The capital's economy is primarily concentrated in the service sector—banking, trade, IT, and other modern industries. At the same time, large industrial enterprises have survived and thrived in the city.
The headquarters of almost all major Russian companies are located here, including leaders in the energy and banking sectors. The capital is home to Russia's leading IT companies, employing tens of thousands of specialists.
These businesses are setting the pace for the development of digital technologies across the country. The concentration of financial, managerial, and technological resources makes Moscow a truly economic engine for Russia. The city not only provides jobs for millions of people but also largely determines the economic development of the entire country.
Key enterprises in Moscow's industrial complex include machine-building plants (Vperyod,
Moslift), chemical plants (
Moscow Oil Refinery,
Moscow Pharmaceutical Plant, etc.), and the food industry (Lianozovsky Dairy Plant,
Moscow Processed Cheese Factory "Karat", etc.). The special economic zones "
Technopolis Moscow" and "Zelenograd" facilitate the development of innovative industries.
