Stimulating Trade
Seizing opportunities to accelerate growth
Zimbabwe International Trade Fair
Dear Participants,
A warm welcome to the 56th edition of the Zimbabwe International Trade Fair. During previous exhibitions, the emphasis has been on how to utilise our potential through business networks and innovation in order to achieve sustainable growth.
This year, through the theme Stimulating Trade, we are saying the time is now to turn our potential into valuable trade in order to get the domestic, regional and global economy thriving again.
We are therefore calling the local business community, both large corporates and the Small to Medium Enterprises, to participate in ZITF 2015. This will be the perfect opportunity to showcase the best that Zimbabwe has to offer, as well as share ideas on how you are working towards stimulating trade within the economy.
To the international exhibitors, business visitors and investors, ZITF 2015 is a multi-sectoral trade fair, making it an ideal platform to seek new markets as well as get a snapshot of Zimbabwe’s investment potential.
Come and see for yourselves the abundant opportunities available in Zimbabwe.
