesn’t have plans to buy Infineon shares, said Anton Abugov, Sistema’s vice president for strategy and development. “If some options of a possible cooperation with the government are found, we may consider them,” he said. If Russia were to take a stake in Infineon, Europe’s second-largest maker of chips for cars, electronic devices and passports, it would add to other commercial ties between Germany and Russia. This year, German industrial giant Siemens AG quit a joint venture with French nuclear reactor builder Areva SA to design, build and operate nuclear plants with Russia’s state-run nuclear holding company Rosatom Corp. Another project is the Nord Stream pipeline connecting Germany and Russia via the Baltic Sea, due to start deliveries in 2011. That project is backed by Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin and chaired by former German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder. Cooperation Options A spokesman in German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s office referred questions to the Economy Ministry, which said it would look into the matter. “We are always in talks with companies all over the world about cooperation that might make sense, but there’s nothing concrete related to Sistema at the moment,” Infineon spokesman Kay Laudien said by phone from Munich today. “Everyone knows that there have been some talks on a political level.” The Kommersant newspaper had reported that Sistema wanted to buy a 20% stake for about 1 billion euros ($1.47 billion) and Russian state development bank VEB might finance the transaction. VEB spokeswoman Ekaterina Karasina declined to comment. In August, Infineon spokesman Laudien said he was aware of Russia’s interest in some form of cooperation. Rights Offer Sistema’s Abugov said Infineon approached Sistema in the spring this year, offering participation in a planned share issue. “Sistema rejected the proposal and passed the information over to the Russian government,” Abugov said. “We are consulting the government on a possible integration of Infineon’s services in Russia.” In August, Infineon completed a 725 million-euro, 2.15 euros-per-share rights offer. It was underwritten by Apollo Global Management LLC. After announcing the capital increase, the company’s traded shares rose to widen the discount on the stock to 25 percent on the last day of the offer, from an initial 6.8 percent discount. Infineon is spending the proceeds to pay off debt and invest in the business. Infineon fell 0.3 percent to 3.80 euros at 1:05 p.m in Frankfurt trading, giving the company a market value of 4.13 billion euros. -- With assistance from Claudia Rach in Berlin.

The Russian IT market is booming. Russia is set to become an attractive partner in Central and Eastern Europe owing to a growth rate of 25 to 30 percent, whilst it was selected to be a partner country of CeBIT, the greatest worldwide IT fair, in 2007. For this reason, in February of this year, the Karlsruhe Department of Economic Development, in association with BITKOM (German Association for Information Technology, Telecommunications and New Media), CLOE (Clusters linked over Europe), CyberForum Karlsruhe and RUSSOFT (Russian Software Developers Association), commissioned a study to ascertain the possibility and readiness for cooperation between both countries and, based on the findings of this study, develop a model approach which would pave the way for business contacts and support cross-border economic relations. The first positive results were already to be seen shortly after the conclusion of the study. Evgeni Deryugin, Business Development Manager of Auriga, came from Moscow to Karlsruhe and the Technology Region to begin exploratory talks with potential cooperation partners in Germany. Auriga has been in the market for 15 years as a development service for high-tech software, with particular focus on the areas of system software, embedded systems and real-time systems. In Moscow’s development centre as well as in locations in the USA and France, Auriga presently employ a workforce of 240. Globally active companies such as IBM, Hewlett-Packard, Siemens, Toshiba and Dräger Medical Systems rank as some of Auriga’s most prominent customers. The visit programme included exchanging information with member firms in the CyberForum and a discussion with the CAS chairman of the board, Martin Hubschneider, at the Karlsruhe Technology Park. ‘We have drawn the attention of Russian IT companies to Karlsruhe and the Technology Region with our initiative unique in Germany. The visitors immediately appreciated the existing networks CyberForum