A wide array of sectors will be showcased at the event, including building and construction materials, extractive manufacturing (metals, minerals, and plastics), agri-processing, paints industry, textile and leather industry, cosmetics industry, manufacturing of consumer goods, petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, renewable energy technologies, electrical appliances, modern industrial equipment, and machinery.
Mr. Fortunatus Mhambe, Director of Trade Promotion at the Tanzania Trade Development Authority (TanTrade), revealed that the authority has entered into agreements with CTI to organize the expo, with the primary objective of promoting the growth of domestic industries.
He encouraged stakeholders from both within the country and abroad to participate in the event, highlighting that the registration window is currently open.
"Besides gaining insights into new technologies, the event will provide participants with opportunities to promote various products and services manufactured in the country, thereby facilitating connections between manufacturers and producers of raw materials and other essential services used in industries," remarked Mr. Mhambe.
