ULA together with the Ministry of Economy and Territorial Development of the Sverdlovsk region held an expert session on INNOPROM "Dry port of Yekaterinburg: from north to south". This is a strategically important project not only for the Sverdlovsk region, but also for the whole of Russia, because its main task is to make the Ural region a "gateway" to the East. The "Dry Port of Yekaterinburg" will expand international trade, increase the efficiency of transportation and logistics services and reduce their cost, meet the needs of various regions in terms of access to sea borders.
