The article examines the system of regional development and the role of systemically important enterprises in the development of the region. The aim of the study is to develop a system model of regional development taking into account the designated enterprises. The main gaps in the theory of regional development are identified: the lack of a single model of regional development, as well as the lack of consideration of current changes, challenges and risks.

The main models of regional development are identified: agrarian and industrial, raw materials, production, mixed. It is revealed that the most significant challenges in the system of regional development are: lack of competition in certain industries, asymmetry of state support, lack of a systemic model of regional development in national and regional economic development projects.
