Introduction: Why Industrial Parks Have Become a Key Development Instrument
Over recent years, industrial parks in Ukraine have evolved from a formal regional development tool into a full-scale investment platform for industrial business expansion. Amid war-related challenges, logistics restructuring, changing export routes, and a growing focus on domestic processing, the state has positioned industrial parks as one of the most effective mechanisms for attracting capital.
For investors, an industrial park is not merely a land plot. It is a structured investment environment combining infrastructure, legal clarity, incentives, and risk mitigation.
1. Current State of Industrial Parks in Ukraine
As of 2025, 118 industrial parks are officially registered across Ukraine. Some are in the preparation stage, others are actively attracting residents, while the most advanced already host operating industrial facilities.
Key results to date:
- 37 enterprises built or under construction;
- 22 plants already operational;
- over 3,700 jobs created;
- strong focus on processing industries, machinery manufacturing, food production, woodworking, and logistics.
These figures demonstrate not declarations, but realized investment projects.
2. Government Policy and Financial Support
A decisive factor behind the growth of industrial parks is proactive government policy under the “Made in Ukraine” initiative. In 2025:
- 13 industrial parks received state support;
- 22 infrastructure projects were implemented;
- total funding exceeded UAH 900 million.
State funding is allocated to:
- electricity, gas, and water connections;
- road and internal logistics infrastructure;
- land preparation;
- engineering and technical facilities.
For investors, this translates into lower initial CAPEX and higher cost predictability.
3. Tax and Customs Incentives for Residents
Industrial parks offer one of the most competitive investment regimes in Ukraine, including:
- VAT exemption on imported equipment;
- exemption from import duties;
- potential local tax incentives at the municipal level;
- streamlined administrative procedures.
These benefits are especially relevant for:
- international companies relocating or expanding production;
- agro-processing businesses;
- capital-intensive manufacturing projects.
4. Industrial Parks as a Risk-Mitigation Tool
From an investor’s perspective, the core value of an industrial park lies in de-risking.
Key elements include:
- pre-zoned land with clear industrial designation;
- centralized park management;
- standardized contractual frameworks;
- transparent utility-connection models;
- reduced regulatory and permitting risks.
For foreign investors, this significantly lowers entry barriers and operational uncertainty.
5. High-Potential Sectors
In practice, the strongest demand for industrial parks in Ukraine comes from:
- agro-processing (oilseeds, flour, animal feed, protein products);
- food production;
- machinery and metal fabrication;
- woodworking and furniture manufacturing;
- logistics and cold storage;
- renewable energy and bioenergy.
These sectors generate high value added and strong export potential.
6. The Role of LARGOS
LARGOS specializes in supporting investors and companies through:
- selection of industrial parks tailored to specific business needs;
- investor entry into existing industrial parks;
- sale of land plots and ready-made assets within industrial parks;

We act not as a developer, but as a broker and strategic transaction partner, ensuring economically sound investment decisions.
7. Industrial Parks in the Context of Ukraine’s Reconstruction
Within the broader reconstruction framework, industrial parks play a systemic role by:
- creating jobs;
- reestablishing industrial capacity;
- replacing imports with domestic production;
- stimulating regional development;
- integrating Ukraine into European supply chains.
This is why industrial parks receive priority support at both national and international levels.
Conclusion
Industrial parks in Ukraine are no longer a future concept — they are a functioning investment mechanism delivering tangible results. The combination of state support, private-sector execution, and professional transaction advisory creates a competitive environment for scalable industrial investment.
For companies seeking market entry or production expansion, industrial parks represent a rational, structured, and economically justified platform in Ukraine.
