The Zimbabwe International Trade Fair Company, the organisers of the Mining, Engineering and Transport (MineEntra) exhibition has announced that the show is set to be held in October.
The event was initially scheduled for 17 to 19 July but was deferred at the beginning of that month citing the 7th SADC Industrialisation Week and the 44th SADC Summit, related programes and associated events which ran from 28 July to 18 August.
“The ZITF Company is pleased to announce the dates of the rescheduled and highly anticipated Mine Entra 2024 exhibition. The event will be held from 9 to 11 October at the Zimbabwe International Exhibition Centre (ZIEC) in Bulawayo. It will still run under the theme, “Unearthing success: The Mining Value Chains, Innovation and Industrialisation Nexus,” the company said in a statement yesterday.
The company highlighted the importance of the mining sector in the quest for the prosperity of the southern African region and the continent as a whole.
“The mining, engineering and transport sectors all play a crucial role in making this continental goal a reality. The event further seeks to foster industrialisation in the mining sector through value chain development. Hence, we invite and urge all players in these, and other, supporting sectors to take part in Mine Entra 2024 to continue the dialogue and showcase how success can be unearthed through leveraging our vast mineral resources and maximising the latent opportunities existing throughout the mining value chains,” the company said.
The event is traditionally held in July but this year and last year it had to be rescheduled owing to some national programmes. Last year the event was moved to November due to the general elections which were held in August.
