Genesis of Kaveh Industrial City and Special Economic Zone<\/h3>\n

This strategic location, with its close proximity to Tehran, access to key transportation routes, including north-south and west-east connections, and its adjacency to important consumption markets, has solidified Kaveh as Iran’s largest industrial city and a vital industrial hub.<\/p>\n
Kaveh Industrial City’s transition to a Special Economic Zone (SEZ) was driven by economic goals, including enhancing international trade relations, creating economic mobility, increasing industrial productivity, promoting a competitive economy, facilitating technology transfer, boosting non-oil exports, and attracting domestic and foreign investors. This transition was formalized through Resolution No. 125700\/46519 on June 22, 1390.<\/p>\n
