Zambia is preparing to host the second edition of the Invest Zambia International Conference (IZIC) 2026 from July 15 to 17. The event will bring together local and international investors, policymakers, and business leaders to explore investment opportunities across the country’s priority growth sectors. Commerce, Trade and Industry Minister, Hon. Chipoka Mulenga, highlighted the government’s commitment to positioning Zambia as a competitive and attractive investment destination. The conference aligns with the nation’s broader economic transformation agenda.
IZIC 2026 aims to secure $5 billion in new investment commitments, a significant increase from last year’s $3.4 billion. Themed “Driving Generational Transformative Investments through Joint Ventures and Partnerships,” the conference will attract around 2,500 delegates and feature 100 exhibitors. State House has confirmed full government support for the event, citing its strategic role in facilitating major deals and unlocking trade opportunities. The focus will be on energy, mineral beneficiation, agriculture, and manufacturing, positioning Zambia as a hub for sustainable economic growth and investment expansion.
The conference promises to create new avenues for partnerships, business development, and sector-specific growth. With Zambia’s stable economic environment, favorable policies, and growing market potential, IZIC 2026 is set to be a pivotal platform for investors seeking long-term returns. The event will provide practical insights, networking opportunities, and deal-making forums that could drive the country’s economic agenda forward.
By bringing together key stakeholders, IZIC 2026 is expected to reinforce Zambia’s reputation as an investment-friendly destination while catalyzing transformative projects across all sectors of the economy. Investors attending the conference will have the chance to engage with policymakers, explore joint ventures, and contribute directly to the country’s ambitious growth targets.
