Ho Chi Minh City Export Processing and Industrial Zones Authority was established in 1992 in order to carry out simple state administration on investment activities of the export processing and industrial zones in Ho Chi Minh City.
All EPZs & IZs of Ho Chi Minh City are located alongside major roads and highways directly connecting main transport systems, near seaports, new urban areas and training-education, R&D institutes and different facilities & services which are convenient for living and doing business. According to the master plan of the City, by the year 2020, Ho Chi Minh City will have 22 EPZs & IZs with 6,000 hectares of area.
Ho Chi Minh City Export Processing and Industrial Zone Authority (Hepza) is expanding the existing IZs and introduces new IZs for specific industries such as engineering, electric-electronics, chemicals and industrial services.
