7 Components to a world-class economic zone program
A growing number of SEZs are competing for businesses in a world that is constantly disrupted by major political and economic challenges including new demands in Industry 4.0, innovation and sustainability. The future of SEZ is promising, but only the most innovative, forward-looking and resilient SEZs will successfully reap the benefits of these emerging trends. Through our integrated services we are able to support SEZs to make the next steps in their development and position them to be more resilient for the future and more competitive to attract more investment and trade they require.
