Where Africa Builds its Industrial Future
One unified voice for the developers, operators, tenants and partners behind 200+ industrial parks and special economic zones across 30+ African countries.
Competitiveness That Creates Shared Prosperity.
Through integrated industrial parks and special economic zones, we're building the infrastructure that lets African industry compete - and lets that growth reach everyone connected to it.
Policy-to-Production Hubs, Represented as One
Special economic zones are where policy becomes production. The Economic Zones Chamber emerged from a simple recognition: developers, operators, tenants and service providers across the continent lacked a shared platform to collaborate, advocate and grow together.
Today we represent 200+ industrial parks and SEZs across 30+ countries, partnered with 50+ institutional organisations - including continental bodies and development banks - united by a single mission: advancing economic competitiveness for shared prosperity.
