PREPARATIONS for the UK–Zimbabwe Business Expo 2026, scheduled for October in Birmingham, United Kingdom, have gathered momentum following the announcement that TN CyberTech Bank will be the event’s official Title Sponsor, with the bank’s founder and chief executive, Tawand Nyambirai, set to headline the high-profile investment forum.
Organised by the Zimbabweans in Diaspora Organisation (ZIDO), the expo has established itself as a premier platform for connecting Zimbabwean businesses, investors and professionals in the United Kingdom with opportunities back home.
This year’s partnership with TN CyberTech Bank is expected to place financial technology, digital banking and diaspora investment at the centre of discussions.
Nyambirai’s participation is expected to be one of the highlights of the October event as he shares insights into the future of digital banking, financial innovation and the role of the diaspora in accelerating Zimbabwe’s economic transformation.
Beyond its status as title sponsor, TN CyberTech Bank’s involvement underscores the growing importance of technology-driven financial services in supporting cross-border investment, facilitating remittances and providing seamless banking solutions for Zimbabweans living abroad.
Delegates attending the Birmingham expo will have the opportunity to engage with the bank’s specialists and explore a range of diaspora-focused banking products, digital financial solutions and exclusive investment opportunities designed to simplify doing business between the United Kingdom and Zimbabwe.
Zimbabweans in Diaspora Organisation chairman Blessed Kapesa said the partnership with TN CyberTech Bank marks a significant milestone for the expo.
“We are proud to welcome TN CyberTech Bank as the official Title Sponsor of the UK–Zimbabwe Business Expo 2026.
This partnership demonstrates the confidence that leading Zimbabwean businesses have in the expo as a strategic platform for promoting trade, investment and innovation between Zimbabwe and the diaspora,” said Kapesa.
He said Nyambirai’s participation would add significant value to the event.
“Mr Tawanda Nyambirai is one of Zimbabwe’s foremost business leaders whose journey in finance and innovation continues to inspire entrepreneurs across the globe. His presence as a headline speaker will enrich conversations around digital transformation, financial inclusion and the immense investment potential that exists between Zimbabwe and its diaspora.”
Kapesa said the collaboration reflects a shared vision of empowering Zimbabweans abroad with practical financial solutions that encourage greater participation in national development.
“The diaspora remains one of Zimbabwe’s strongest economic pillars. Through partnerships with institutions such as TN CyberTech Bank, we are creating a platform that not only connects people but also delivers practical financial solutions that make investing and banking with Zimbabwe easier, faster and more accessible.”
With Birmingham expected to host hundreds of entrepreneurs, corporate executives, policymakers and investors in October, the UK–Zimbabwe Business Expo 2026 is set to further strengthen economic ties between Zimbabwe and the United Kingdom while showcasing innovative Zimbabwean businesses capable of competing on the global stage.
