about PEIA

Plateforme Economique Industrielle d'Abidjan (PEIA) stands as a testament to the strategic partnership between Arise IIP and the Republic of Côte d'Ivoire. Functioning as a Public-Private Partnership (PPP), this collaboration underscores a commitment to sustainable industrial development. PEIA is an infrastructure-rich industrial park designed to propel economic growth by providing cutting-edge facilities and logistical support.

At the core of PEIA's offering is its emphasis on logistics advancement. The park's strategic location and well-developed road networks make it an ideal hub for the efficient movement of goods. This logistical efficiency translates into increased competitiveness for businesses operating within PEIA, fostering both local and international trade.

Moreover, PEIA plays a crucial role in import substitution, enabling Côte d'Ivoire to meet its domestic demand for processed goods. This not only bolsters self-sufficiency but also positions the country as a reliable source of quality products, reducing dependence on imports and enhancing economic resilience.

In essence, PEIA, as a collaborative effort between Arise IIP and the Republic of Côte d'Ivoire, is a multifaceted platform driving industrial growth. By integrating logistics, utilities, and strategic initiatives for agro-commodity processing, PEIA aims not only to bolster local industries but also to position Côte d'Ivoire as a regional leader in manufacturing. This PPP model serves as a blueprint for sustainable development, emphasizing the importance of private sector participation in driving economic progress.
