Craft Properties CEO Taruberekera to represent Zim at UN Session
‘Zimbabwe is Open for the Business’ mantra has inspired a number of local entrepreneurs to market Zimbabwe globally and source investments for the country.
Kadoma-based property development firm, Craft Properties Holdings’ chief executive officer, Mr Kudakwashe Taruberekera, is one such entrepreneur making waves on the international scene.
Besides representing Zimbabwe at various fora where he continues to preach the mantra of economic development in Zimbabwe, Mr Taruberekera has quoted attention beyond borders gaining respect from various global institutions in the process.
In one of the global recognitions, Mr Taruberekera who has amassed various global awards and accolades, has been nominated for the IBI WINNER 2022 Europe in the leaders of the year and social responsibility categories.
Mr Taruberekera has also been invited by UN to participate in the Uniting Business LIVE, taking place virtually from the 20th to the 22nd of September. Unpacking the forthcoming programme, Ms Ojiambo, said the Uniting Business Live connects high-level multi-stakeholder dialogues of the private sector forum.
With three full days of programming, at the start of the high-level opening week of the next UN General Assembly session, Uniting Business LIVE will once again virtually convene up to 10,000 leaders from business, government, academia and the civil society.
The UN will come together to take stock of the state of the world, address gaps in progress, drive business ambition on the SDGs and highlight cooperative and actionable solutions that are ready — today.
The Private Sector Forum is expected to provide a platform for CEOs, Government leaders and UN agency heads to engage in a high-level dialogue, allowing a global private sector and multi-stakeholder audience to engage first-hand in the debates and discussions.
On the sidelines of the Global Impact Forum, the Young SDG Innovators Summit will offer a virtual platform for young professionals to share experiences, learn from sustainability champions and celebrate the momentum they have built over the course of a 10-month rigorous programme.
