The listed company’s double-storey stand, a fusion of sleek design and cutting-edge digital solutions, was one of the show’s standout attractions.

Econet Wireless Zimbabwe won the Best Overall Stand in the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) sector at the 2025 Zimbabwe Agricultural Show (ZAS).

Organisers and judges said the award recognised the country’s leading telecommunications and technology company’s outstanding exhibition stand, which captivated the thousands of visitors who thronged the stand throughout the week-long event.

Now in its 115th year, ZAS remains the country’s largest annual business showcase held in Harare, bringing together players from the agriculture, industry, commerce, technology and community development sectors.

This year’s edition ran under the theme Building Bridges: Connecting Agriculture, Industry and Community — a theme that resonated strongly with Econet’s innovative culture and forward-looking exhibition.

The listed company’s double-storey stand, a fusion of sleek design and cutting-edge digital solutions, was one of the show’s standout attractions.

Visitors experienced live demonstrations of the company’s super-fast 5G technology  and its use cases, Internet of Things (IoT) applications, immersive virtual reality experiences, intelligent AI-powered chatbots and next-generation customer engagement platforms.

The showcase offered a bold glimpse into the future of connected living and enterprise, where technology helps scale businesses and enhance productivity and sustainability.

The holistic display reflected the company’s vision of leveraging technology to empower individuals, transform businesses, and support Zimbabwe’s national development agenda.

Econet’s recognition at ZAS also underscores the critical role the company continues to play in the ICT sector in bridging the gap between agriculture and industry through technology and digital transformation.
