This article examines the scientific and methodological foundations for applying Geographic Information System (GIS) technologies to the spatial allocation of export-oriented production zones and the enhancement of regional export potential. The study evaluates the spatial distribution of economic, transport-logistics, infrastructure, and investment indicators using GIS-based analysis. International experience in the application of interactive investment maps and geospatial technologies is reviewed, highlighting their role in supporting investment decision-making and improving export infrastructure. Based on the analysis of gross regional product and industrial output per capita across the regions of Uzbekistan, regional disparities are identified and recommendations for strengthening export potential are proposed. The findings demonstrate that GIS technologies provide an effective analytical tool for regional planning, spatial decision-making, and the efficient placement of export-oriented manufacturing facilities
