Cotecna proudly sponsored and participated in the ZIMSA Business Chamber event hosted at Forvis Mazars, Melrose Estate. The morning was filled with dynamic discussions, valuable networking, and key insights into trade and development opportunities in Zimbabwe and the broader Southern African region. 

With a strong turnout of industry leaders, the event highlighted the evolving trade landscape and the global implications of African commerce. Discussions covered a range of topics, from investment potential to regulatory developments, positioning Zimbabwe as a strategic player in regional and international trade. 

Among the distinguished attendees were Deputy Ambassador Mr. Shephard Gwenzi and Dr. Rutendo Hwindingwi, both of whom shared expert perspectives on the continent’s economic growth and challenges. Their insights reinforced the importance of collaboration in unlocking Zimbabwe’s full trade potential.
