Programme Highlight:

The council stated in its publication that in order to strengthen the gains so far made by the Council, it is expedient to reflect on the activities and work with stakeholders to develop of a common agenda for national economic transformation through resource-based investments.
The focus of this year’s programme would be on addressing national economic transformation through carefully designed and consciously set priority programmes that would emphasize technology innovation as the critical ingredient of the Country’s economic growth and development. While there will be room for exhibition of various types of technologies and products made from local materials, the Expo is expected to highlight issues related to the production of some key secondary industrial feedstock.
