The Head of the Supervisory Board of Ajax Systems told what domestic industrial parks are currently lacking.
Oleksandr Konotopsky, Head of the Supervisory Board of Ajax Systems, shared his vision for the development of industrial parks in Ukraine during an event dedicated to the 3rd anniversary of "Diya.City", a journalist from dev.ua reports.
"Diya.City Industrial" is a combination of "Diya.City" and industrial parks, such as those in Turkey, Vietnam, the United Arab Emirates, etc. This will be a very powerful thing. Currently, industrial parks in Ukraine are "castrated". It is not very clear why, say, a German or American company would open in an industrial park here if it can be done in Turkey," the entrepreneur said.
Recall that an industrial park is a land plot where participants can engage in industrial production, conduct economic and scientific research activities. At the end of 2024, 99 industrial parks were registered in Ukraine, and in January 2025, there were 100 of them.
In 2024, a decision was made to allocate state support to 15 industrial parks in the amount of over UAH 1.1 billion. These funds can be spent on three items: construction of networks and infrastructure of industrial parks (up to UAH 150 million per industrial park); compensation for costs of designing and obtaining technical specifications for networks and infrastructure; compensation for interest on loans taken for the development or construction of industrial parks.
By the end of 2024, 13 out of 15 applicants had received a total of UAH 925 million. Two more industrial parks will receive funding in early 2025.
At the beginning of the full-scale war, many enterprises were forced to look for new places to relocate warehouses and production. But then industrial parks were unable to meet demand due to a lack of premises and networks.
