The UK Zimbabwe Business Expo 2025, organised by the Zimbabweans in Diaspora Organisation (ZIDO), is set to run from October 2 to 4 in Birmingham, United Kingdom.
This year’s edition will run under the theme “Unlocking Trade and Investment Opportunities in Zimbabwe.”, with the aim of promoting bilateral trade, attracting foreign direct investment, and actively engaging the Zimbabwean diaspora in national development through innovation, capital, and expertise.
The three-day event will feature exhibitions, expert-led seminars, and high-level discussions designed to spark strategic partnerships, enhance market access, and provide visibility into Zimbabwe’s investment ecosystem.
Speaking at a recent press conference, ZIDO’s chief host Hugo Ribatika highlighted the expo’s value for businesses at every stage.
“Whether you are a startup or an established business, our packages are tailored to showcase your innovations, enhance your brand, and connect you with thousands of potential customers,” he said.
He further emphasized the anticipated outcomes of the expo, noting, “This is an opportunity for greater visibility of Zimbabwe’s investment landscape and enhanced diaspora-led regional development.”
The event will conclude on October 4 with a prestigious dinner and awards gala celebrating innovation, leadership, and excellence in the Zimbabwean business sector.
Established in 2019, the UK Zimbabwe Business Expo has grown into a premier platform for promoting trade, investment, and innovation between Zimbabwe and its diaspora community. Hosted annually by ZIDO, the expo brings together entrepreneurs, policymakers, and investors to explore business opportunities and foster meaningful collaborations.
