The Export Processing Zones Authority (EPZA) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with www.TanzaniaInvest.com on August 2nd 2016 to cooperate in promoting business and investment opportunities in Tanzania.

According to the MoU, TanzaniaInvest.com will continue promoting the visibility of Tanzania’s economy and forward to EPZA all the queries it receives concerning projects in the Special Economic Zones (SEZs.) and Export Processing Zones (EPZs) of Tanzania.

By becoming official partners EPZA and TanzaniaInvest.com will share information and studies, which will be published on their respective websites, so to increase their reach.

The MoU was signed by Joseph Leon Simbakalia, Director General of EPZA, and Eric Tirabassi, Managing Editor of TanzaniaInvest.com.

Mr. Simbakalia said: “I strongly recommend investors to look at www.TanzaniaInvest.com to get updates about our country and the numerous investment opportunities available.”

Mr. Eric Tirabassi, Managing Editor of TanzaniaInvest.com, explained: “Our partnership with EPZA comes at the right time when Tanzania is aggressively pursuing its industrialization ambitions. The country aims to  become semi-industrialized by 2025 and private investments will play a crucial role. Our duty is to clarify and explain the opportunities available.”

EPZA is an autonomous Government Agency under the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment, responsible for establishing and supervising the operations of EPZs and SEZs in Tanzania.

The Authority functions as a One Stop Service Centre for all prospective and existing investors.
