About the Chamber

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.

Who We Are

Built From a Shared Need for Representation

The Chamber emerged from the recognition that Africa's special economic zones and industrial parks needed unified representation. Developers, operators, tenants and service providers had the shared interests - but lacked a shared platform for collaboration.

Today, the Chamber represents over 200 industrial parks and SEZs across 30+ countries, partnered with 50+ institutional organisations including continental bodies and development banks.
