Preparations for the Mining, Transport and Engineering Expo (Mine Entra) 2025 are in full swing, with organisers reporting robust early subscriptions and growing interest from across the mining value chain,Mining Zimbabwecan report. The event happening from the 8th to the 10th of October, has long been regarded as the premier platform for business, networking, and knowledge exchange in Zimbabwe’s mining, engineering, and transport industries — and this year’s edition is shaping up to build on that legacy. So far, as of last week, 173 exhibitors have confirmed their participation, spanning mining, engineering, transport, construction, and allied sectors.
International players from South Africa and China have already booked space, with organisers expecting numbers to climb steadily in the coming weeks. The goal is to at least match last year’s record 289 exhibitors — a milestone that represented a 41% increase on 2023 and a 91% surge in international participation. Running under the theme“Beyond Extraction: Sustaining the Future of Mining,”this year’s Mine Entra will put sustainability, innovation, and community impact at the centre of conversations.
Conference sessions will focus on practical solutions for sustainable mining, green technologies, the energy transition, ESG compliance, digital transformation, automation, and regulatory innovation. In an interview with Mining Zimbabwe, ZITF Chief Executive Officer Nick Ndebele said last year’s success was a strong endorsement of Mine Entra’s relevance to the industry. Beyond the exhibition stands, ZITF has also introduced structured business matchmaking designed to connect exhibitors with potential partners, suppliers, and financiers — ensuring participants derive tangible value from attending.
