A ten-hectare big area was allocated for this purpose in Neftchala. The district will have all the needed conditions including internal and outer infrastructures.
Today, Azerbaijan is also developing two industrial parks in Baku’s suburb and in the second biggest industrial city of the country – Sumgayit.
The State Program for the Development of Industry in 2015-2020 says Azerbaijan will establish some industrial parks in Ganja and Mingachevir cities in 2015-2018.
Azerbaijan will also create favorable conditions for other countries to participate in the industrial parks.
