Shaping Africa’s Competitive Future: ZITF and the Zimbabwe National Chamber of Commerce (ZNCC) to Host the Connect Africa Symposium 2026
Africa’s economic story is increasingly being defined not just by its resources or policy ambitions, but by its ability to connect meaningfully and compete effectively on a global stage. As regional frameworks such as the African Continental Free Trade Area begin to move from agreement to implementation, the real question facing businesses, policymakers, and institutions is no longer whether integration is possible, but how it can be translated into tangible economic value. It is within this context that the Connect Africa Symposium 2026, hosted by the Zimbabwe International Trade Fair in partnership with the Zimbabwe National Chamber of Commerce (ZNCC), emerges as a timely and strategic platform that brings together the people, ideas, and influence required to move from conversation to action.
