Definitions: A special economic zone (SEZ) is a territory with defined boundaries and a special legal regime designated to attract foreign and domestic investment, technology and management expertise. A small industrial zone (SIZ) is a designated land plot, in some cases including production facilities, equipped with engineering and technical infrastructure. A technopark is an integration of commercial and non-commercial organizations across science, education, finance and entrepreneurship. A cluster is a form of organizing production for the cultivation, processing and export of agricultural, textile, food and related products.
