Building Africa's Pharmaceutical Sovereignty.

MPMED-SEZ is Tanzania’s dedicated Special Economic Zone for pharmaceutical and medical-device manufacturing coordinated by PIAT and built to serve East and Southern Africa from one address.

Our Mandate

Build the manufacturing base

1

Convert Tanzania’s import-dependent pharma supply into domestic production
at 1,405 acres.

De-risk every investment

2

One inter-agency contact across PIAT, TMDA, MSD, MoH and TISEZA – not five waiting rooms.

Anchor demand contractually

3

Channel MSD’s $491M annual procurement and 15% local-preference into framework agreements.

Open the regional market

4

Position Tanzania as the manufacturing gateway to 780M+ EAC and
SADC consumers.
