From Industrial Zones to Integrated Ecosystems:
Unlocking the Potential of Industrial Symbiosis
Special Economic Zones (SEZs) across the Middle East and North Africa are evolving from cost-driven manufacturing locations into integrated industrial ecosystems. To remain competitive, these zones need to combine economic performance with resource efficiency, resilience and measurable environmental and social impact.
In this webinar, FEV energy+resources, FEV Consutling and NurZen explore how industrial symbiosis can help SEZ authorities, developers and investors unlock new value from the exchange of energy, water, materials and industrial by-products. Drawing on international benchmarks and the principles of UNIDO-aligned Eco-Industrial Parks, the session demonstrates how the latest technologies and digital modelling approaches can reduce external resource dependency, optimize infrastructure and create new business opportunities.
Participants will discover how a digital simulation model can identify high-impact synergies, optimize resource flows, compare development scenarios and translate sustainability opportunities into robust techno-economic business cases.
The session concludes with practical recommendations for turning industrial symbiosis into action — from opportunity screening and enabling infrastructure to public-private partnerships, green finance and pilot implementation.
