AS preparations for
the Fourth Southern African Development Community (SADC),
Industrialisation Week is at a full swing, members of the public have
been called upon to turn out in loads and optimize the numerous
opportunities which will arise from the event.
The Permanent
Secretary in the Ministry of Industry and Trade, Prof Joseph
Buchweishaija observed
this in Dar es Salaam yesterday, noting that the
event will be attended by participants from all 16 member states from
August 5 to 8, this year in three different venues.
He identified the
venues to include the Julius Nyerere International Convention Centre
(JNICC), Karimjee and Gymkhana grounds located at the Dar es Salaam
Central Business District.
According to him,
the weeklong event will enable people to garner opportunities such as
industrial raw materials from agricultural produce among others.
He pointed out that
participants will get an opportunity to learn and exchange experience
from other member states within the SADC. Other opportunities, he said,
lies in the expansion of markets for their products found within and
outside the country.
"For those who have
not registered themselves they can do so before the day ends, and
others who will not have registered will still be in a position to visit
the exhibitions. "During the exhibitions, people will get a chance to
see products from other countries," said Prof Buchweishaija.
The Chairperson of
the preparations committee from the Ministry of Industry and Trade, Mr,
Ally Gugu noted that people can complete their registration through the
ministry's website www.mit. go.tz by clicking on a quick link of the
Industrialization Week and the 39th SADC Ordinary Summit of the Heads of
State.
"The opportunity
can be embraced by small and medium entrepreneurs and those who own big
industries. Let's all use this chance to realize the governments
ambition of becoming a middle income country through industrialization,"
noted Gugu.
