Since 2009 the country has experienced significant GDP growth\, greater consideration to the needs of the business community and greater efforts to attract foreign investments. Most recently\, Zimbabwe has worked to rejoin the Commonwealth\, which helps to underpin political and economic stability. \nThere is a strong political desire for investment and efficiency improvements in horticulture\, aquaculture\, cattle breeding\, crop cultivation (especially sugar sorghum\, millet and tobacco) and a focus on developing the food processing industry. This development is also seen in other sectors such as tourism and hospitality\, digital transformation\, health and sanitations etc. \nThe agricultural sector is increasingly integrated with regional markets in Kenya\, Botswana and Mozambique\, but also international markets in Europe and North America. \nWhat is unique about this mission?\nThe delegates will have an opportunity to meet and explore synergies with government representatives and industry organizations as well as one-on-one meeting with relevant commercial partners in Zimbabwe. \nMoreover\, the delegation trip will be arranged to coincide with the African-Nordic Foreign Ministers Meeting at the Victoria Falls and participants\, who are interested\, can take part in the business track\, which runs parallel to the ministerial meeting. \nWho should join?\nThe delegation is open to participation from companies working within the tech\, hospitality and agribusiness industry\, e.g.: \n\nFood production and food processing technology.\nAgricultural materials\, quality control and food safety.\nAgro-services\, machinery\, equipment.\nBiomass energy & solar.\nTech-solutions in support of food production.\nThe tourism and hospitality sector.\n\nEarly bird advantages\nA visit will yield the best results to your business if it is tailor-made to your company’s profile.
