Local entrepreneurs have reaffirmed their commitment to collaborate with the Government in creating smart cities across the
country.
Addressing journalists ahead of the inaugural Smart Zimbabwe Conference and Expo that will be held from October 30 to
November 1 in Harare, event coordinator Mr Rufaro Nyadembera said the platform seeks to bring together key stakeholders to
explore the latest advancements in smart city initiatives and developments.
Companies and innovators will get to showcase their smart solutions across diverse sectors such as health, cities, energy, ICT,
security and transport, among others.
“Achieving this vision requires more than just the Government’s effort. The private sector, international organisations,
professionals, and the general public all play an essential role in shaping this future.
“It is a platform for collaboration. Instead of working in silos, the conference creates a space for all stakeholders to come
together, share their ideas, and develop practical solutions. We believe that through this collaboration, we can ensure
Zimbabwe’s smart transition,” he said.
He said the private sector needs to support the Government.
The smart city initiative is part of the Zimbabwe National Human Settlement Plan which aims to contribute towards the
attainment of Vision 2030.
It also aligns with President Mnangagwa’s directive for local authorities to develop and implement master plans for improved
service delivery.
