CRAFT Properties Holdings Chief Executive, Professor Kudakwashe Taruberekera, is set to embark on yet another whirlwind tour across the globe in his quest to ensure that Zimbabwe is well represented at global events.
Prof Taruberekera will be raising the Zimbabwean flag high in New York City, from the 19th of September 2023, as he attends the Leaders’ Summit of the UN Global Compact at the Javits Center.
Leaders’ Summit intends to review the private sector’s contribution to advancing the SDGs and explore business leadership skills needed to achieve the 2030 Agenda fully.
This will be followed by his attendance at The Global Africa Business Initiative from 21-22 September 2023, a landmark event that will bring together private sector and Government leaders with the intention to promote investment and trade opportunities across Africa and the world.
The event is jointly held during the UN General Assembly week.
It will also focus on Energy Access and Energy Transitions, Inclusive Growth and Trade.
Recently, on the 18th of July 2023, he travelled to New York City as part of the global innovators at the 2023 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Business Forum themed “Turbocharging the 2030 Agenda with Business Impact”.
Prof Taruberekera is hopeful that these summits will yield fruit in expanding his business endeavours, as he positively enhances his knowledge through sharing ideas with like-minded businesspersons.
He intends to continue attending such summits regularly in his pursuit to contribute to the diplomatic role for Zimbabwe.
Already in the pipeline, is his trip to Washington DC between 9 June 2024 and 11 June 2024 for the strategic leaders’ summit; likewise, he recently received an invitation from the Masterminds Business School in London, United Kingdom for the Dubai Leadership Conference and Awards from 24 to 26 0ctober 2023.
