ZITF targets more foreign exhibitors

THE Zimbabwe International Trade Fair Company seeks to attract at least 20 more countries to participate at its 60th Edition set for April 23 to 27 next year.

ZITF recently exhibited at the Intra African Trade Fair in Cairo, Egypt.

ZITF marketing and public relations manager Ms Stella Nkomo said the company is participating at the IATF 2018 to lure more foreign countries, companies and organisations.

This, she said, is expected to make the next edition the foreigners’ next stop in their quest to pursue investment and trading opportunities in Africa.

“Just like the IATF, ZITF 2019 offers unparalleled opportunities to get a snapshot view of the African market. The show will run from April 23-27 under the theme ‘Propagating Industrial Growth through Trade and Investment’.

“Exhibiting in IATF is part of the company’s foreign exhibitors’ campaign where ZITF seeks to attract over 20 foreign nations and over 200 foreign exhibitors to their 60th Trade Fair next year,” she said.

Over 1 000 exhibitors and 70 000 visitors attended while countries that put on a strong showing include Nigeria, South Africa, Sudan, Cote d’Ivoire, Kenya, Ghana and other signatories to the African Continental Free Trade Agreement.

The IATF 2018, was running under the theme: “Transforming Africa.”
