Zimbabwe International Trade Fair (ZITF) 2025

ZITF 2025 will take place from 21-26 April 2025 at the Zimbabwe International Exhibition Centre in Bulawayo Zimbabwe.

ZITF 2025 comes on the back of a successful 2024 edition that lived up to its billing as Zimbabwe’s premier platform for high-level business networking, interactions and engagements among both local and international participants. The show ran from 23-27 April 2024 under the theme “INNOVATION: The Catalyst to Industrialisation & Trade.” The theme highlighted that innovation, industrialisation and trade are complementary forces that open pathways to economic growth and progress. It sought to spotlight Zimbabwe as a nation boasting a vibrant and growing innovation scene, largely driven by Government initiatives as espoused in the guiding Vision 2030, which emphasizes promoting innovation, entrepreneurship, equitable development, and prosperity for all.
