Mining has been a crucial driving force in Zimbabwe's economy, making a significant impact by contributing 13% to the country's GDP over the past few years. Furthermore, it has been a major contributor to the country’s export earnings, accounting for a staggering 60% of its total exports. While the statistics tell a positive story of the industry’s performance, it is time to unlock the full potential of the mining industry, hence the focus of the 27th edition of the Mining, Engineering and Transport Expo (Mine Entra). The exhibition aims to highlight the opportunities for sustainable economic development and diversification by focusing on value chains, innovation, and industrialisation. These three pillars have shown their transformative power not only in Zimbabwe but also in the global mining landscape.
Mine Entra 2024 draws inspiration from the latest trends and advancements in the local and international mining industry. Traditionally viewed as mature and capital-intensive, the mining sector is now undergoing a remarkable transformation driven by innovation and a focus on value chains and industrialisation. This convergence of mining and innovation opens up exciting possibilities for a more sustainable, efficient, and profitable future. By utilising innovation, the mining industry can improve mining processes, optimise mineral processing techniques, develop robust value chains, and ultimately lead to resource-based industrialisation. These advancements enable precise decision-making, maximise resource recovery, promote collaboration, and foster economic growth.
