ZITF 2027

ZITF is far more than a marketplace; it is a comprehensive economic ecosystem designed to drive industrialisation in alignment with the National Development Strategy (NDS2). It provides an unparalleled environment for high-stakes trade negotiations and strategic stakeholder engagement. By consistently delivering a platform that mirrors the full breadth of the Zimbabwean economy—from mining and manufacturing to ICT and financial services—ZITF remains the most vital commercial event on the regional calendar, underpinned by over six decades of proven historical performance.
