Maputo, Mozambique – Following the successful Arab Investment Forum held in Maputo last week, a delegation from the Arab Bank for Economic Development in Africa (BADEA) visited Beluluane Industrial Park and MozParks to explore ongoing projects and future investment opportunities.
The visit provided the BADEA representatives with a firsthand look at the developments within Beluluane Industrial Park, one of Mozambique’s key industrial zones managed by MozParks.
Onorio Manuel, General Director of MozParks, expressed his enthusiasm for the visit, stating: “We are delighted to welcome BADEA to Beluluane Industrial Park. This visit highlights the fruitful outcomes of the Arab Investment Forum and strengthens our growing relationship. It is an excellent opportunity to showcase our projects and discuss future collaborations that will drive sustainable growth and job creation in Mozambique.”
During the visit, the delegation, which included Tshepelayi Kabata, Senior Technical Advisor to the President of BADEA, and Cedrick Montetcho, Chief of Business Development at BADEA, had the opportunity to visit several companies within the park, such as Midal Cables, ETG Steel Solutions, RAXIO Data Centre, and Duys Moçambique.
They acknowledged MozParks’ success in attracting international businesses as the company offers added value to the investors, as companies within the park can focus on their core activities while MozParks manages their operational needs.
BADEA expressed their interest in initiating discussions with MozParks and the park companies to address various interests and explore potential financing solutions in Mozambique’s trading and industrial sectors.
MozParks will continue to foster strategic partnerships and drive initiatives that promote sustainable industrial growth and economic development in Mozambique.

MozParks is participating as a speaker at the 3rd edition of the Mozambique Energy & Industry Summit (MEIS), taking place from 2-4 July in Cabo Delgado. This prestigious event gathers key national and international stakeholders, including government representatives and leading organizations from across the region, to share knowledge and drive business opportunities throughout the continent.
MozParks’ General Manager, Onorio Manuel, will be speaking at the conference to share the company’s vision for sustainable socio-economic development in Cabo Delgado province. MozParks’ key message emphasizes that the socio-economic development of Cabo Delgado hinges on optimizing the value chain of megaprojects, particularly in the extractive and hydrocarbons industries, and explains the role of industrial parks in accommodating suppliers for these projects and adding value to raw materials.
“This vision is designed to attract investments to Mozambique, creating jobs for the youth of the community and the province, boosting entrepreneurship, and importantly, expanding the state’s tax base,” said Manuel in his recent interview for TV Miramar on Economy & Business.
MozParks’ Vision
As Mozambique’s sole operator of Sustainable Economic Zones, MozParks has leveraged the eco-industrial model to promote collective spaces where park tenants share resources to increase profitability, local production, and environmental care. The company offers a business-friendly climate with administrative support for licensing and compliance, quality infrastructure, 80 MW of power, and tax incentives, making Mozambique accessible for investment.
Looking ahead, MozParks has expansion plans in Cabo Delgado province through Cabo Delgado Parks, a network of industrial parks in the Montepuez, Balama, Ancuabe, and Palma districts, and a logistics base in Pemba. These parks will integrate within small communities and directly involve residents, creating employment and training opportunities and promoting community engagement. The three key objectives of this network of parks are to accelerate economic development, promote and boost youth employment, and develop the green economy.
