ECONET Wireless Zimbabwe’s stand at the 64th edition of the Zimbabwe International Trade Fair (ZITF), has drawn the praise of the Information Communication Technology, Postal, and Courier Services Minister, Dr Tatenda Mavetera.
The country’s leading telecoms and technology company is showcasing consumer and business products and services spanning telecommunications, digital and fintech, among others.
Minister Mavetera, who visited Econet’s stand yesterday, expressed her delight at the creative design of the stand and the digital innovation showcased by the products and services on display at the stand.
“Econet’s stand embodies the spirit of the ZITF theme: ‘Innovation: The Catalyst to Industrialisation and Trade’,” the minister remarked to members of the media during her tour of the stand.
“It aligns with our Government’s vision of promoting industrialisation through technology and innovation.”
She also commended Econet for heeding the Government’s call to empower young people.
“I am pleased to see Econet supporting young entrepreneurs and start-ups, which is crucial for economic growth,” she added.
Econet’s stand in Hall 4 is a spectacle of interactive digital displays of its current services, engaging live LED screens showcasing product use cases, such as gaming stations, as well as sneak previews into the future, characterised by immersive Augmented Reality (AR) as well as Virtual Reality (VR) capabilities and demos, that visitors to the stand have been sampling and trying.
In addition, Econet also added a 3D Digital Billboard chronicling Econet’s journey with its customers over the past 26 years.
Visitors in need of any of Econet’s products and services are able to purchase them, with the support of friendly customer service representatives.
