The project, to be developed on a 2,000-hectare site, includes a strong industrial and logistics component and has already attracted interest from international investors in the iron, steel, glass, pharmaceutical, and chemical sectors.
According to Tiago Carneiro, General Director of DIP Angola, "the project has entered a new operational phase, marked by progress on the industrial lot subdivision, the preparation of technical infrastructure, and the formalization of the first contracts."
"We have already signed nine contracts, representing 30 industrial lots, 3 residential lots, and 1 commercial lot," he stated.
The industrial component will account for approximately 70% of the initial plan and is expected to focus on activities related to manufacturing, logistics, and industrial processing. According to Tiago Carneiro, the goal is to contribute to strengthening and improving domestic production and to boosting export capacity.
"We are bringing advanced know-how and experience gained in the iron, steel, glass, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries," he noted.
The project also calls for the gradual provision of infrastructure deemed essential for industrial operations. DIP Angola will initially have 7 MW of available power capacity and has already submitted a request to expand to 200 MW. The company also confirmed plans for water supply, telecommunications, and road access.
The project's location, near Barra do Dande, alongside National Highway 100 and the region's future port hub, is one of the project's key strategic advantages, with a focus on industrialization and logistics, as well as attracting foreign investment to accelerate economic diversification.
Tiago Carneiro stated that the goal is to establish DIP Angola as a new economic hub within an integrated urban concept.
Dubai Investments Park Angola represents the group's first international project developed outside the United Arab Emirates and is expected to proceed in phases over the next few years, with an initial focus on the industrial and logistics components; however, additional projects are already underway, demonstrating the group's commitment in the medium and long term.
