Plateform Industrial Adetikope

PIA (Plateforme Industrielle d’Adétikopé) is a 400-hectare integrated industrial zone located 15 km north of Lomé. Developed through a Togo–ARISE IIP PPP, the platform is designed to convert premium-grade Togolese cotton into textiles and garments for global markets positioning it as West Africa’s most advanced, vertically aligned textile manufacturing destination.

2024 welcomed several new entrants from footwear and plastics to cotton recycling and beverages. Phase 2 expands this ecosystem with three textile units and six garment facilities capable of processing 30,000 tons of cotton annually, creating 20,000 new jobs.

PIA enables a fully integrated textile-to-garment value chain: raw cotton sourcing, spinning, weaving, dyeing, and garmenting all within a single zone. This seamless flow maximizes value capture, ensuring competitive export-ready production for global brands.

The zone targets 130 billion FCFA (approx. $215M) in initial investments and at least 30,000 direct jobs. Within this, the textile park alone aims for 20,000 direct and 80,000 indirect jobs supporting a potential 21% contribution to Togo’s GDP.

PIA’s proximity to Lomé port, West Africa’s only deep-water port, enables efficient exports to the U.S., Europe, and other high-demand markets. Its traceable, ethically produced textiles cater to global brands seeking reliable, high-quality African manufacturing partners.

Yes. PIA initiated garment exports to the U.S. in 2024, with Togo’s exports to the market rising from $20M (2021) to $97M (2024). The zone’s vertically integrated model appeals to brands seeking ethical, traceable, and time-efficient West African production.

PIA partners with the Togolese government on large-scale solar and battery projects to supply clean energy to its industries. The Adétikopé solar plant is set to be West Africa’s largest photovoltaic facility - strengthening the zone’s appeal to sustainability-focused global buyers.

Togo posted 5.3% growth in 2024, with forecasts of 5.3–5.8% for 2025. Inflation stands at 2.2% one of the lowest in Sub-Saharan Africa. The IMF also applauded Togo’s 74% implementation of ECF reforms, reinforcing macroeconomic stability and investor confidence.

Port of Lomé is West Africa’s only deep-water port that accommodates new-generation vessels without tidal restrictions. Handling 30.64M tonnes in 2024 and ranking 93rd globally, it powers 70% of Togo’s economic activity and 75% of its tax revenue.

As the main gateway for Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso, Port of Lomé’s central Atlantic location reduces transit times across West Africa. A tax-free logistics zone and streamlined customs enhance speed, cost efficiency, and distribution reach.

PIA provides flexible plot sizes, utility-ready sites, one-stop services, cotton storage warehouses, beverage plant zones, and dedicated container platforms. With 90% renewable energy access, the zone enables sustainable, seamless industrial operations.

A high-level U.S. visit in 2025 reaffirmed interest in Lomé’s logistics and infrastructure. With deep-water capabilities and >30M tons annual throughput, Lomé offers American and global businesses unmatched entry into African markets adding credibility to PIA’s long-term prospects.
