28 November 2026 · 08:00–17:00 CATProposed venue: Mulungushi International Conference Centre, Lusaka

Guiding question

What prevents a young Zambian from actually entering these value chains — is it finance, markets, land, technology, procurement, mentorship or regulation? And how can we create an enabling environment for young people to deliver business solutions in these value chains?

What the conversation will cover

Agriculture — irrigation, mechanisation, agri-tech, storage, logistics and processing
Mining — mining services, equipment maintenance and environmental services
Energy — solar, mini-grids, efficiency and electrical installation
Tourism — hospitality, tourism technology, events and content creation
Livestock — feed production, veterinary services and cold-chain logistics

Expected output

Two to three commitments and one measurable target for the coming year, recorded for the Grow Zambia Declaration.
