BUSINESSES in Bulawayo are looking forward to the twin trade showcases, the Mining Engineering and Transport Expo (Mine Entra) 2025 and the Africa Infrastructure and Built Environment Conference and Expo (AfriConfex) 2025, which run concurrently from
today until Friday.
The events are expected to provide the businesses with opportunities to grow their enterprises and generate the much-needed income.
The expos, running concurrently from Wednesday until Friday at the Zimbabwe International Exhibition and Conference Smart City (ZIECS) in Bulawayo, are expected to draw hundreds of exhibitors and delegates from across the globe, reinforcing Zimbabwe’s
position as a regional hub for mining, infrastructure and industrial innovation.
During such events, Bulawayo witnesses a hive of activity as Government officials, local and foreign exhibitors, as well as other sector players, among others, converge on the city.
These expos, just like the Zimbabwe International Trade Fair (ZITF) held in April, provide a platform for Bulawayo companies to put themselves on the world map by creating new partnerships and synergies.
In an interview, Bulawayo Chamber of Small to Medium Enterprises (SMEs) vice chairperson, Ms Sithabile Bhebhe, said such events were a major boost for business in the city.
“Micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) should take advantage of the Expos just like they do during ZITF to grow their enterprises and generate the much-needed income. They should participate where they can and exhibit their products and services,”
she said.
