Manufacturing and Industrial Parks
Industrialisation is at the centre of Zimbabwe’s development strategy, and Vietnam’s GoGlobal Programme names the same industries for its firms abroad. MZM helps Asian manufacturers choose a site, get licensed and start operating in Zimbabwe.
The opportunity in Zimbabwe.
- The Zimbabwe National Industrial Development Policy II (2026 to 2030) aims to more than double manufactured exports.
- Zimbabwe has six public Special Economic Zones, including manufacturing zones in Bulawayo and an agro-processing and beneficiation zone in Mutare.
- ZIDA lists a five-year corporate tax holiday and duty rebates on capital equipment for Special Economic Zone investors.
- —Site selection across Special Economic Zones and industrial parks
- —Special Economic Zone licensing support through ZIDA
- —Briefings on regulation, incentives and labour
- —Introductions to local partners, suppliers and service providers
- —Power and raw material planning through our energy and agriculture work

The bodies this sector works through.
MZM prepares clients for each of these institutions. MZM is a private firm and does not represent any of them.
Clear limits, stated up front.
Manufacturing investments take longer and need several approvals. MZM works with licensed legal and tax advisers wherever advice is required, and does not offer incentives or approvals that only government agencies can grant.
Every opportunity is verified before it reaches an investor, and every fee is agreed in writing and disclosed to all parties. Read our approach.
