THE 27th edition of Mining, Engineering and Transport exhibition (MINE-ENTRA) that was slated for July 17-19, 2024 at the Zimbabwe International Trade Fair (ZITF) in Bulawayo has been postponed to a date yet to be announced. 

The development was revealed by the ZITF Company Board Chairman Busisa Moyo who said the decision to reschedule Mine-Entra was made to avoid any potential conflicts with the SADC Industrialisation Week that is slated for July 28- August 2 in Harare.

"The ZITF Company recognizes the importance of both Mine Entra and the SADC Industrialisation Week. Holding Mine Entra during the same timeframe could potentially result in divided attendance and detract from the impact of each event. Postponing Mine Entra will ensure that both events receive the focused participation they deserve, maximizing the opportunities for attendees and exhibitors. This approach will allow participants to fully engage with each event without scheduling conflicts."

"The ZITF Company, with the guidance of the Ministry of Mines and Mining Development and in partnership with the Chamber of Mines Zimbabwe, remains committed to delivering a world-class mining exhibition that fosters collaboration, innovation, and growth. The rescheduled Mine Entra exhibition will therefore continue to run under the theme: _Unearthing Success: The Mining Value Chains, Innovation and Industrialisation Nexus._" said Moyo

For over two decades, the Mine-Entra exhibition has grown and evolved into a one-stop shop for market intelligence, image building, networking and business development for the represented industries.

International exhibitors in the exhibition have come from The People’s Republic of China, Germany and South Africa in past Mine-Entra editions, with the majority of local participation hailing from Harare and Bulawayo.

The product mix is varied, including heavy engineering, equipment, conveyors, pumps and rubber products, construction, transport, insurance services and protective wear. External sites showcase earth moving equipment, automotive displays and heavy engineering.
