According to Anton Arbuzov, CEO of Komsomolsk-on-Amur Investment and Development Agency, they are using the best achievements of Russian municipalities in interacting with investors, in particular, those of the city of Cherepovets.

Working with an investor bases on a single-window principle, which means that an applicant submits a set of documents in one place, after which the agency takes care of all the execution and approval procedures.

The Agency creates a favorable environment for investment. It coordinates active interaction between the government and business and development institutions. It also promotes the city's investment potential.
