MozParks will join the Mozambican delegation at the 2025 edition of the U.S.–Africa Business Summit, taking place from June 22 to 25 in Luanda. The summit is organized by the Corporate Council on Africa (CCA) in collaboration with the Government of Angola. It will bring together government leaders, private sector executives, and development partners. The goal is to explore new trade and investment opportunities between the United States and African nations.
MozParks’ General Manager, Onório Manuel, will participate in the “Invest in Mozambique” panel, where he will present the company’s contribution to the country’s industrialization agenda and highlight opportunities available for foreign investors. Speaking alongside other national representatives, Manuel will outline how Mozambique is positioning itself as a competitive investment destination, highlighting the infrastructure and business environment that MozParks has developed across its industrial parks.

This marks the second consecutive year that MozParks is participating in the U.S.–Africa Business Summit, following its 2024 appearance in Dallas, Texas. The company’s continued presence at this high-level forum reflects its commitment to positioning Mozambique as a strategic investment destination and to building long-term international partnerships that support the country’s development goals.
This year’s summit, themed “Partnering for Sustainable Growth,” will bring together over 1,500 participants, including Heads of State, ministers, CEOs, and investors. In particular, the agenda will feature national forums such as “Invest in Mozambique,” alongside sector-focused discussions on energy, health, digital transformation, infrastructure, and finance.
MozParks’ participation at this year’s summit reflects its continued commitment to promoting Mozambique’s economic potential on the international stage and attracting strategic partnerships that can accelerate the country’s development priorities.
About MozParks
MozParks is a developer and operator of Sustainable Economic Zones, established as a public-private partnership between the African Sustainable Economic Zones Alliance (ASEZA) and Mozambican Government Agency for Investment and Export Promotion (APIEX). MozParks manages parks in Beluluane and Nampula, with plans for expansion into Cabo Delgado province. Furthermore, MozParks has attracted over 60 companies from 18 countries, contributing to income generation for more than 120,000 Mozambicans and securing over USD 3 billion in investments at the Beluluane Industrial Park in Maputo province.
At MozParks, we believe that meaningful learning extends beyond the classroom—and this week, we had the chance to put that belief into action. We were thrilled to welcome 30 bright and curious students from the French School of Maputo for an educational visit to Beluluane Industrial Park.
This wasn’t your average school field trip. The visit gave students a unique, behind-the-scenes look at how industrial parks operate and the critical role they play in Mozambique’s economic development. From infrastructure and logistics to investment attraction and local job creation, the tour showcased how MozParks is shaping the country’s industrial landscape.
The students also got a firsthand introduction to the MozYouth Foundation, an initiative of MozParks that connects young people with internship opportunities across the country. So far, MozYouth has empowered more than 1,200 young Mozambicans by helping them gain real work experience and practical skills. It was a chance for the visiting students to see how education and employability go hand in hand, and how companies can be agents of positive change for youth.
Experiences like this help connect classroom learning with the real world, giving students a clearer view of how different industries work and where their own interests might lead them. By opening our doors to young learners, we hope to contribute in a small way to their understanding of the opportunities and challenges that shape Mozambique’s economic future.
