22 - 23 July 2010 @ One Great George Street, Westminister, London, SW1P 3AA, United Kingdom

The Zimbabwe Infrastructure Investment Conference will bring together all stakeholders to explore strategies to look at the short, medium and long term opportunities and challenges which are in Zimbabwe’s infrastructure climate. The focus for this conference will be confined to four critical infrastructure areas namely: Water and Sanitation, Transportation, Energy and Information Communications and Technologies (ICTs). These areas are seen as key to the prosperity of the country as well as being key enablers for mobilising the much needed foreign investments

The two day conference will be a mix of keynote speakers and networking opportunities that will make this the key event for Zimbabwe government officials, engineers, investors, policy makers, consultants, contractors, economists , researchers , academics, customers and many more. There are benefits to attendees beyond the insight provided in the conference sessions themselves. The conference is structured to allow maximum interaction between delegates throughout the days. In addition to the conference plenary sessions, there will be scope for networking and business development throughout the many refreshment breaks
