A About us

Industrial Park Platform  - IPP is a global knowledge platform that serves as a resource centre for industrial parks (also called special economic zones, industrial districts, corridors, etc.) and other related area development initiatives around the world.

Our mission is to promote partnerships and cooperation; to connect experts and facilitate matchmaking; to enhance sharing of data, analysis, tools and best practices; to accelerate dialogues among various actors; to provide capacity-building training, thereby spurring industrialization through sustainable industrial park development while addressing challenges of knowledge gaps.

Knowledge sharing is one of the most valuable tools for developing countries and transition economies to learn from each other, develop effective institutions, build human capacity and create sustainable solutions.

South-South cooperation becomes a major instrument as it helps replicate and upscale good practices and facilitate technology transfer, contributing to the attainment of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The SIPP is a response to the need to stimulate dialogues and initiatives oriented towards increasing Southern solidarity and mutually beneficial partnerships to achieve sustainable industrialization.
