OUR INDUSTRIAL PLATFORM
“GSEZ provides our country a full fledged tool for the second and third local transformation of wood. Today this model tested in Nkon has been extended to Ikolo near Lambarene and Mpassa Lebombi near Franceville. It is the recognition of the excellence of this model that has resulted in our zone being awarded the title of the best economic zone in the world in the field of food production in the FDI intelligence 2020 ranking of the financial times”
