The event, which will be held at the Harare International Conference Centre, is expected to attract more than 1 000 business leaders, investors, policymakers and development partners from across the COMESA region.
The forum is running under theme “One Market, One Future: Advancing Inclusive Industrialisation, Investment and Regional Integration in COMESA”.
In a statement, COMESA Business Council chief executive officer Dr Teddy Soobramanien said: “Coca-Cola Africa’s partnership strengthens private sector representation at the forum and highlights the importance of business leadership in advancing regional trade, investment, industrialisation and sustainable economic development.”
The forum’s programme will include Green Industries Connect and the International Multisectoral Exhibition, exploring sustainable production, circular economy practices, resource efficiency and industrial waste management.
Discussions will examine ways to strengthen the regional market and address obstacles to trade and investment.
The forum is being organised by the COMESA Secretariat, COMESA Business Council and the Government of Zimbabwe, together with ZimTrade and the Zimbabwe National Chamber of Commerce.
