This article provides a comprehensive analysis of the theoretical and practical aspects of developing entrepreneurial infrastructure to enhance the investment attractiveness of industrial zones. The study evaluates the integrated development of production, logistics, innovation, financial, institutional, and digital infrastructure as the key determinants of investment attractiveness under contemporary economic conditions. The research findings demonstrate that the development of entrepreneurial infrastructure plays a crucial role in strengthening the competitiveness of industrial zones, increasing the inflow of foreign direct investment, promoting high value-added manufacturing, and ensuring sustainable regional economic growth. The proposed approaches and conclusions may serve as a scientific and practical basis for policymakers and stakeholders in formulating strategies aimed at improving the investment attractiveness and long-term development of industrial zones.
