Harare, (New Ziana) – All is set for the 7th annual Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) Industrialization Week which will run from 29 July to 2 August in the capital.

The event will be held under the theme “Promotion, Innovation to unlock opportunities for sustainable economic growth towards an industrialized SADC.”

In a statement, the SADC secretariat said the event would enable the region to take stock of the strides it has made towards industrialization.

It also presents a platform for SADC member states, the private sector, international partners, policymakers, researchers, small and medium enterprises, financial institutions and civil society to share experiences on driving industrialisation and economic transformation in the region.

“The Republic of Zimbabwe through the Confederation of Zimbabwe Industries (CZI) and SADC business council, with the SADC secretariat, will host the 7th annual SADC industrialization week in Harare, Zimbabwe,” read part of the statement.

The event will be held shortly before the 44th SADC summit of Heads of State and Government scheduled for 17 August where Zimbabwe is set to assume the chairmanship of the regional body.
