about GSEZ

Gabon Special Economic Zone (GSEZ) SA springs from a public-private partnership venture between Arise IIP and the Gabonese Republic (CDC) signed in March 2010. GSEZ was set up to foster local timber processing, industrial production, and the sustainable use of Gabon's natural reseources, primarily timber, for local and export markets.

It allows local and international investors to establish themselves and set up locally thanks to a unique administrative and fiscal status. The industrial zone is divided into three sectors: industrial, commercial and residential. Located in Nkok town, 27 km from the capital, Libreville, GSEZ can be reached by road, rail,and riverboat traffic. It also has a loading platform for loading barges for direct connections with the port city of Owendo.

Gabon Special Economic Zone is fast emerging as the West Central Africa's manufacturing hub and entrepreneurs from across the globe are welcome to benefit from the business opportunities unlocked by Nkok SEZ. It was awarded Best Economic Zones for Wood Production in 2020 in the Financial Times FDI Intelligence ranking. Today GSEZ includes: 144 investors from 16 different nations and operating in 22 industrial sectors.
