HUNDREDS of potential investors have expressed interest in taking part in the Global Investment Conference for Africa 2025 (GICA) set to take place at Rainbow Towers in Harare from September 11 to 13.
The investment conference brings together top business leaders and investors from around the world and African governments.
Organised by Dubai-based company Bluefin Gold Group (BGG), the three-day event aims to catalyse strategic partnerships between governments, investors and champions in infrastructure development and smart technologies on the African continent and beyond.
The conference will be running under the theme, Bridging the gap for infrastructure development for Africa.
Charles Nyabaya, the executive director at BGG, yesterday said hundreds of investors have confirmed participation in the conference, to be graced by renowned business and pan African speakers.
"We are receiving overwhelming responses from scores of investors across the globe who are interested in travelling to Zimbabwe for the investment conference,” he said.
"The conference promises fireworks, allowing investors to foster collaborations that can help African countries achieve a trillion-dollar economy within the next eight years, Zimbabwe included.
“We are still mobilising big investors from around the world, and by September, we are expecting the number of both investors and delegates to attend the conference to have increased immensely."
