Quaid-e-Azam Business Park Sheikhupura () is an industrial park in Pakistan, spread over 1536 acres of land located on the M-2 Lahore-Islamabad Motorway near Sheikhupura. It has been designated as a special economic zone by the Pakistan government.
The park is operated by the Punjab Industrial Estate Development and Management Company (PIEDMC).
History The business park had initially been named the Quaid-e-Azam Apparel Park; the name was changed in November 2019.
In 2020, Chief Minister of Punjab Usman Buzdar said the park would go a long way in boosting industrialization in Pakistan and create approximately half a million jobs while a labour colony would also be built in the Quaid-e-Azam Business Park over 200 acres.
In March 2020, Prime Minister of Pakistan Imran Khan was scheduled to inaugurate the business park, but this was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Punjab Industrial Estates Development and Management Company (PIEDMC) claimed that more than 300 national and multinational companies had shown interest in establishing industrial units in the business park. Quaid-e-Azam Business Park Sheikhupura was officially launched on 18th July 2020.
In 2024, a delegation of industrialists met the provincial Minister, Chaudhry Shafay Hussain. They were keen to set up a factory at the Quaid-e-Azam Business Park.
A dozen industries designated as preferred industries for the park are: manufacturing services, auto parts, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, light engineering, plastics, information technology, electronics, food and beverages, logistics, mobile manufacturing and warehousing.
