Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin told journalists he has urged large Russian companies and regions to contribute to a catalogue of goods for the Arctic. Referring to a meeting of the State Commission for Arctic Development, Rogozin said that a similar catalogue has been prepared in the Siberian Federal District.

"The representative office of the Siberian Federal District has prepared a catalogue of products based on various technologies that can be used in the Arctic, including equipment manufacturing, food processing and other light industries, at the commission's request. The catalogue is titled Made in Siberia for the Arctic. I want all regions and all Russian corporations to prepare similar catalogues, which we will convert into a unified online database," Rogozin said.

"We will compile a comprehensive database of goods for the Arctic by mid-2017," he added.
