The results of the research indicate the significant differentiation between districts in terms of the investment attractiveness. The most attractive for investors is Kharkiv district. High investment attractiveness is typical for northern and northwestern districts of Kharkiv region. Most of the districts have average investment attractiveness, they are mainly located in the center of the region.
