The article presents the results of an empirical study comparing different tools to increase regional investment attractiveness. As the main indicators of the valuation, the amount of attracted investments and the number of newly created jobs are used. As a basis for the analysis, more than 200 infrastructure facilities were selected: special economic zones, industrial parks, technoparks, etc. The results of the research show that for the Russian regions the greatest effect is provided by the creation of industrial parks, since the concept itself provides for investors greater complexity and controllability of the elements of infrastructure at these sites.
