A quarter century ago, Beluluane Industrial Park was little more than a bold idea. Today, it stands as Mozambique’s largest hub of industrial growth, and it is home to more than 70 companies from 20 different countries and supporting over 10,000 jobs.
The journey began in 2000 with a single anchor investor, Mozal. At the time, only 25% of companies at the park were reaching markets beyond that anchor. Fast forward to today, and 60% now serve clients across industries. The park has proven itself to be a platform for national growth and a model of resilience.
One of the keys to this transformation has been reliable energy. Through the EDM Beluluane Power Project, supported by KfW, the park secured stable power that unlocked productivity, reduced risk for tenants, and laid the foundation for expansion.
“Beluluane’s first 25 years show what Mozambique can achieve with the right mix of infrastructure, policy, and partnership. We’ve built jobs, diversified suppliers, and delivered reliable power. Our focus now is scaling this model nationwide,” says MozParks General Director, Onório Manuel.
MozParks is leading a national industrialization plan to develop 20 industrial parks across every province, replicating the Beluluane model to multiply opportunities for job creation, SMEs linkages, and investment attraction.
Next on the expansion plan is Cabo Delgado, where four new industrial parks and two logistics bases are being developed to cluster suppliers around the province’s major energy and mining projects. This initiative will accelerate local content development, create jobs, and unlock new opportunities for SMEs. To support this growth, the Provincial Government of Cabo Delgado has approved a new legal framework that requires oil & gas suppliers to operate within designated parks and logistics bases, ensuring that investment remains anchored in structured, secure, and service-ready environments.
