The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine has adopted Draft Law No. 12117, introducing a number of improvements to the regulatory framework for industrial parks. The bill received 270 votes in favour. The amendments are intended to address practical issues that have emerged under the existing legislation and make it easier to establish new manufacturing facilities within industrial parks.
One of the key changes allows the initiator of an industrial park to simultaneously act as its management company without establishing a separate legal entity. The legislation also introduces the concept of an “eco-industrial park,” while the Cabinet of Ministers will be authorised to establish the criteria for such facilities.
A separate set of amendments concerns land regulation. A new designated land-use category for industrial parks is being introduced, while procedures for expanding or reducing park areas and transferring ownership rights to land plots are being clarified. Land plots separated by protective forest belts will also be allowed to qualify as adjacent plots.
The legislation also expands access to financing. Management companies whose main activity is leasing real estate will be able to qualify for government support available to small and medium-sized enterprises, including loans under the “5-7-9%” affordable lending programme. State incentive mechanisms and procedures for transferring international technical assistance have also been improved. By the end of 2025, 37 factories had already been built or were under construction in Ukraine’s industrial parks.
