Zambia Pushes Industrial Growth Through SME Support
The Zambian government is ramping up its industrialisation agenda, placing small and medium enterprises (SMEs) at the heart of national growth.
At the North-Western Province Investment Expo, officials from the Ministry of Small and Medium Enterprise Development announced plans to:
✅ Expand Multi-Facility Economic Zones and industrial yards
✅ Promote local content so Zambian suppliers benefit more from mining and energy projects
✅ Encourage innovation and value-addition across all sectors
Why it matters:
By empowering local businesses and improving regional infrastructure, Zambia aims to create more jobs, reduce imports, and strengthen its manufacturing base.
📊 Entrepreneurs: Now’s the time to align with government programmes, partnerships, and supply-chain opportunities in mining, energy, and construction.
