Zimbabwe Roundtable Business Engagement on the sidelines of the 80th United Nations General Assembly in New York, Lotte New York Palace: 21 September 2025

The Embassy of Zimbabwe in Washington D.C. convened a Zimbabwe Business Roundtable on the sidelines of the 80^th United Nation General Assembly on 21 September 2025, at Lotte New York Palace Hotel, in New York. The Roundtable was attended by 22 USA investors representing 14 companies in the sectors of agriculture, mining, energy, ICT, health and education, among others. Some of the companies are already on the ground in Zimbabwe pursuing the implementation of their projects. The Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Trade Prof. dr. A. Murwira was the guest of honor.

The Business Roundtable was held under the theme “Agriculture, Mining, Energy value chains – the anchor for Zimbabwe’s growth. The choice of the theme was appropriate as it  reinforces the centrality of the agriculture and mining sector in Zimbabwe’s economy and the power generation nexus as vital for the industrialization and value addition.

All the 15 companies in attendance had the opportunity to pitch a high-level summary of their business interest in the country and in the process outline their expectations from the high-level government representatives. The Embassy will continue to provide all the necessary support for the realization of these investment projects. 

The Embassy of Zimbabwe in Washington D.C. would like to thank all the investors for their interest in partnering Zimbabwe in its development trajectory.
