THE first-ever Rural Industrialisation Indaba, introduced by the Zimbabwe International Trade Fair (ZITF) Company, is currently underway at the country’s premier trade showcase, which began this Monday at the Zimbabwe International Exhibition Centre (ZIEC) in Bulawayo.
This inaugural event seeks to harness Zimbabwe’s rural potential by empowering communities to establish global linkages and participate meaningfully in the national industrialisation agenda.
Held under the theme “Inclusive Growth, Industrial Roots: Unlocking Zimbabwe’s Rural Potential,” the Indaba aims to promote inclusive development by placing rural communities at the forefront of the country’s economic transformation.