and CLOE as well as the international business strategy of our IT companies. The first reactions from Russia already show that Karlsruhe is taken seriously as a door to the German IT market’, illustrated Manfred Groh, Bürgermeister in charge of economic affairs, who is exceedingly satisfied with the outcome of the initiative, for besides Auriga, further companies from Russia have already expressed their interest in information talks. As a summary of the results, the director of the Department of Economic Development in Karlsruhe, Dr. Adolf Kopp, stated, ‘The study has proved that there is a large market potential in the IT domain which can be opened up through German-Russian cooperation – and that Karlsruhe is an excellent location for such transactions’. Ewgenij Deryugin was convinced that ‘the initiative from Karlsruhe came at the right time’. He further stated that ‘the IT market in Russia shows an enormous dynamism and there are many companies which are interested in a cooperation with Germany as a strategic partner in Europe. Karlsruhe has led the way and I’m impressed by the IT potential of this area.’ Identifying new prospects, Martin Hubschneider, managing director of the CyberForum and chairman of the board of CAS Software AG, stated, ‘The business start up platform 'CyberForum' supports firms in their activities in Eastern Europe opening up the potential of this continually expanding market. CAS Software, too, valued the approach and the exchange that will help us to find out the chances of cooperation which can ultimately benefit both parties.’ ‘The merit of this study is to direct the interest of German firms towards the possibility of becoming involved in the Russian IT market’, said Dr. Mathias Weber from BITKOM. ‘For this reason we have chosen Russia as partner country of BITKOM in 2007’. "Markets of information technology: Russia and Germany" - primary results of the project The study was commissioned in February 2006. It was based upon a survey among eleven Russian and ten German firms and institutions. Decision makers were asked to define the chances and risks of cooperation and to outline the necessary basic conditions and activities that they deem necessary to promote cross-border cooperation. The results can be summarized as follows:

http://www.kooperation-international.de/en/russland/themes/info/detail/data/44418/ German-Russian cooperation in laser technology successful Laser weld seam on the shell of the photochemical reactor, made using a Trumpf laser. Equipment for a water treatment plant in Russia has been built with the help of German laser technique. This is an example of the successful cooperation in a project between Germany and Russia. In Russia there are five Laser Innovation Technological Centers (LITC), which are supported by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). The idea behind the LITCs is based on a network of testing and consulting centers for laser technology, which was founded in Germany in 1996. Just like in Germany, the LITCs in Russia want to make their laser know-how available to a broad industrial spectrum. An example for the work in this project was given by the LITC Moscow. A company asked the center for help in constructing a photochemical reactor for water decontamination. Different parts of a reflective stainless steel had to be cut using a laser, and then welded together to form a reactor shell. Since the reactor works under a pressure of up to 6 ATM, the welding seams had to be hermetically sealed and maintain narrow tolerances. The laser technology for this project was exported from Germany to Moscow. The laser of the south German company Trumpf (Ditzingen) was connected to a processing head of the company Scansonic, based in Berlin. Both parts were then connected to a KUKA robot (Augsburg). Finally, using German technology, the engineers in Moscow could fabricate this complex piece to the satisfaction of the company. Ultimately, the project follows two main goals. On the one hand, the LITCs provide small and medium-sized businesses (SMB) in Russia with a sort of "jump start in laser technology." The expansion of laser manufacturing in Russia is being supported through consulting and testing. On the other hand, this project should help German laser technology to have a wider basis in Russia. The Laser Zentrum Hannover e.V. (LZH) carries out research and development in the field of laser technology and is supported by the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Labour and Transport of the State of Lower Saxony (Niedersächsisches Ministerium für Wirtschaft, Arbeit und Verkehr).

