Oleksiy Honcharuk gave this opinion while commenting on the working meeting “Development of industrial parks in the modernization of industrial infrastructure” organized by the Ukrainian Building Community jointly with the Association of Industrial Parks of Ukraine.
“The development of industrial parks is a common European practice. The experience of a number of such countries as Poland, Slovakia and Czech Republic demonstrates the positive effect of this trend on economic development of regions and active introduction of innovative technical solutions,” Oleksiy Honcharuk said. He also added that the development of this segment was long overdue in Ukraine. The expert noted that we had a necessary base to start but there was still work to be done.
According to the BRDO head, the issues of better regulation in this area as well as problems of funding and taxation were discussed during this meeting moderated by Oleksiy Honcharuk.
He informed that during the meeting, it was decided to hold additional working groups on developing such topical issues as:
– access to getting a status of industrial parks and understanding of the concept of a management company for industrial parks;
– incentives offered by the state to an investor in order to attract him in Ukraine;
– access to infrastructure.
In addition, three specific initiatives for collaborative work of participants were determined:
– utility company status to be able to get a land plot along with the right to allocate 10 hectares of land for a management company to establish and register the industrial park;
– simplification and better regulation of procedures to use existing integral property complexes to establish industrial parks;
– search of an efficient model to transform the asset in disrepair to restore it.
