Turkish business delegation expected in Zim next month

The upcoming visit of a Turkish business delegation to Zimbabwe in March 2024 is poised to significantly impact the business landscape of both countries.

This event, facilitated by the Zimbabwe National Chamber of Commerce (ZNCC) in collaboration with the Turkish Electro Technology (TET) Electrical and Electronics Exporters Association, represents a crucial opportunity for business leaders and entrepreneurs from both nations to forge strong partnerships and explore new avenues for growth and collaboration.

The Turkish Electro Technology Exporters’ Association (TET) is a semi-governmental agency founded in 1991, subject to the Ministry of Trade, with an active member base of 7,000 companies working to improve trade volume and cooperation opportunities in the electrical and electronics industries.

The programme was planned after the leaders of the TET Association visited Zimbabwe in December 2023, showcasing the commitment of Turkish businesses to explore and expand into the Zimbabwean market.

The ZNCC, with its 130-year history, has established itself as a pivotal organisation dedicated to advancing business development in Zimbabwe.

Through its membership-based model, the ZNCC has been instrumental in advocating for the interests of its members, providing them with valuable resources and support to navigate the complexities of the business environment.

With a strong presence across key regions in Zimbabwe, including Mashonaland, Matabeleland, Midlands, Manicaland, and Masvingo, the ZNCC ensures that its services are accessible and tailored to the needs of businesses nationwide.

The collaboration between the ZNCC and the TET Electrical and Electronics Exporters Association underscores the commitment of both organisations to fostering international trade and investment.

By facilitating face-to-face B2B meetings between Turkish companies and Zimbabwean counterparts, the event aims to create a platform for meaningful engagement and collaboration.

This initiative not only opens up new market opportunities for businesses but also paves the way for knowledge exchange and technology transfer, which are essential for driving innovation and competitiveness in the electrical and electronics industry.

The event, scheduled to take place on the 12th of March 2024 in Harare, holds immense potential for businesses in both countries.

For Turkish companies, Zimbabwe represents a vibrant market with untapped potential, offering opportunities for growth and expansion.

On the other hand, Zimbabwean companies stand to benefit from access to Turkish expertise, technology, and market networks, which can help them enhance their competitiveness and expand their reach.

Local private sector players in the participant catalogue that includes white goods, electronics, cables, electricity production, and electricity distribution goods are invited to register with the Chamber of Commerce to be part of this event.

Furthermore, the event is expected to strengthen bilateral relations between Turkey and Zimbabwe, paving the way for future collaborations in various sectors.

By fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation of each other’s cultures, economies, and business practices, the event will lay a solid foundation for long-term partnerships that can drive economic growth and prosperity for both countries.

In conclusion, the upcoming visit of the Turkish business delegation to Zimbabwe represents a significant milestone in the efforts to enhance trade relations between the two countries.

Through the collaborative efforts of the ZNCC and the TET Electrical and Electronics Exporters Association, this event promises to create new opportunities for businesses to grow, innovate, and succeed in an increasingly interconnected global economy.