World of Lasers and Optics" from April 20th to 23rd, 2009 in Moscow. The five members of the expert network will present their services in the field of laser technology at a joint exhibition stand. The individual "Laser Innovation Technological Centers (LITC)" from Moscow, Yekaterinburg, Kaluga, Rostov and St. Petersburg are especially geared towards small and medium-sized enterprises (SME's). The idea behind the LITC is based on the network of laser testing and consulting centers, which was founded in Germany in 1996. Like in Germany, the Russian LITC aim at presenting their laser know-how to a wide industrial base, acting as a sort of "jump start" in laser technology for SME's. The five Russian centers will not only present the network at the Photonics fair in Moscow, but will also show uses of laser technology in industry, including samples that were manufactured in the course of the project. The project leader and stand organizer is the Laser Zentrum Hannover (LZH), who is bringing the expertise they gained in the project in Germany into the LITC. "If the Russian network is as successful as the German network was," says project head Klaus Nowitzki of the LZH, "there will soon be a boom in the industrial use of lasers in Russia." The network of Russian-German Laser Centers LITC, which is supported by the Germany Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), is located in Pavilion 3, Stand G 30. Contact:

http://www.kooperation-international.de/en/russland/themes/info/detail/data/51425/ Network of Russian-German Laser Centers Expands Two new Testing, Consulting and Training Centers for the industrial use of laser technology have opened in the regions Taganrog and Kaluga. The Network of Laser Innovative-Technogical Centers (LITC) now has expanded its activities to five centers in Russia. The goal of the centers for the industrial use of laser technology in Russia under the leadership of the Laser Zentrum Hannover e.V. (LZH) and the Bavarian Laser Center (BLZ) is to modernize manufacturing in Russia with the help of laser technology and know-how from Germany. Logo LZHAt the end of September, two new Testing, Consulting and Training Centers for the industrial use of laser technology opened in the regions Taganrog and Kaluga. The Network of Laser Innovative-Technogical Centers (LITC) now has expanded its activities to five centers in Russia. The goal of the centers for the industrial use of laser technology in Russia under the leadership of the Laser Zentrum Hannover e.V. (LZH) and the Bavarian Laser Center (BLZ) is to modernize manufacturing in Russia with the help of laser technology and know-how from Germany. German enterprises, in return, hope to have easier access to the market in these economically interesting regions of Russia. The five laser centers of the network use modern laser equipment from leading German companies like Trumpf, LIMO Lissotschenko, Rofin Sinar, Jenoptik or the Maschinenfabrik Arnold. Depending on the available equipment, each site has specialized in certain areas of laser technology, for example cutting and welding of metals, plastics or other non-metal materials, or on surface treatment. At the LITC's, especially the small and medium sized enterprises from the region, but also research institutes and universities have the possibility to use modern laser equipment to push process development and training and education, and to open new fields of application. Support in training and education for specialists in the fields of laser technology and laser safety are given by the staff of the German laser centers in Lower Saxony (LZH) or Bavaria (BLZ). The Southern Laser Innovative Technology Center (SLITC) in Taganrog is located near one of the important centers of the Russian aeronautic industry. Obninsk, on the other hand, site of the Kaluga Laser Innovative Technology Center, is well-known for its automotive industry. These two new innovation centers are joining the centers already established in Moscow, Saint Petersburg and Jekaterinburg. At the opening ceremonies in Taganrog and Obninsk, a number of representatives from regional companies, universities and organisations were present, along with German cooperation partners. Head of the Training and Education Group at the LZH, Markus Klemmt said, "The main advantage is in the networking. The consulting competencies and the training and education courses in the new centers will also be available for the whole network." By engaging local enterprises, for example the Beriev Aircraft Corp. und AviaOK International, the Southern Federal University, and the Laser Association Russia, and local government offices, the project initiators could form important cross-connections between industry, science and politics, even during the set-up phase. This regional networking plays an important role, not only for the successful establishment of laser technology in Russia, but also for the interregional cooperation between the five Russian-German laser centers. The "Testing, Consulting and Training Centers for Laser Technology in Russia" project is supported by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) in the framework of the programme "Optical Technologies". This project aims at furhtering scientific and technical cooperation between Russia and Germany. The project management is carried out by the VDI-Technologiezentrum GmbH.
