The Mozambique Gas & Energy Summit (MGES) brought together leaders and industry players to reflect on how large-scale LNG projects can support industrialisation and inclusive growth in the country. Among the leaders joining the discussion was MozParks’ CEO, Onorio Manuel, who shared the company’s vision for building sustainable industrial platforms in Cabo Delgado.
Manuel shared how the province is preparing to host four industrial parks and two logistics bases through the Cabo Delgado Parks initiative, designed to create opportunities for local production, improve supply chain resilience, and generate new jobs for Mozambicans. “By consolidating suppliers in well-structured platforms, we reduce risks, lower costs, and ensure that local content targets are achieved in practice,” he explained, underlining the role of industrial parks in providing a stable and competitive environment for investors.
This year’s Summit was a good opportunity to look at the new legal framework, introduced by the Provincial Government of Cabo Delgado last year, which requires suppliers to the oil and gas industry to be based within designated industrial areas.
Companies supplying LNG anchor projects are encouraged to secure their space inside Cabo Delgado’s designated parks to ensure compliance with the new framework and readiness to participate in the region’s growth. For more information contact: info@cabodelgadoparks.com or +258 84 757 1314.
