Abstract
<jats:p>The article explores industrial parks as an important instrument for attracting investment into regional economies and fostering local economic development in the context of structural transformations and wartime challenges. Their significance in creating a favorable investment climate, ensuring the concentration of industrial production, and promoting the implementation of high value-added investment projects is substantiated. The paper emphasizes that industrial parks contribute to the diversification of regional economies, the development of modern production infrastructure, and the strengthening of interregional economic linkages. The study analyzes the scale and dynamics of state support for industrial parks in 2025, highlighting the transition to an active phase of financial stimulation, particularly through increased public funding for engineering, transport, and energy infrastructure. At the same time, key constraints limiting the investment attractiveness of industrial parks are identified, including insufficient funding volumes, limited participation of local budgets, and a low level of foreign direct investment involvement. Based on this, priority directions for improving investment policy in the field of regional development are outlined. Special attention is given to methodological approaches to the integral assessment of investment projects within industrial parks. The relevance of constructing composite indices that combine economic, social, infrastructural, environmental, and innovation indicators into a single evaluation framework is emphasized. The study substantiates the application of the min–max normalization method and the use of weighting coefficients to ensure comparability of indicators and reflect their relative importance. The proposed approach allows for comprehensive assessment, comparative analysis, and informed decision-making regarding investment policy and strategic regional development.</jats:p>
