KARIBA will next month play host to hundreds of companies and individuals at the second business exhibition where companies will showcase their products and services in a bid to facilitate business growth through networking.The Kariba Business Expo will run from September 5-8 at the Mopani Bay Campsite under the theme “Networking into the future”.
Mr Maxton Kanhema, chief executive of Safecan Holdings, the organisers of the expo, said they were anticipating a bigger expo than last year. “Last year we did not have a very good turnout because it was the first time we were hosting the expo.
“We are expecting more people to participate and create networks and synergies in business,” he said.
He said more than16 organisations from Harare and other cities had already confirmed participation while more had expressed interest.
According to the organisers, a number of companies from the town will be exhibiting and these include engineering companies, tour operators and others in the service industry.
Speaking on the benefits of the expo to Kariba, Mr Kanhema said the expected influx of existing and potential investors will see Kariba moving forward and allowing the town to take stock of its previous actions as well as be able to look into the future with increased focus.
He said exhibitors had a chance to meet with both existing and potential business partners at the expo.
“Exhibitors will benefit from networking and get increased visibility and it is a chance for them to meet potential investors,” he said.
A number of sectors and towns have held such business expos as a means to spearhead development and encourage business interaction.
