AmerVenture — Building Opportunities

The showcase and club of free-zone companies, starting with the Colón Free Zone.

ZonaFranca X

Free-zone trade

Primary markets
Panama, then Latin America
Status
In development

ZonaFranca X brings free-zone companies, their goods and the services around them into one place: wholesalers, manufacturers, logistics, customs and legal services, warehouses and offices. It starts with the Colón Free Zone in Panama, with Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic and Mexico next.

The problem

Free zones hold huge stocks of goods and experienced traders, yet almost nothing about them is online in a usable form. Buyers cannot see trade terms, origin or logistics data, visitors do not know which warehouses and services exist, and companies looking for production or assembly inside a free zone find no information at all.

What the platform does

Company pages with catalogs built for wholesale trade: minimum order, Incoterms, country of origin, packaging and pallet data. Around them, service providers, warehouses and spaces, news on sanctions and regulations, and events. Trading companies come in automatically from Arbitrap, and a local representative can verify a company on site.

How it works

  1. 1

    Join

    A company becomes a member of its zone and gets its page and member number.

  2. 2

    Show

    It publishes a catalog with real trade terms, plus its services, spaces and offers.

  3. 3

    Verify

    The zone representative visits on site and grants a verification badge for a year.

  4. 4

    Connect

    Buyer requests reach the members who offer the service, verified companies first.

Who it is for

Wholesalers, manufacturers and service companies inside free zones, and the buyers, importers and investors who work with them.

Where it is today

In development, with the Colón Free Zone as the first zone and a local partner on the ground. Company showcases, memberships, on-site verification and service requests come first; real estate, warehouses and logistics modules follow.

Regional partnership

Open and run ZonaFranca X for a free zone in your country.

A good partner brings

  • A trader, association or service company established in a free zone
  • Relationships with zone authorities, chambers of commerce or customs brokers
  • The ability to represent the platform locally: onboarding companies and verifying them on site
