The innovative activity of the Pro-Tok company, which participates in the Our Champions project, is supported by the SME Corporation within the framework of the Russian Government's project "Take-off — from startup to IPO".
Specialists of the Yenisei Siberia Development Corporation provided information support to the company, as well as assistance in negotiations with the regional director of SME Bank.
"The Expert Council of the SME Corporation Pro-Tok LLC has been awarded the status of gazelle, and the degree of innovative activity of the company has been determined as high. Based on this, the Pro-Tok company has attracted financing of 100 million rubles under the program of preferential lending to high–tech, innovative enterprises and plans further development and expansion," said Anna Zhiratkova, director of the Pro-Tok company.
It should be noted that under the terms of the program, a high-tech innovative company from among small and medium-sized enterprises can receive a preferential loan. The volume of its revenue for the last calendar year should not be less than 100 million rubles, and the cumulative average annual revenue growth rate over the past 3 years should be at least 12%. At the same time, borrowers are required to have patents (except for trademarks) and not to belong to groups of companies with annual revenue or income over 2 billion rubles.
Pro-Tok is a plant of transformer substations and high–voltage cells. The company has been working in the field of innovation for several years. During this time, it was possible to develop a technology that allows the equipment to operate smoothly at extreme temperatures.
Since March 2022, Pro-Tok has been participating in the Our Champions project, which is being implemented by the Yenisei Siberia Development Corporation on the initiative of the Governor of the Krasnoyarsk Territory. The purpose of the project is to search for promising regional companies, to support them in obtaining federal and regional support measures and to assist in cooperation with large businesses, including with participants of the Yeniseiskaya Sibir KIP. As a result of the project, companies have the opportunity to reach a new level by increasing production volumes and opening new markets.
