Industrial Parks as a Tool for Restoring Investment Attractiveness of De-Occupied Territories of Ukraine

Анотація

Research Subject. The research subject encompasses the mechanisms for restoring investment attractiveness of de-occupied territories of Ukraine through the establishment and operation of industrial parks. The analysis is conducted with consideration of critical security risks, large-scale demographic losses, and substantial infrastructure destruction. The study focuses on resolving the fundamental conflict between the necessity of targeted recovery of the most affected zones and the imperative to minimize security threats for attracting private capital. Research Objective. The research objective lies in substantiating the feasibility and developing a two-phase strategy for utilizing industrial parks for economic recovery, as well as in formulating differentiated state support mechanisms adapted to the specifics of de-occupied territories, incorporating critical analysis of international post-war reconstruction experience. Research Methodology. To achieve the stated objective, a systematic approach, comparative analysis of international experience, structural-functional method, economic-statistical analysis, and case study method of Ukrainian industrial parks operating under wartime conditions have been employed. Research Findings. A fundamental conflict between the objective of de-occupied territories recovery and the necessity of minimizing security risks has been identified. A two-phase strategy has been proposed: Phase 1 – establishment of industrial parks in secure regions for capital accumulation; Phase 2 – targeted recovery of critical zones through Recovery Parks with special status. A differentiated support system based on the Critical Recovery Index has been developed: increase of state participation to 95/5 or 100/0 ratios, complete state financing of demining operations, extension of tax holidays up to 15 years. The concept of a multipurpose agro-industrial park valued at USD 150-300 million with integration of brownfield sites and critical energy autonomy has been substantiated. Practical Application. The findings can be utilized in developing state programs for post-war recovery, formulating regional development strategies for de-occupied oblasts, as well as for planning and coordinating international donor support and attracting private investment. The success of the model requires social integration of employment programs for veterans and internally displaced persons (IDPs). Conclusions. The success of industrial parks in de-occupied territories requires a two-phase model, special Recovery Parks status with enhanced state support at 95/5 ratio, mandatory utilization of brownfield sites, energy autonomy as a critical requirement, and social integration of employment programs for veterans and IDPs.
